Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for the Hebrew name Machath, as it is a specific proper noun unique to the Hebrew genealogical context. However, the concept of Levitical service and lineage can be related to Greek terms associated with priesthood and temple service, such as ἱερεύς (hiereus, Strong's Greek 2409) for "priest." Usage: The name Machath appears in the genealogical records of the Levites. It is specifically mentioned in the context of the descendants of Merari, one of the three main divisions of the Levites. Context: Machath is a Levite mentioned in the genealogical lists of the tribe of Levi. The name appears in 1 Chronicles 6:35 (BSB), where it is listed among the descendants of Merari, the son of Levi. The Levites were set apart for religious duties and temple service in ancient Israel. The genealogical records in 1 Chronicles serve to establish the lineage and duties of the Levitical families, emphasizing their role in the worship and religious life of Israel. Machath, as a descendant of Merari, would have been part of the group responsible for the care and transportation of the tabernacle and its furnishings during the Israelites' wilderness wanderings and later in the temple service.
