Auch den Dienst als Wächter an den Eingängen des Zelts versahen Schallum und die Männer seiner Sippe. Sie waren Nachkommen Korachs, denn Schallum stammte über Kore und Abisaf von Korach ab. Seine Vorfahren hatten schon in der Wüste den Eingang zum Lager Jahwes bewacht.
Was bedeutet das?
This verse describes Shallum and his family, the Korahites, who were responsible for guarding the tabernacle and its gates. Their ancestors also had important roles in serving God.
Für Kinder erklärt
Imagine Shallum and his family as the friendly guards at a big, special tent. Just like how your parents keep your house safe, Shallum and his family kept this important tent safe. Their grandpas did the same job a long time ago!
Historischer Hintergrund

Anwendung für heute
