Sallums voorgeslacht voerde via Kore en Ebjasaf terug tot Korach. Hij en zijn naaste verwanten, de Korachieten, waren verantwoordelijk voor de offers en de bescherming van de tempel, precies zoals hun voorouders dat bij de tabernakel hadden gedaan.
Wat betekent dit?
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.
Uitgelegd voor kinderen
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!
Historische achtergrond
