	The term '''Sons of Levi''' originally denoted all members of the [[House of Levi]]. In the post-exilic period it came to denote those members of the House of Levi who served as [[Levites]], or ''Servants of the Priests'', while the [[Sons of Aaron]] served as [[Priests]], and the [[Sons of Phinehas]] as [[High Priests]].		The term '''Sons of Levi''' originally denoted all members of the [[House of Levi]]. In the post-exilic period it came to denote those members of the House of Levi who served as [[Levites]], or ''Servants of the Priests'', while the [[Sons of Aaron]] served as [[Priests]], and the [[Sons of Phinehas]] as [[High Priests]].

	~~==Overview==~~

	~~In Gen 49 (and earliest sources) the [[Sons of Levi]] are a tribe of warriors, cursed by Jacob to be scattered among Israel.~~

	In Deuteronomy and subsequent sources the Sons of Levi were given no inheritance in the Land of Israel as they were singled out by God to serve as [[Priests]]. The shift was likely a consequence of the [[Reform of Josiah]].

	~~In Ezekiel's vision of the [[Restoration]] only a Levitical family (the [[Sons of Zadok]]) will serve as priests; all the other families will be downgraded as "servants" because of their sins.~~

	In the Second Temple, a threefold division emerged. Several Levitical families managed to retain their right to serve as [[Priests]]; they were called the [[Sons of Aaron]]). The [[Sons of Zadok]] were given the status of [[High Priests]], and singled out as [[Sons of Phinehas]]. The remaining [[Sons of Levi]] were "servants" (or [[Levites]]).

	After the Maccabean Revolt, the fall of the [[House of Zadok]] did not affect the distinction between [[Levites]] and [[Priests]], but all [[Sons of Aaron]] were now deemed eligible for the High Priesthood. Members of the House of Zadok continued to serve as High Priests in Egypt and Samaria.

	The destruction of the Temple in 70 CE In Christianity the dignity of the House of Levi were transferred to, and superseded by, the new priesthood in Christ, while in Rabbinic Judaism being a member of the House of Levi remained a acknowledged honorific title even in absentia of the Temple. The Samaritan Temple is still run by high priests, priests and levites who claim descent from the House of Levi.

	~~== Ancient sources==~~

	~~Gen 46:11 -- The sons of Levi: Gershon, Kohath and Merari.~~

	Lev 6:16 -- These were the names of the sons of Levi according to their records: Gershon, Kohath and Merari... [19] The sons of Merari were Mahli and Mushi. These were the clans of Levi according to their records.

	~~Num The families of the tribe of Levi, however, were not counted along with the others.~~


	~~Num 26:59 -- The name of Amram's wife was Jochebed, a descendant of Levi, who was born to the Levites in Egypt. To Amram she bore Aaron, Moses and their sister Miriam.~~


	Deut 10:8 -- At that time the LORD set apart the tribe of Levi to carry the ark of the covenant of the LORD, to stand before the LORD to minister and to pronounce blessings in his name, as they still do today.

	Deut 18:1 -- The priests, who are Levites--indeed the whole tribe of Levi--are to have no allotment or inheritance with Israel. They shall live on the offerings made to the LORD by fire, for that is their inheritance.

	Deut 21:5 -- The priests, the sons of Levi, shall step forward, for the LORD your God has chosen them to minister and to pronounce blessings in the name of the LORD and to decide all cases of dispute and assault.

	~~Deut 27:12 -- When you have crossed the Jordan, these tribes shall stand on Mount Gerizim to bless the people: Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, Joseph and Benjamin~~
