Λευίτης (T WH Λευειτης (so Tr except in Act_4:36; see εἰ, ἰ)), Λευίτου, ὁ, a Levite; a. one of Levi's posterity. b. in a norrower sense those were called Levites (Hebrew μΕεΔι αΐΜπΕι, μΐεΔιΔΜιν) who, not being of the race of Aaron for whom alone the priesthood was reserved, served as assistants of the priests. It was their duty to keep the sacred utensils and the temple clean, to provide the sacred loaves, to open and shut the gates of the temple, to sing sacred hymns in the temple, and do many other things; so Luk_10:32; Joh_1:19; Act_4:36; ((Plutarch, quaest. conv. 1. iv. quaest. 6, 5; Philo de vit.
