One of the duties of the Levites was to make copies of God’s law (II Chronicles 34:13).

And they often were the judges in legal matters (Deuteronomy 17:8-9; 21:5; I Chronicles 23:4; II Chronicles 19:8; Ezekiel 44:15, 24). Thus the scribes held a great deal of power in Israel’s society.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
