LEVI
PREFACE
This record evaluates historical knowledge, as it relates to:
The BOOK [Stick] of LEVI
Information gleaned from social contexts, both secular and religious, are
reviewed, using
modern genealogical research specialist standards: to properly reconstruct and
correctly
portray real historical lives and family pedigrees. Cultural, religious
and family tradition,
(their stated facts and viewpoints), are surveyed within given ancient contexts
of
primary
and secondary record sources, as handed down for the benefit of our modern
generation.
GENEALOGIES:
A Master Number beginning with three digits is given to the direct line
descending stem. All other descending lineages are ordered according to
where they connect into the direct line of descent as sons or daughters.
They have a dash (-) to show the connection. The Numbers are arranged
by time of birth in the family, where possible, with the direct descendant
being placed where he or she belongs by order of birth. In cases of long
and questionable pedigrees, the lineage is shown descending down, but
with no numbering system attached. Added commentary is author's opinion.

Aaron
1 Chr. 23: 13
bAaron was
cseparated,
that he should
sanctify the most holy things, he [Aaron] and his sons
for ever, to burn dincense
before the LORD, to minister
unto him, and to ebless
in his name for ever.
D&C 68: 15-21
(Aaronic Priesthood)
And if they be literal descendants of
aAaron
they have a legal right to the bishopric, if they are the
bfirstborn
among the sons of Aaron; For the firstborn holds the right of the
presidency over this priesthood, and the
akeys or
authority of the
same. No man has a legal right to this office, to hold the keys of
this priesthood, except he be a
aliteral
descendant and the firstborn
of Aaron. . . . And a literal descendant of Aaron, also, must be
designated by this Presidency, and found worthy, and
aanointed,
and ordained under the hands of this Presidency, otherwise they
are not legally authorized to officiate in their priesthood. But, by
virtue of the decree concerning their right of the priesthood descending
from father to son, they may claim their
aanointing if
at any time
they can prove their lineage, or do ascertain it by revelation from
the Lord under the bhands
of the above named Presidency.

The BOOK of MOSES - The Pearl
of Great Price.
Moses obtained two sets of
tablets (tables of stone), written upon
by JEHOVAH (Jesus Christ): the first being the laws of His Holy
Order (and the ordinances thereof); the second tables being the
set of lesser laws, known
as the Ten Commandments. Jesus Christ
wrote records in heaven, as well
as upon earth, showing by His wise
example, the way back to the presence of His God: the great Eloheim.
Moses received the Melchizedek Priesthood under the hand of his
father-in-law Jethro.
D&C 84: 6-14 And Jethro received it under
the hand of Caleb;
And Caleb received it under the hand of Elihu;
And Elihu under the hand of Jeremy; And Jeremy under the hand
of Gad; And Gad under the hand of Esaias; And Esaias received it
under the hand of God.
JST Gen. 14: 25-40 And this Melchizedek,
having thus established righteousness, was called the King of Heaven
[GOD] by his people, or, in other words, the King of Peace. [GOD]
