Levi

Levi/Levy (/ˈlv/, Hebrew: לֵּוִי; Standard Levy Tiberian Lēwî; literally joining) was, according to the Book of Genesis, the third son of Jacob and Leah, and the founder of the Israelite Tribe of Levi (the Levites). Certain religious and political functions were reserved for the Levites, and in the documentary hypothesis, the early sources of the Torah—the Jahwist and Elohist—appear to treat the term Levi as just being a word meaning priest; some scholars therefore suspect that "levi" was originally a general term for a priest, and had no connection to ancestry, and that it was only later, for example in the priestly source and Blessing of Moses, that the existence of a tribe named Levi became assumed, in order to explain the origin of the priestly caste.

Origins

The Torah suggests that the name of Levi refers to Leah's hope for Jacob to join with her, implying a derivation from yillaweh, meaning he will join, but some Biblical scholars have proposed quite different origins of the name. These scholars suspect that it may simply mean priest, either as a loan word from the Minaean lawi'u, meaning priest, or by referring to those people who were joined to the ark of the covenant. Another possibility is that the Levites originated as migrants, and that the name Levites indicates their joining with either the Israelites in general, or the earlier Israelite priesthood in particular.

Levič

Levič (pronounced [ˈleːʋitʃ]) is a small village in the hills southwest of Slovenska Bistrica in northeastern Slovenia. The area is part of the traditional region of Styria. It is included with the rest of the Municipality of Slovenska Bistrica in the Drava Statistical Region.

  • Antonia (historically, Antonia Major or Antonia Minor, daughter of Mark Antony and Octavia of the Julii born after Antony left Rome and raised by her mother alone. She could possibly be the daughter of Marcus Agrippa. Octavia complains of her being a disobedient child.
  • Alfidia (historically, Aufidia), portrayed by Deborah Moore. The mother of Livia, she is present in "A Necessary Fiction" when a married Livia catches the eye of young Octavian, and both women are pleased when he insists that Livia divorce her current husband to marry him. Later, in "De Patre Vostro", Alfidia lightly questions Octavia's loyalty to her family at dinner, and is present when Atia of the Julii finally puts daughter-in-law Livia in her place.

    Levi

    by: Old Crow Medicine Show

    Born upon the blue ridge, at the Carolina line
    Baptized on the banks of the new river
    Brought upon blue grass and clear moon shine
    And tough as iron but a heart soft as leather
    Levi, lord, lord, lord, they shot him down
    10 000 miles from a southern town
    Oh, Levi,
    Like a fire on a mountain, running wild with no states
    Playing nights on the glory horse shoe
    And Indian raids
    Now it's parachutes and combat boots
    They camouflaged they planes
    And a country boy who don't belong
    In the desert anyways
    Levi, lord, lord, lord, they shot him down
    10 000 miles from a southern town
    Oh, Levi,
    Well the sandbox sure gets lonesome
    And it's 109 degrees
    Singing carry my back to Virginia
    Lord I'm down here on my knees
    In a market skrell while the bells were ringing
    Loud to fill the air
    Levi gazed his eyes out, to the rocket player
    Be on the desert and the ocean
    To the farthest fields on home
    And when the bullets pierced his body
    He was already gone
    Levi, lord, lord, lord, they shot him down
    10 000 miles from a southern town
    Oh, Levi, lord, lord, lord, they shot him down
