Levi

Levi was one of Jacob's twelve sons. After the golden calf incident, the Levites rallied to Moses' side, and God set them apart for priestly service. They received no land inheritance — God Himself was their inheritance (Deuteronomy 10:9). The entire priestly and Temple worship system depended on the tribe of Levi. Jesus, being from the tribe of Judah, was a priest 'in the order of Melchizedek' — a different, higher priesthood.
