The Levites served in the [[temple]] on behalf of the other tribes of Israel and were responsible for making atonement for the sins of the people. Among the tribe of Levi, the descendants of Kohath—the lineage of [[Aaron]]—became [[Priest|priests]]. The remaining Levites, excluding Aaron’s direct descendants, were assigned to various duties in the temple. The term ''Levite'' can refer to all descendants of Levi, but more commonly, it is used in a narrower sense to refer only to those who served in the temple under the supervision of the priests.
