Context of 1 Chronicles 6:48

46Hilkiah was Amzi's son. Amzi was Bani's son. Bani was Shemer's son. 47Shemer was Mahli's son. Mahli was Mushi's son. Mushi was Merari's son. Merari was Levi's son. All the other Levites also had jobs to do in God's special tent. 49Only Aaron and his descendants served God as priests. They offered sacrifices to God on the altar for burnt offerings. They also burned sweet oils on the altar for incense. That was their work in the Most Holy Place. They made sacrifices so that God would forgive the sins of the Israelites. They did all this in the way that God's servant Moses had commanded. 50These were Aaron's descendants: Eleazar was Aaron's son. Phinehas was Eleazar's son. Abishua was Phinehas's son.
