Libni was a son of Gershon and a grandson of Levi, one of the twelve sons of Israel. He was the founder of the Libnite clan among the Levites, who were responsible for service at the tabernacle. His descendants played an important role in temple service throughout Israel's history.
58These were the clans of Levi: the Libnite clan, the Hebronite clan, the Mahlite clan, the Mushite clan, the Korahite clan. And Kohath was the father of Amram.
25The responsibility of the sons of Gershon at the tent of meeting was the tabernacle and the tent, its covering, the curtain at the entrance of the tent of meeting,
26the hangings of the courtyard, which enclose the tabernacle and the altar on every side, the curtain at the entrance of the courtyard, and its ropes—together with all the work connected with them.
25They shall carry the curtains of the tabernacle, the tent of meeting with its covering and the covering of fine leather that goes over it, the screen for the entrance to the tent of meeting,
26the hangings of the courtyard, the screen for the entrance at the gate of the courtyard surrounding the tabernacle and the altar, their ropes, and all the equipment for their service. They shall do everything that needs to be done with these things.
17They ministered with music before the tabernacle, the tent of meeting, until Solomon built the house of the LORD in Jerusalem, and they carried out their service according to the order laid down for them.
