Thanks to Ancestry.com I have traced my roots back to the Levi tribe. Please help me learn more. Here is what I know...

Jacob’s 3rd son by his wife Leah, also the tribe named after him. His 3 sons became the founders of the 3 principal divisions of what is known as the Levitical Priesthood. “Levites” applies to the whole tribe, but usually it seems to leave out he priestly family of Aaron?? Anyone know more? The tribe of Levi did not receive an allotment in Promised Land but was given 48 cities inside of land apportioned to the other tribes. Heberws 7:11.
