Alternate translation: "The descendants of Levi who became priests" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-distinguish]]) # from the people "from the people of Israel" # from their brothers Here "brothers" means they are all related to each other through Abraham. Alternate translation: "from their relatives" # they, too, have come from Abraham's body This is a way of saying that they were descendants of Abraham. Alternate translation: "they, too, are descendants of Abraham" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])
