A Prophetic List of Names
Scholars note a remarkable feature hidden within this list of Heman's sons. Several of the names, when read together in Hebrew, form a poetic sentence of praise.

This suggests the names themselves were a form of worship and a testament to God's work, reflecting the family's deep devotion.
