Organized Worship
This verse details the sons of Merari, led by Ethan, who stood 'on the left hand.' Commentators explain this was a literal, physical arrangement in the sanctuary. The choir of Heman stood in the center, Asaph's on the right, and Ethan's on the left, showing that Israel's worship was highly structured and orderly.
