Kore the son of Imnah the Levite, the keeper of the East Gate, was over the freewill offerings to God, to distribute the offerings of the Lord and the most holy things. And under him were Eden, Miniamin, Jeshua, Shemaiah, Amariah, and Shecaniah, his faithful assistants in the cities of the priests, to distribute allotments to their brethren by divisions, to the great as well as the small.
Eden, Miniamin, Jeshua, Shemaiah, Amariah, and Shecaniah were faithful assistants. To be called faithful is to be paid the highest compliment. It certainly ought to be our highest aspiration.

We follow in his footsteps;
What if our feet be torn?
Where He has marked the pathway
All hail the briar and thorn!
Scarce seen, scarce heard, unreckoned,
Despised, defamed, unknown
Or heard, but by our singing,
On children, ever on!
Gerhard Tersteegen, “Pilgrim Song”
