Exegesis
The shift to u-me-halviyim {וּמֵֽהַלְוִיִּים | u-me-hal-vī-yim} ‘and from the Levites’ introduces a distinct group, followed by ṣōferīm {סֹפְרִים | ṣō-fer-îm} ‘scribes’, wə-šōtērīm {וְשֹׁטְרִים | wə-šō-tē-rîm} ‘officials’, and wə-šoʿărīm {וְשׁוֹעֲרִים | wə-šo-ʿa-rîm} ‘gatekeepers’, delineating Levitical roles.
In context — 2 Chronicles 34:13
And over the burden-bearers were overseers for all those performing the work in the service and ministry; and from the Levites were scribes and officials and gatekeepers .
