A colored, usually green, expansion growing from             the side of a stem or rootstock, in which the sap for the             use of the plant is elaborated under the influence of             light; one of the parts of a plant which collectively             constitute its foliage.          Note: Such leaves usually consist of a blade, or lamina,                supported upon a leafstalk or petiole, which, continued                through the blade as the midrib, gives off woody ribs                and veins that support the cellular texture.

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Levite       a descendant of the tribe of Levi (Ex. 6:25; Lev. 25:32; Num.       35:2; Josh. 21:3, 41). This name is, however, generally used as       the title of that portion of the tribe which was set apart for       the subordinate offices of the sanctuary service (1 Kings 8:4;       Ezra 2:70), as assistants to the priests.                When the Israelites left Egypt, the ancient manner of worship       was still observed by them, the eldest son of each house       inheriting the priest's office. At Sinai the first change in       this ancient practice was made. A hereditary priesthood in the       family of Aaron was then instituted (Ex. 28:1). But it was not       till that terrible scene in connection with the sin of the       golden calf that the tribe of Levi stood apart and began to       occupy a distinct position (Ex. 32). The religious primogeniture       was then conferred on this tribe, which henceforth was devoted       to the service of the sanctuary (Num. 3:11-13). They were       selected for this purpose because of their zeal for the glory of       God (Ex. 32:26), and because, as the tribe to which Moses and       Aaron belonged, they would naturally stand by the lawgiver in       his work.                The Levitical order consisted of all the descendants of Levi's       three sons, Gershon, Kohath, and Merari; whilst Aaron, Amram's       son (Amram, son of Kohat), and his issue constituted the       priestly order.                The age and qualification for Levitical service are specified       in Num. 4:3, 23, 30, 39, 43, 47.                They were not included among the armies of Israel (Num. 1:47;       2:33; 26:62), but were reckoned by themselves. They were the       special guardians of the tabernacle (Num. 1:51; 18:22-24). The       Gershonites pitched their tents on the west of the tabernacle       (3:23), the Kohathites on the south (3:29), the Merarites on the       north (3:35), and the priests on the east (3:38). It was their       duty to move the tent and carry the parts of the sacred       structure from place to place. They were given to Aaron and his       sons the priests to wait upon them and do work for them at the       sanctuary services (Num. 8:19; 18:2-6).                As being wholly consecrated to the service of the Lord, they       had no territorial possessions. Jehovah was their inheritance       (Num. 18:20; 26:62; Deut. 10:9; 18:1, 2), and for their support       it was ordained that they should receive from the other tribes       the tithes of the produce of the land. Forty-eight cities also       were assigned to them, thirteen of which were for the priests       "to dwell in", i.e., along with their other inhabitants. Along       with their dwellings they had "suburbs", i.e., "commons", for       their herds and flocks, and also fields and vineyards (Num.       35:2-5). Nine of these cities were in Judah, three in Naphtali,       and four in each of the other tribes (Josh. 21). Six of the       Levitical cities were set apart as "cities of refuge" (q.v.).       Thus the Levites were scattered among the tribes to keep alive       among them the knowledge and service of God. (See {PRIEST}.)
