Divisions by Levite Families

6

Then David divided the Levites into divisions according to the sons of Levi: Gershom, Kohath, and Merari.

7

The Gershonites: Ladan and Shimei.

8

The sons of Ladan: Jehiel the first, Zetham, and Joel—three in all.

9

The sons of Shimei: Shelomoth, Haziel, and Haran—three in all. These were the heads of the families of Ladan.

10

And the sons of Shimei: Jahath, Zina, Jeush, and Beriah. These were the sons of Shimei—four in all.

11

Jahath was the first and Zizah was the second; but Jeush and Beriah did not have many sons, so they were counted as one family and received a single assignment.

12

The sons of Kohath: Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel—four in all.

13

The sons of Amram: Aaron and Moses. Aaron and his descendants were set apart forever to consecrate the most holy things, to burn incense before the LORD, to minister before Him, and to pronounce blessings in His name forever.

14

As for Moses the man of God, his sons were named among the tribe of Levi.

15

The sons of Moses: Gershom and Eliezer.

16

The descendants of Gershom: Shebuel was the first.

17

The descendants of Eliezer: Rehabiah was the first. Eliezer did not have any other sons, but the sons of Rehabiah were very numerous.

18

The sons of Izhar: Shelomith was the first.

19

The sons of Hebron: Jeriah was the first, Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third, and Jekameam the fourth.

20

The sons of Uzziel: Micah was the first and Isshiah the second.

21

The sons of Merari: Mahli and Mushi.

22

The sons of Mahli: Eleazar and Kish. Eleazar died without having any sons; he had only daughters. Their cousins, the sons of Kish, married them.

23

The sons of Mushi: Mahli, Eder, and Jeremoth—three in all.
