Divisions by Levite Families

6

David organized them into divisions named after the sons of Levi - Gershon, K'hat and M'rari.

7

For the Gershuni: La'dan and Shim'i.

8

The sons of La'dan: Yechi'el the chief, Zetam and Yo'el - three.

9

The sons of Shim'i: Shlomit, Hazi'el and Haran - three. These were the heads of the clans of La'dan.

10

The sons of Shim'i: Yachat, Zina Ye'ush and B'ri'ah. These four were the sons of Shim'i.

11

Yachat was the chief and Zizah the second, then Ye'ush and B'ri'ah, who did not have many descendants and were therefore counted as one clan.

12

The sons of K'hat: 'Amram, Yitz'har, Hevron and 'Uzi'el - four.

13

The sons of 'Amram: Aharon and Moshe. Aharon was set apart to be consecrated as especially holy, he and his sons forever; so that they might bring offerings before ADONAI, perform the service for him and bless in his name forever.

14

But as for Moshe the man of God, his sons are included with the tribe of Levi

15

The sons of Moshe: Gershom and Eli'ezer.

16

The sons of Gershom: Sh'vu'el the chief.

17

The sons of Eli'ezer were: Rechavyah the chief. Eli'ezer had no other sons, but the sons of Rechavyah were very numerous.

18

The sons of Yitz'har: Shlomit the chief.

19

The sons of Hevron: Yeriyahu the chief, Amaryah the second, Yachzi'el the third and Y'kam'am the fourth

20

The sons of 'Uzi'el: Mikhah the chief and Yishiyah the second.

21

The sons of M'rari: Machli and Mushi. The sons of Machli: El'azar and Kish

22

El'azar died without having sons, but daughters only; their cousins, the sons of Kish, married them.

23

Mushi had three sons - Machli, 'Eder and Yeremot.
