Genealogies of Reuben, Simeon and Levi, of whom came Moses and Aaron 26. The history resumed These were the heads of their fathers’ houses This phrase introduces a genealogical record, emphasizing the importance of family lineage in Israelite society. The term "heads" refers to leaders or chiefs, indicating a patriarchal structure where family heads held authority and responsibility.
