1 Chronicles 23:6-13 ▼

6 Then David divided them into divisions according to Levi’s sons: Gershom, Kohath, and Merari.

7 The Gershonites: Ladan and Shimei.

8 Ladan’s sons: Jehiel was the first, then Zetham, and Joel  — three.

9 Shimei’s sons: Shelomoth, Haziel, and Haran  — three. Those were the heads of the families of Ladan.

10 Shimei’s sons: Jahath, Zizah, Jeush, and Beriah. Those were Shimei’s sons  — four.

11 Jahath was the first and Zizah was the second; however, Jeush and Beriah did not have many sons, so they became an ancestral house and received a single assignment.

12 Kohath’s sons: Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel  — four.

13 Amram’s sons: Aaron and Moses. Aaron, along with his descendants, was set apart forever to consecrate the most holy things , to burn incense in the presence of Yahweh, to minister to Him, and to pronounce blessings in His name forever .
