Context of 1 Chronicles 23:12

10Shimei’s sons: Jahath, Zizah, Jeush, and Beriah. Those were Shimei’s sons — four. 11Jahath was the first and Zizah was the second; however, Jeush and Beriah did not have many sons, so they became one family and received a single assignment. Kohath’s sons: Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel — four. 13Amram’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 the Lord, to minister to him, and to pronounce blessings in his name forever. 14As for Moses the man of God, his sons were named among the tribe of Levi.
