1 Chronicles 23:6-13

6David made the Levites into three separate groups. Each group had descendants from one of Levi's sons: Gershon, Kohath and Merari.

7From Gershon's clan there were Ladan and Shimei.

8Ladan's three sons were: Jehiel, the firstborn, then Zetham and Joel.

9Shimei's three sons were: Shelomoth, Haziel and Haran. Those men were the leaders of Ladan's family.

10Shimei had four more sons: Jahath, Ziza, Jeush and Beriah.

11Jahath was the oldest son and Ziza was the second. But Jeush and Beriah did not have many sons. So the officers counted them together as one family.

12Kohath's four sons were: Amram, Izhar, Hebron and Uzziel.

13Amram's sons were Aaron and Moses. The Lord chose Aaron and his descendants for special work for all time. Their work was to offer special holy things to the Lord. They would offer sacrifices to the Lord. They would serve him in the temple. And they would use his name to bless the people.
