Context of 1 Chronicles 23:12

10Shimei’s sons were Jahath, Zina, Jeush, and Beriah. They were Shimei’s four sons. 11Jahath was the first, and Ziza was the second. Jeush and Beriah didn’t have many sons, so they were given an assignment as one family. Kohath had four sons: Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel. 13Amram’s sons were Aaron and Moses. Aaron and his sons were forever designated to dedicate the most holy things ⌞to God⌟, to offer sacrifices to the Lord, to serve him, and always give the blessing in his name. 14The sons of Moses, the man of God, were counted with the tribe of Levi.
