Context of Exodus 6:24
22The sons of Uzziel were Mishael, Elzaphan, and Sithri. 23Aaron married Elisheba, daughter of Amminadab and sister of Nahshon. She gave birth to Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar. The sons of Korah were Assir, Elkanah, and Abiasaph. These were the families descended from Korah. 25Eleazar, son of Aaron, married one of the daughters of Putiel. She gave birth to Phinehas. These were the heads of Levite households listed by their families. 26This was the same Aaron and Moses to whom the Lord said, “Bring the Israelites out of Egypt in organized family groups.”
