10The sons of Shimei: Jahath, Zina, Jeush, and Beriah. These were Shimei’s sons – four in all. 11Jahath was the oldest and Zizah the second oldest. Jeush and Beriah did not have many sons, so they were considered one family with one responsibility. The sons of Kohath: Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel – four in all. 13The sons of Amram: Aaron and Moses. Aaron and his descendants were chosen on a permanent basis to consecrate the most holy items, to offer sacrifices before the Lord, to serve him, and to praise his name. 14The descendants of Moses the man of God were considered Levites.
