20The sons of Uzziel: Micah the first and Ishiah the second. 21The sons of Merari: Mahli and Mushi. The sons of Mahli: Eleazar and Kish. Eleazar died without having sons: he had only daughters. Their cousins, the sons of Kish, married them. 23The sons of Mushi: Mahli, Eder and Jerimoth—three in all. 24These were the descendants of Levi by their families—the heads of families as they were registered under their names and counted individually, that is, the workers twenty years old or more who served in the temple of the Lord.
