1 Chronicles 23:6-13

6Then David divided the Levites into divisions named after the clans descended from the three sons of Levi—Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.

7The Gershonite family units were defined by their lines of descent from Libni and Shimei, the sons of Gershon.

8Three of the descendants of Libni were Jehiel (the family leader), Zetham, and Joel.

9These were the leaders of the family of Libni. Three of the descendants of Shimei were Shelomoth, Haziel, and Haran.

10Four other descendants of Shimei were Jahath, Ziza, Jeush, and Beriah.

11Jahath was the family leader, and Ziza was next. Jeush and Beriah were counted as a single family because neither had many sons.

12Four of the descendants of Kohath were Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel.

13The sons of Amram were Aaron and Moses. Aaron and his descendants were set apart to dedicate the most holy things, to offer sacrifices in the Lord’s presence, to serve the Lord, and to pronounce blessings in his name forever.
