New Testament

1 Chronicles 23:6-14 Common English Bible (CEB)

6. Then David divided them into three groups named after Levi’s family members: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.

7. The Gershonites included Ladan and Shimei.

8. Ladan’s family: Jehiel the first, Zetham, and Joel—three in all.

9. Jehiel’s family: Shelomith, Haziel, and Haran—three in all. These were the heads of the households of Ladan.

10. Shimei’s family: Jahath, Ziza, Jeush, and Beriah. These four were Shimei’s family:

11. Jahath was the first, and Ziza the second; since Jeush and Beriah didn’t have many children, they became a single household.

12. Kohath’s family: Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel—four in all.

13. Amram’s family: Aaron and Moses. Aaron, together with his sons, was set apart to make the holiest objects holy, to make offerings before the Lord, to serve him, and to give blessings in his name forever.

14. As for Moses the man of God, his sons were considered to be Levites.
