14. The Lord also spoke unto Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, saying,
15. Number the sons of Levi by the houses of their fathers, by their families; thou shalt number every male from a month old and upward.
16. And Moses numbered them according to the word of the Lord, as he was commanded.
17. And these were the sons of Levi by their names: Gershon and Kohath and Merari.
18. And these are the names of the sons of Gershon by their families: Libni and Shimei.
19. And the sons of Kohath by their families: Amram, Izehar, Hebron, and Uzziel.
20. And the sons of Merari by their families: Mahli and Mushi. These are the families of the Levites according to the houses of their fathers.
21. Of Gershon was the family of Libni and the family of Shimei; these are the families of Gershon.
22. Those that were numbered of them, according to the number of all the males, from a month old and upward, those that were numbered of them were seven thousand five hundred.
23. The families of Gershon shall pitch behind the tabernacle to the west;
24. and the prince of the house of the father of the Gershonites, Eliasaph, son of Lael.
25. And the charge of the sons of Gershon in the tabernacle of the testimony shall be the tabernacle and the tent, the covering thereof, and the hanging for the door of the tabernacle of the testimony,
26. and the hangings of the court and the curtain for the door of the court, which is by the tabernacle and by the altar round about, and the cords of it for all the service thereof.
