These are the clans of the Levites according to their generations. ^20 (G)Amram took as his wife Jochebed his father's sister, and she bore him Aaron and Moses, the years of the life of Amram being 137 years. ^21 (H)The sons of Izhar: Korah, Nepheg, and Zichri. ²² The ^(I)sons of Uzziel: Mishael, Elzaphan, and Sithri. ²³ Aaron took as his wife Elisheba, the daughter of ^(J)Amminadab and the sister of ^(K)Nahshon, and she bore him ^(L)Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar. ²⁴ The ^(M)sons of Korah: Assir, Elkanah, and Abiasaph; these are the clans of the Korahites. ²⁵ Eleazar, Aaron's son, took as his wife one of the daughters of Putiel, and ^(N)she bore him Phinehas.

²⁶ These are the Aaron and Moses ^(O)to whom the Lord said: “Bring out the people of Israel from the land of Egypt ^(P)by their hosts.” ²⁷ It was they who spoke to Pharaoh king of Egypt about bringing out the people of Israel from Egypt, this Moses and this Aaron.

²⁸ On the day when the Lord spoke to Moses in the land of Egypt, ²⁹ the Lord said to Moses, ^(Q)“I am the Lord; ^(R)tell Pharaoh king of Egypt all that I say to you.” ³⁰ But Moses said to the Lord, “Behold, ^(S)I am of uncircumcised lips. How will Pharaoh listen to me?”
