New American Standard Bible

The Heads of Israel

¹⁴ These are the heads of their fathers’ households. ^(A)The sons of Reuben, Israel’s firstborn: Hanoch and Pallu, Hezron and Carmi; these are the families of Reuben. ¹⁵ And the ^(B)sons of Simeon: ^[a]Jemuel, Jamin, Ohad, Jachin, Zohar, and Shaul the son of a Canaanite woman; these are the families of Simeon. ¹⁶ And these are the names of ^(C)the sons of Levi according to their generations: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari; and the ^[b]length of Levi’s life was 137 years. ^17 (D)The sons of Gershon: ^[c]Libni and Shimei, according to their families. ¹⁸ And ^(E)the sons of Kohath: Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel; and the ^[d]length of Kohath’s life was 133 years. ¹⁹ And ^(F)the sons of Merari: Mahli and Mushi. These are the families of the Levites according to their generations. ²⁰ Now ^(G)Amram ^[e]married his father’s sister Jochebed, and she bore him Aaron and Moses; and the ^[f]length of Amram’s life was 137 years. ²¹ And ^(H)the sons of Izhar: Korah, Nepheg, and Zichri. ²² And ^(I)the sons of Uzziel: Mishael, ^[g]Elzaphan, and Sithri. ²³ Aaron ^[h]married Elisheba, the daughter of ^(J)Amminadab, the sister of ^(K)Nahshon, and she bore him ^(L)Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar. ²⁴ And the ^(M)sons of Korah: Assir, Elkanah, and ^[i]Abiasaph; these are the families of the Korahites. ²⁵ Now Aaron’s son ^(N)Eleazar ^[j]married one of the daughters of Putiel, and she bore him ^(O)Phinehas. These are the heads of the fathers’ households of the Levites according to their families. ²⁶ It was the same Aaron and Moses to whom the Lord said, “^(P)Bring out the sons of Israel from the land of Egypt according to their ^[k](Q)multitudes.” ²⁷ They were the ones ^(R)who spoke to Pharaoh king of Egypt ^[l]about bringing out the sons of Israel from Egypt; it was the same Moses and Aaron.
