Numbers 3:14-18

New King James Version

Census of the Levites Commanded^(A)

¹⁴ Then the Lord spoke to Moses in the Wilderness of Sinai, saying: ¹⁵ “Number the children of Levi by their fathers’ houses, by their families; you shall number ^(B)every male from a month old and above.”

¹⁶ So Moses numbered them according to the ^[a]word of the Lord, as he was commanded. ^17 (C)These were the sons of Levi by their names: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari. ¹⁸ And these are the names of the sons of ^(D)Gershon by their families: ^(E)Libni and Shimei.
