Numbers 26:57-62
Evangelical Heritage Version
57 Those who were registered from the Levites according to their clans were: from Gershon, the Gershonite clan; from Kohath, the Kohathite clan; from Merari, the Merarite clan. 58 These were the Levite clans: the Libnite clan, the Hebronite clan, the Mahlite clan, the Mushite clan, the Korahite clan.
(Kohath was the forefather[a] of Amram. 59 The name of Amram’s wife was Jochebed, a descendant of Levi, who was born to the Levites in Egypt. For Amram she bore Aaron, Moses, and their sister Miriam. 60 Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar were born to Aaron. 61 Nadab and Abihu died when they presented unauthorized fire before the Lord.)
62 Those who were registered totaled 23,000, every male a month old and up. But they were not registered with the other Israelites, because they were not given a possession[b] among the Israelites.

- Numbers 26:58 Literally father, but the time span from Gershon through Kohath to Amram, father of Moses, is over three hundred years. It is possible that this sentence belongs to the previous paragraph, and that it does in fact refer to an Amram, who is a son of Kohath, who is the ancestor of Moses’ father Amram. See Exodus 6:18-20.
- Numbers 26:62 That is, a tribal territory

Lexham English Bible
57 These are the ones counted of the Levites according to their clans: of Gershon, the clan of the Gershonites;[a] of Kohath, the clan of the Kohathites;[b] of Merari, the clan of the Merarites.[c] 58 These are the clans of Levi: the clan of the Libnites,[d] the clan of the Hebronites,[e] the clan of the Mahlites,[f] the clan of the Mushites,[g] the clan of the Korahites.[h] Kohath fathered Amram. 59 The name of the wife of Amram was Jochebed, the daughter of Levi, whose mother bore her for Levi in Egypt; she bore to Amram: Aaron and Moses and their sister Miriam. 60 To Aaron were born Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar. 61 But Nadab and Abihu died when they presented strange fire before[i] Yahweh. 62 The ones counted were twenty-three thousand, every male from a month old[j] and above, because they were not counted in the midst of the Israelites[k] since no inheritance was given to them in the midst of the Israelites.[l]
