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]
