The sons of Levi were Gershon[a], Kohath, and Merari.

The sons of Kohath were Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel.

The sons of Amram were Aaron, Moses, and Marie (The children of Amram were Aaron, Moses, and Miriam). The sons of Aaron were Nadab, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.

Eleazar begat Phinehas, and Phinehas begat Abishua,

Abishua begat Bukki, and Bukki begat Uzzi,

Uzzi begat Zerahiah, and Zerahiah begat Meraioth.

Forsooth Meraioth begat Amariah, Amariah begat Ahitub,

Ahitub begat Zadok, Zadok begat Ahimaaz,

Ahimaaz begat Azariah, Azariah begat Johanan,

10 Johanan begat Azariah; he it is that was set in priesthood, in the house that Solomon builded in Jerusalem. (Johanan begat Azariah; it was he who served as High Priest, in the House that Solomon built in Jerusalem.)

11 Forsooth Azariah begat Amariah, and Amariah begat Ahitub,

12 Ahitub begat Zadok, Zadok begat Shallum,

13 Shallum begat Hilkiah, Hilkiah begat Azariah,

14 Azariah begat Seraiah, Seraiah begat Jehozadak.

15 Forsooth Jehozadak went out, when the Lord translated Judah and Jerusalem, by the hands of Nebuchadnezzar the king. (And Jehozadak went into captivity, when the Lord carried away Judah and Jerusalem, by the hand, or the power, of King Nebuchadnezzar.)

16 Therefore the sons of Levi were Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.

17 And these were the names of the sons of Gershon; Libni, and Shimei.

18 The sons of Kohath were Amram, and Izhar, and Hebron, and Uzziel.
