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.
