Exodus 6:14-27
New American Standard Bible
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.

Genealogies of Moses and Aaron
14 These are the heads of their ancestors’ households: the sons of Reuben, the firstborn of Israel: Hanoch and Pallu; Hezron and Carmi.
These are the families of Reuben, including 15 Simeon’s sons Jemuel, Jamin, Ohad, Jachin, Zohar, and Shaul, the Canaanite woman’s son. These are the families of Simeon.
16 These are the names of Levi’s sons according to their genealogies: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari. Levi lived[a] 137 years. 17 Gershon’s sons were Libni and Shimei, according to their families. 18 Kohath’s descendants included Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel. Now Kohath lived for 133 years. 19 The sons of Merari were Mahli and Mushi. These are the families of the descendants of Levi, according to their genealogies.
20 Amram married Jochebed, his father’s sister, and she bore him Aaron and Moses. Amram lived for 137 years. 21 The sons of Izhar were Korah, Nepheg, and Zichri. 22 The sons of Uzziel were Mishael, Elzaphan, and Sithri.
23 Then Aaron married Elisheba daughter of Amminadab, sister of Nahshon. She bore him Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar. 24 The sons of Korah were Assir, Elkanah, and Abiasaph. These were the families of the descendants of Korah. 25 Aaron’s son Eleazar married one of Putiel’s daughters, and she bore him Phineas. These are the heads of the ancestors of the descendants of Levi, according to their families.
26 This is the same Aaron and Moses to whom the Lord said, “Bring the Israelis out of the land of Egypt by their tribal divisions.” 27 They were the ones speaking to Pharaoh, king of Egypt, to bring the Israelis out of Egypt; this is that same Moses and Aaron.
