9. The sons of Shimei: Shelomoth, and Haziel, and Haran, three. These were the leaders of the families of Ladan.
10. Then the sons of Shimei: Jahath, and Zizah, and Jeush, and Beriah. These were the sons of Shimei, four.
11. Now Jahath was first, Zizah second, but Jeush and Beriah did not have many sons, and for this reason they were reckoned as one family and one house.
12. The sons of Kohath: Amram and Izhar, Hebron and Uzziel, four.
13. The sons of Amram: Aaron and Moses. Now Aaron was separated so that he might minister in the Holy of Holies, he and his sons forever, and so that he might burn incense to the Lord, according to his rite, and so that he might bless his name in perpetuity.
14. The sons of Moses, the man of God, were also numbered in the tribe of Levi.
15. The sons of Moses: Gershom and Eliezer.
16. The sons of Gershom: Shebuel the first.
17. Now the sons of Eliezer were Rehabiah the first. And there were no other sons for Eliezer. But the sons of Rehabiah were multiplied exceedingly.
18. The sons of Izhar: Shelomith the first.
19. The sons of Hebron: Jeriah the first, Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third, Jekameam the fourth.
20. The sons of Uzziel: Micah the first, Isshiah the second.
21. The sons of Merari: Mahli and Mushi. The sons of Mahli: Eleazar and Kish.
22. Then Eleazar died, and had no sons, but only daughters. And so the sons of Kish, their brothers, married them.
23. The sons of Mushi: Mahli, and Eder, and Jeremoth, three.
24. These are the sons of Levi, in their kindred and families, leaders in turns, and the number of each of the heads who were doing the works of the ministry of the house of the Lord, from twenty years of age and upward.
25. For David said: "The Lord, the God of Israel, has given rest to his people, and a habitation in Jerusalem even unto eternity.
26. Neither shall it be the office of the Levites any more to carry the tabernacle with all its equipment for use in the ministry."
