14. Then the Lord spoke to Moses in the Wilderness of Sinai, saying:
15. “Number the children of Levi by their fathers’ houses, by their families; you shall number every male from a month old and above.”
16. So Moses numbered them according to the word of the Lord, as he was commanded.
17. These were the sons of Levi by their names: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.
18. And these are the names of the sons of Gershon by their families: Libni and Shimei.
19. And the sons of Kohath by their families: Amram, Izehar, Hebron, and Uzziel.
20. And the sons of Merari by their families: Mahli and Mushi. These are the families of the Levites by their fathers’ houses.
21. From Gershon came the family of the Libnites and the family of the Shimites; these were the families of the Gershonites.
22. Those who were numbered, according to the number of all the males from a month old and above—of those who were numbered there were seven thousand five hundred.
23. The families of the Gershonites were to camp behind the tabernacle westward.
