10. And the Bnei Shimei were Yachat, Zina, and Yeush, and Beriah. These four were the Bnei Shimei.

11. And Yachat was rosh, and Zizah the second; but Yeush and Beriah had not many banim; therefore they were in pekudah echad (one reckoning), according to their bais av.

12. The Bnei Kehat; Amram, Yitzhar, Chevron, and Uzziel, four.

13. The Bnei Amram; Aharon and Moshe; Aharon was separated, to set him apart as Kodesh Kodashim, he and his banim ad olam, to burn offerings before Hashem, to minister unto Him, and to bless b'Shmo ad olam.

14. Now concerning Moshe the Ish HaElohim, his banim were reckoned of the Shevet Levi.

15. The Bnei Moshe were Gershom, and Eliezer.

16. Of the Bnei Gershom, Shevuel was the rosh.

17. And the Bnei Eliezer were Rechavyah the rosh. And Eliezer had no banim acharim; but the Bnei Rechavyah were very many.

18. Of the Bnei Yitzhar: Shlomit the rosh.

19. Of the Bnei Chevron: Yeriyahu the first, Amaryah the seond, Yachziel the third, and Yekam'am the fourth.

20. Of the Bnei Uzziel: Michah the first and Yishiyah the second.

21. The Bnei Merari: Machli, and Mushi. The Bnei Machli; Eleazar, and Kish.

23. The Bnei Mushi; Machli, and Eder, and Yeremot, three.

24. These were the Bnei Levi after the bais avoteihem; even the rashei avot, as they were counted by number of shmot by their head count, that did the work for the avodas Beis Hashem, from the age of twenty shanah and upward.
