Numbers 3:17-26

Christian Standard Bible

¹⁷ These were Levi’s sons by name: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari. ¹⁸ These were the names of Gershon’s sons by their clans: Libni and Shimei. ¹⁹ Kohath’s sons by their clans were Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel. ²⁰ Merari’s sons by their clans were Mahli and Mushi. These were the Levite clans by their ancestral families.^(A)

²¹ The Libnite clan and the Shimeite clan came from Gershon; these were the Gershonite clans. ²² Those registered, counting every male one month old or more, numbered 7,500. ²³ The Gershonite clans camped behind the tabernacle on the west side,^{(B) 24} and the leader of the Gershonite families^[a] was Eliasaph son of Lael. ²⁵ The Gershonites’ duties^(C) at the tent of meeting involved the tabernacle, the tent, its covering, the screen for the entrance to the tent of meeting,^{(D) 26} the hangings of the courtyard, the screen for the entrance^(E) to the courtyard that surrounds the tabernacle and the altar, and the tent ropes—all the work relating to these.
