And by the good hand of our God upon us they brought us a man of understanding, of the sons of Mahli, the son of Levi, the son of Israel; and Sherebi´ah, with his sons and his brethren, eighteen;
And these are the names of the sons of Levi according to their generations; Gershon, and Kohath, and Mera´ri: and the years of the life of Levi were a hundred thirty and seven years.
And these are they that were numbered of the Levites after their families: of Gershon, the family of the Ger´shonites: of Kohath, the family of the Ko´hathites: of Mera´ri, the family of the Mera´rites.
