⁵⁷This also is the number of the sons of Levi by their families: Gerson, of whom is the family of the Gersonites: Caath, of whom is the family of the Caathites: Merari, of whom is the family of the Merarites.

⁵⁸These are the families of Levi: The family of Lobni, the family of Hebroni, the family of Core. Now Caath begot Amram:

⁵⁹Who had to wife Jochabed the daughter of Levi, who was born to him in Egypt. She bore to her husband Amram sons, Aaron and Moses, and Mary their sister.

⁶⁰Of Aaron were born Nadab and Abiu, and Eleazar and Ithamar:

⁶¹Of whom Nadab and Abiu died, when they had offered the strange fire before the Lord.

⁶²And all that were numbered, were twenty-three thousand males from one month old and upward: for they were not reckoned up among the children of Israel, neither was a possession given to them with the rest.

⁶³This is the number of the children of Israel, that were enrolled by Moses and Eleazar the priest, in the plains of Moab upon the Jordan, over against Jericho.

⁶⁴Among whom there was not one of them that were numbered before by Moses and Aaron in the desert of Sinai.
