And these are the names of the children of Levi: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.

And the sons of Merari in their kindreds were Mahli and Mushi. These are the kindreds of Levi in the houses of their fathers.

And of Merari came the kindreds of the Mahlites and of the Mushites: and these are the kindreds of the Merarites.

And the office of the sons of Merari was the boards of the dwelling and the bars, pillars with the sockets thereof, and all the instruments thereof and all that served thereto:

"And thou shalt number the sons of Merari in their kindreds and in the houses of their fathers -

This is the service of the kindreds of the sons of Merari in all their service in the tabernacle of witness by the hand of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest."

And the kindreds of the sons of Merari were numbered in their kindreds and in the houses of their fathers,

This is the number of the kindreds of the sons of Merari, which Moses and Aaron numbered at the bidding of the LORD, by the hand of Moses.

And four chariots and eight oxen he gave unto the sons of Merari according unto their offices, under the hands of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest.

And the habitation was taken down: and the sons of Gershon and Merari went forth bearing the habitation.

These are the sums of the Levites in their kindreds: of Gershon, came the kindred of the Gershonites; and of Kohath came the kindred of the Kohathites; and of Merari came the kindred of the Merarites.
