Ladan's sons: Jehiel was the first, then Zetham, and Joel-three. Shimei's sons: Shelomoth, Haziel, and Haran-three. Those were the heads of the families of Ladan. Shimei's sons: Jahath, Zizah, Jeush, and Beriah. Those were Shimei's sons-four. Jahath was the first and Zizah was the second; however, Jeush and Beriah did not have many sons, so they became an ancestral house [and received] a single assignment. Kohath's sons: Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel-four. Amram's sons: Aaron and Moses. Aaron, along with his descendants, was set apart forever to consecrate the most holy things, to burn incense in the presence of the Lord, to minister to Him, and to pronounce blessings in His name forever. As for Moses the man of God, his sons were named among the tribe of Levi. Moses' sons: Gershom and Eliezer. Gershom's sons: Shebuel first. Eliezer's sons were Rehabiah, first; Eliezer did not have any other sons, but Rehabiah's sons were very numerous. Izhar's sons: Shelomith was first. Hebron's sons: Jeriah was first, Amariah second, Jahaziel third, and Jekameam fourth. Uzziel's sons: Micah was first, and Isshiah second. Merari's sons: Mahli and Mushi. Mahli's sons: Eleazar and Kish. Eleazar died having no sons, only daughters. Their cousins, the sons of Kish, married them. Mushi's sons: Mahli, Eder, and Jeremoth-three.

Also, the Levites no longer need to carry the tabernacle or any of the equipment for its service"- for according to the last words of David, the Levites 20 years old or more were to be counted- "but their duty will be to assist the sons of Aaron with the service of the Lord's temple, being responsible for the courts and the chambers, the purification of all the holy things, and the work of the service of God's temple- as well as the rows [of the bread of the Presence], the fine flour for the grain offering, the wafers of unleavened bread, the baking, the mixing, and all measurements of volume and length.
