^(C1)These are those who were numbered of the Levites according to their families: of Gershon, the family of the Gershonites; of Kohath, the family of the Kohathites; of Merari, the family of the Merarites.

These are the families of Levi: the family of the Libnites, the family of the Hebronites, the family of the Mahlites, the family of the Mushites, and the family of the Korahites. ^(C1)Kohath fathered Amram.

And the name of Amram's wife ^(C1)was Jochebed, the daughter of Levi, who was born to Levi in Egypt; and she bore to Amram Aaron and Moses, and their sister Miriam.

^(C1)And to Aaron were born Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar.

^(C1)But Nadab and Abihu died when they offered ^(F1)strange fire before the LORD.

Those who were numbered of them were ^(C1)twenty-three thousand, every male from a month old and upward, for ^(C2)they were not numbered among the sons of Israel ^(C3)since no inheritance was given to them among the sons of Israel.

These are the ones who were numbered by Moses and Eleazar the priest, who numbered the sons of Israel in the plains of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho.

^(C1)But among these there was not a man of those who were numbered by Moses and Aaron the priest, who numbered the sons of Israel in the wilderness of Sinai.
