These, are they - the families of the Levites by their ancestral houses. 21 To, Gershon, belonged the family of the Libnites, and the family of the Shimeites, - these, are they - the families of the Gershonites. 22 They who were numbered of them in the counting of every male, from one month old, and upwards, - they who were num-bered of them, were seven thousand and five hundred. 23 the families of the Gershonites, to the rear of the habitation, were to encamp, westward.
