ma´lı̄ts ( מחלת , maḥlı̄ ): Descendants of Mahli, son of Merari ( Numbers 3:33; Numbers 26:58 ). These Mahlites appear to have followed the example of the daughters of Zelophehad, mutatis mutandis . (See MAHLAH; had the name become the description of a practice?) They married the daughters of their uncle Eleazar (1 Chronicles 23:21 , 1 Chronicles 23:22 ).
