^(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.
