9 They were all family leaders among their father's descendants. Shimei was the father of Shelomoth, Haziel, and Haran.
10-11 Later, Shimei had four more sons, in the following order: Jahath, Zina, Jeush, and Beriah. But Jeush and Beriah didn't have many children, so their descendants were counted as one family.
12 Kohath had four sons: Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel.
13 Amram was the father of Aaron and Moses. Aaron and his descendants were chosen to be in charge of all the sacred things. They served the Lord by offering sacrifices to him and by blessing the people in his name.
14-15 Moses, the man of God, was the father of Gershom and Eliezer, and their descendants were considered Levites.
16 Gershom's eldest son was Shebuel.
17 Rehabiah, who was Eliezer's only son, had many children.
