1 Chronicles 23:12 In-Context

10 The sons of Shimei were Jahath, Ziza, Jeush and Beriah. The total number of the sons of Shimei was four.
11 Jahath was the first son. Ziza was the second son. But Jeush and Beriah didn't have many sons. So they were counted as one family. They had only one task.
12 The sons of Kohath were Amram, Izhar, Hebron and Uzziel. The total number of sons was four.
13 Aaron and Moses belonged to Amram's family line. Aaron and his family line were set apart forever as the LORD's priests. They had the duty of setting the most holy things apart to the Lord. They offered sacrifices to the Lord. They served him. They gave blessings in his name forever.
14 The sons of Moses, the man of God, were counted as part of the tribe of Levi
