And these [are] the names of the sons of Gershon, by
their
families
Or to Gershon belonged two families, called after the names of
his sons, who were now numbered, namely, Libni and
Shimei;
and who are elsewhere mentioned as his sons, ( Exodus 6:17 ) ; and
from hence were the families of the Libnites and Shimites, as in
( Numbers
3:21 ) .
