1 Chronicles 23:12 In-Context

10 Shimei's sons: Jahath, Zizah, Jeush, and Beriah. Those were Shimei's sons-four.
11 Jahath was the first and Zizah was the second; however, Jeush and Beriah did not have many sons, so they became an ancestral house [and received] a single assignment.
12 Kohath's sons: Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel-four.
13 Amram's sons: Aaron and Moses. Aaron, along with his descendants, was set apart forever to consecrate the most holy things, to burn incense in the presence of the Lord, to minister to Him, and to pronounce blessings in His name forever.
14 As for Moses the man of God, his sons were named among the tribe of Levi.
