1 Chronicles 23:12 In-Context

10 Shimei had four sons: Jahath, Ziza, Jeush, and Beriah.

11 Jahath was the first son, and Ziza was the second son. But Jeush and Beriah did not have many children, so they were counted as if they were one family.

12 Kohath had four sons: Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel.

13 Amram's sons were Aaron and Moses. Aaron and his descendants were chosen to be special forever. They were chosen to prepare the holy things for the Lord's service, to offer sacrifices before the Lord, and to serve him as priests. They were to give blessings in his name forever.

14 Moses was the man of God, and his sons were counted as part of the tribe of Levi
