5 “Simeon(A) and Levi(B) are brothers—
their swords[a] are weapons of violence.(C)
6 Let me not enter their council,
let me not join their assembly,(D)
for they have killed men in their anger(E)
and hamstrung(F) oxen as they pleased.
7 Cursed be their anger, so fierce,
and their fury,(G) so cruel!(H)
I will scatter them in Jacob
and disperse them in Israel.(I)

5 Simeon and Levi are brethren; instruments of cruelty are in their habitations.
6 O my soul, come not thou into their secret; unto their assembly, mine honour, be not thou united: for in their anger they slew a man, and in their selfwill they digged down a wall.
7 Cursed be their anger, for it was fierce; and their wrath, for it was cruel: I will divide them in Jacob, and scatter them in Israel.

New International Version
6 David separated(A) the Levites into divisions corresponding to the sons of Levi:(B) Gershon, Kohath and Merari.

7 Belonging to the Gershonites:(C)
Ladan and Shimei.
8 The sons of Ladan:
Jehiel the first, Zetham and Joel—three in all.
9 The sons of Shimei:
Shelomoth, Haziel and Haran—three in all.
These were the heads of the families of Ladan.
10 And the sons of Shimei:
Jahath, Ziza,[a] Jeush and Beriah.
These were the sons of Shimei—four in all.
11 Jahath was the first and Ziza the second, but Jeush and Beriah did not have many sons; so they were counted as one family with one assignment.
Kohathites
12 The sons of Kohath:(D)
Amram, Izhar, Hebron and Uzziel—four in all.
13 The sons of Amram:(E)
Aaron and Moses.
Aaron was set apart,(F) he and his descendants forever, to consecrate the most holy things, to offer sacrifices before the Lord, to minister(G) before him and to pronounce blessings(H) in his name forever. 14 The sons of Moses the man(I) of God were counted as part of the tribe of Levi.
15 The sons of Moses:
Gershom and Eliezer.(J)
16 The descendants of Gershom:(K)
Shubael was the first.
17 The descendants of Eliezer:
Rehabiah(L) was the first.
Eliezer had no other sons, but the sons of Rehabiah were very numerous.
18 The sons of Izhar:
Shelomith(M) was the first.
19 The sons of Hebron:(N)
Jeriah the first, Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third and Jekameam the fourth.

23 The sons of Mushi:
Mahli, Eder and Jerimoth—three in all.
24 These were the descendants of Levi by their families—the heads of families as they were registered under their names and counted individually, that is, the workers twenty years old or more(R) who served in the temple of the Lord.

11 And Jahath was the chief, and Zizah the second: but Jeush and Beriah had not many sons; therefore they were in one reckoning, according to their father's house.
12 The sons of Kohath; Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel, four.
13 The sons of Amram; Aaron and Moses: and Aaron was separated, that he should sanctify the most holy things, he and his sons for ever, to burn incense before the Lord, to minister unto him, and to bless in his name for ever.
14 Now concerning Moses the man of God, his sons were named of the tribe of Levi.
15 The sons of Moses were, Gershom, and Eliezer.

18 Of the sons of Izhar; Shelomith the chief.
19 Of the sons of Hebron; Jeriah the first, Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third, and Jekameam the fourth.
20 Of the sons of Uzziel; Micah the first and Jesiah the second.
21 The sons of Merari; Mahli, and Mushi. The sons of Mahli; Eleazar, and Kish.
22 And Eleazar died, and had no sons, but daughters: and their brethren the sons of Kish took them.
23 The sons of Mushi; Mahli, and Eder, and Jeremoth, three.
24 These were the sons of Levi after the house of their fathers; even the chief of the fathers, as they were counted by number of names by their polls, that did the work for the service of the house of the Lord, from the age of twenty years and upward.
