Gershon (1 Chronicles 6:20–21)
Kohath (1 Chronicles 6:22–24)
Merari (1 Chronicles 6:29–30)
This section gives the family histories of the three main groups of the tribe of Levi:
The high priests (1 Chronicles 6:1–15)
The three clans of Levites (1 Chronicles 6:16–30)
The singers (1 Chronicles 6:31–47)
Each family history starts with an introduction and then lists the names.
