New American Standard Bible
Chapter 3
14Then the Lord spoke to Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, saying, 15Count the sons of Levi by their fathers’ households, by their families; every male from a month old and upward you shall count.' 16So Moses counted them according to the word of the Lord, just as he had been commanded. 17These, then, are the sons of Levi by their names: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari. 18And these are the names of the sons of Gershon by their families: Libni and Shimei; 19and the sons of Kohath by their families: Amram and Izhar, Hebron and Uzziel; 20and the sons of Merari by their families: Mahli and Mushi. These are the families of the Levites according to their fathers’ households.
21Of Gershon was the family of the Libnites and the family of the Shimeites; these were the families of the Gershonites.
22Their numbered men, in the counting of every male from a month old and upward, their numbered men were 7,500.
23The families of the Gershonites were to camp behind the tabernacle westward,
24and the leader of the fathers’ households of the Gershonites: Eliasaph the son of Lael.

14The Lord spoke to Moses in the Wilderness of Sinai: 15"Register the Levites by their ancestral families and their clans. You are to register every male one month old or more." 16So Moses registered them in obedience to the Lord as he had been commanded:
17These were Levi's sons by name: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.
18These were the names of Gershon's sons by their clans: Libni and Shimei.
19Kohath's sons by their clans were Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel.
20Merari's sons by their clans were Mahli and Mushi. These were the Levite clans by their ancestral families.
21The Libnite clan and the Shimeite clan came from Gershon; these were the Gershonite clans.
22Those registered, counting every male one month old or more, numbered 7,500.
23The Gershonite clans camped behind the tabernacle on the west side,
24and the leader of the Gershonite families was Eliasaph son of Lael.
