    “The Ancestry of the Deliverer These are the heads of their fathers’ households: The sons of Reuben, the firstborn son of Israel, were Hanoch and Pallu, Hezron and Carmi. These were the clans of Reuben. The sons of Simeon were Jemuel, Jamin, Ohad, Jakin, Zohar, and Shaul, the son of a Canaanite woman. These were the clans of Simeon. Now these are the names of the sons of Levi, according to their records: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.(The length of Levi’s life was 137 years.) The sons of Gershon, by their families, were Libni and Shimei. The sons of Kohath were Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel.(The length of Kohath’s life was 133 years.) The sons of Merari were Mahli and Mushi. These were the clans of Levi, according to their records. Amram married his father’s sister Jochebed, and she bore him Aaron and Moses.(The length of Amram’s life was 137 years.) The sons of Izhar were Korah, Nepheg, and Zikri. The sons of Uzziel were Mishael, Elzaphan, and Sithri. Aaron married Elisheba, the daughter of Amminadab and sister of Nahshon, and she bore him Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar. The sons of Korah were Assir, Elkanah, and Abiasaph. These were the Korahite clans. Now Eleazar son of Aaron married one of the daughters of Putiel and she bore him Phinehas.These are the heads of the fathers’ households of Levi according to their clans. It was the same Aaron and Moses to whom the LORD said,“Bring the Israelites out of the land of Egypt by their regiments.” They were the men who were speaking to Pharaoh king of Egypt, in order to bring the Israelites out of Egypt. It was the same Moses and Aaron. The Authentication of the Word When the LORD spoke to Moses in the land of Egypt, he said to him,“I am the LORD. Tell Pharaoh king of Egypt all that I am telling you.” But Moses said before the LORD,“Since I speak with difficulty, why should Pharaoh listen to me?””
