Numbers 1:47

47: But this total did not include the Levites.

This is the census record for the Levites who were counted according to their clans: The Gershonite clan, named after its ancestor Gershon. The Kohathite clan, named after its ancestor Kohath. The Merarite clan, named after its ancestor Merari.
The Libnites, the Hebronites, the Mahlites, the Mushites, and the Korahites were all subclans of the Levites. Now Kohath was the ancestor of Amram,
and Amram's wife was named Jochebed. She also was a descendant of Levi, born among the Levites in the land of Egypt. Amram and Jochebed became the parents of Aaron, Moses, and their sister, Miriam.
To Aaron were born Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
But Nadab and Abihu died when they burned before the LORD a different kind of fire than he had commanded.

The sons of Levi were Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.
The descendants of Kohath included Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel.
The children of Amram were Aaron, Moses, and Miriam. The sons of Aaron were Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
Eleazar was the father of Phinehas. Phinehas was the father of Abishua.
Abishua was the father of Bukki. Bukki was the father of Uzzi.

This is the family line of Aaron and Moses as it was recorded when the LORD spoke to Moses on Mount Sinai:
Aaron's sons were Nadab (the firstborn), Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
They were anointed and set apart to minister as priests.
But Nadab and Abihu died in the LORD's presence in the wilderness of Sinai when they burned before the LORD a different kind of fire than he had commanded. Since they had no sons, this left only Eleazar and Ithamar to serve as priests with their father, Aaron.
Then the LORD said to Moses,

The LORD said to Moses,
"Tell Aaron that when he sets up the seven lamps in the lampstand, he is to place them so their light shines forward."
So Aaron did this. He set up the seven lamps so they reflected their light forward, just as the LORD had commanded Moses.
The entire lampstand, from its base to its decorative blossoms, was made of beaten gold. It was built according to the exact design the LORD had shown Moses.
Then the LORD said to Moses,

But Joab did not include the tribes of Levi and Benjamin in the census because he was so distressed at what the king had made him do.
