57 And these 'are' numbered ones of the Levite by their families: of Gershon 'is' the family of the Gershonite; of Kohath the family of the Kohathite; of Merari the family of the Merarite.
Levi was God's tribe; therefore it was not numbered with the rest, but alone. It came not under the sentence, that none of them should enter Canaan excepting Caleb and Joshua.
