Theological / Devotional

Rest of the sons of Levi. Verses 20–31 give a second enumeration of the Levitical classes (see ch. 23:7–23). The object of this second listing may be to designate the heads of the families at a different time. The list begins with the Kohathites, but omits the Gershonites (see ch. 23:7–11).
