Aaron, and Moses, and Miriam, we have known much more of than their names, and cannot pass them over here without remembering that this was that Moses and Aaron whom God honoured in making them instruments of Israel's deliverance and settlement and figures of him that was to come, Moses as a prophet and Aaron as a priest.

This site's exposition

Gershon, Kohath, and Merari

on 1 Chronicles 6:1-3

Levi's three sons open a line that will split three ways: the kingdom to Judah, the birthright to Joseph, and the priesthood to Levi, a division Gill draws directly from these opening verses. Amram's children stand together as three names, Aaron, Moses, and Miriam, the only place in the chapter where a woman is named among the sons. Aaron's four sons follow, and only two of them, Eleazar and Ithamar, carry forward the line the rest of the chapter will trace.
