the names of the sons of Levi according to their generations
on Exodus 6:16-19
Gershon, Kohath and Merari become the three carrying divisions of the tabernacle at Numbers 3 and Numbers 4, so this list is also the roster of who will move the tent. Ages are recorded for Levi at a hundred and thirty seven years and for Kohath at a hundred and thirty three, and for nobody else in the chapter except Amram. John Gill notes that the same figure for Levi appears in the ancient chronographer Demetrius, quoted through Alexander Polyhistor in Eusebius.
