From Merari came the clans of the Mahlites and Mushites

This site's exposition
was 6,200
John Gill notes that Merari's 6,200 is the smallest of the three houses. Numbers 4:44 counts 3,200 Merarites of serving age, more than Kohath's 2,750 or Gershon's 2,630. The smallest house had the most working men.
