(white)

1. The eldest son of Gershon the son of Levi (Exodus 6:17; Numbers 3:18; 1 Chronicles 6:17, 20) and ancestor of the family of the Libnites.
2. The son of Mahli or Mahali, son of Merari (1 Chronicles 6:29), as the text at present stands. It is probable, however, that he is the same with the preceding, and that something has been omitted (comp. 1 Chronicles 6:29 with 1 Chronicles 6:20, 42).
