In one reckoning. The Hebrew of the word here translated "reckoning" is hD; qup], i.e. "enumeration." The meaning is they were accounted as only one "father"s house." The derivative significations of the word are "care," "custody," and generally "office". (2Ch_23:18) The total of Gershonite houses will amount to nine, three of these being houses of Shimei, and six of Landau.
