The families of the Levites are here numbered by themselves, because they were not to have a distinct share of the land, whence it is that they are not so distinctly and exactly mentioned as the other tribes, but confusedly and imperfectly, some of them being wholly omitted here. See Exo 6:17-19.

58. It is not here stated to which of the three families of Num_26:57 these five branches of the Levites belonged. (This is done in Exo_6:16-21. Libnites belonged to Gershon; Hebronites and Korahites to Kohath; Mahlites and Mushites to Merari.) The verse appears to be separate from Num_26:57, and to be derived from a different source.

These are the families of the Levites. The three Levitical sub-tribes have been named in the preceding verse, and the present enumeration of families is an independent one. The Libnites were Gershonites, (Num_3:21) the Hebronites and Korathites (or Korahites) were Kohathites, (Num_3:19 Num_16:1) the Mahlites and Mushites were Merarites. (Num_3:33) Two other families, the Shimites (Num_3:21) and the Uzzielites, (Num_3:27 1Ch_26:23, and cf. Exo_6:22 1Ch_24:24, 1Ch_24:25) are omitted here, perhaps because the list is imperfect (see, however, the note on verse 62).
