Numbers 26:57

GershonKohathMerari

55 Indeed, the land must be divided by lot; they shall receive their inheritance according to the names of the tribes of their fathers.

56 Each inheritance is to be divided by lot among the larger and smaller tribes.”

Now these were the Levites numbered by their clans: The Gershonite clan from Gershon, the Kohathite clan from Kohath, and the Merarite clan from Merari.

58 These were the families of the Levites: The Libnite clan, the Hebronite clan, the Mahlite clan, the Mushite clan, and the Korahite clan. Now Kohath was the father of Amram,

59 and Amram’s wife was named Jochebed. She was also a daughter of Levi, born to Levi in Egypt. To Amram she bore Aaron, Moses, and their sister Miriam.
