Numbers 3:18
16 So Moses numbered them according to the word of the LORD, as he had been commanded.
17 These were the sons of Levi by name: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.
These were the names of the sons of Gershon by their clans: Libni and Shimei.
19 The sons of Kohath by their clans were Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel.
20 And the sons of Merari by their clans were Mahli and Mushi. These were the clans of the Levites, according to their families.
This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
