Person in Scripture

Gershon

Gershon is named with Kohath and Merari among Levi's sons. Exodus lists his sons as Libni and Shimi; Numbers uses the form Shimei and identifies the Libnite and Shimite families as Gershonites. His own record is brief. The detailed accounts of Gershonite camp positions, work and later settlements concern the families bearing his name.
