⁷ Of the Gershonites were, Laadan, Laadan: or, Libni and Shimei. ⁸ The sons of Laadan; the chief was Jehiel, and Zetham, and Joel, three. ⁹ The sons of Shimei; Shelomith, and Haziel, and Haran, three. These were the chief of the fathers of Laadan. ¹⁰ And the sons of Shimei were, Jahath, Zina, Zina: or, Zizah and Jeush, and Beriah. These four were the sons of Shimei. ¹¹ And Jahath was the chief, and Zizah the second: but Jeush and Beriah had not many sons; therefore they were in one reckoning, according to their father's house.

English Standard Version

⁷ The sons of GershonVulgate (compare Septuagint, Syriac); Hebrew to the Gershonite were Ladan and Shimei. ⁸ The sons of Ladan: Jehiel the chief, and Zetham, and Joel, three. ⁹ The sons of Shimei: Shelomoth, Haziel, and Haran, three. These were the heads of the fathers' houses of Ladan. ¹⁰ And the sons of Shimei: Jahath, Zina, and Jeush and Beriah. These four were the sons of Shimei. ¹¹ Jahath was the chief, and Zizah the second; but Jeush and Beriah did not have many sons, therefore they became counted as a single father's house.

The Message

⁷ The Gershonites: Ladan and Shimei. ⁸ The three sons of Ladan: Jehiel, Zetham, and Joel. ⁹ The three sons of Shimei: Shelomoth, Haziel, and Haran, all heads of the families of Ladan. ¹⁰ The four sons of Shimei: Jahath, Ziza, Jeush, and Beriah. ¹¹ Jahath came first, followed by Ziza. Jeush and Beriah did not have many sons so they were counted as one family with one task.

New King James Version

⁷ Of the Gershonites: Laadan and Shimei. ⁸ The sons of Laadan: the first Jehiel, then Zetham and Joel--three in all. ⁹ The sons of Shimei: Shelomith, Haziel, and Haran--three in all. These were the heads of the fathers' houses of Laadan. ¹⁰ And the sons of Shimei: Jahath, Zina, Jeush, and Beriah. These were the four sons of Shimei. ¹¹ Jahath was the first and Zizah the second. But Jeush and Beriah did not have many sons; therefore they were assigned as one father's house.

New Living Translation

⁷ The Gershonite family units were defined by their lines of descent from Libni and Shimei, the sons of Gershon. ⁸ Three of the descendants of Libni were Jehiel (the family leader), Zetham, and Joel. ⁹ These were the leaders of the family of Libni. Three of the descendants of Shimei were Shelomoth, Haziel, and Haran. ¹⁰ Four other descendants of Shimei were Jahath, Ziza, Jeush, and Beriah. ¹¹ Jahath was the family leader, and Ziza was next. Jeush and Beriah were counted as a single family because neither had many sons.
