υἱοὶ Λευι Γεδσων Κααθ καὶ Μεραρι
The sons of Levi: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.
The chapter opens by naming Levi's three foundational branches. The terse nominative list establishes the hereditary architecture that governs everything that follows: priesthood, song, and settlement all arise from these lines.

καὶ ταῦτα τὰ ὀνόματα τῶν υἱῶν Γεδσων Λοβενι καὶ Σεμεϊ
And these are the names of the sons of Gershon: Libni and Shimei.
The register narrows from Levi as a whole to Gershon in particular. The formula 'these are the names' gives the line an archival, enumerative tone rather than a narrative one.

The sons of Kohath: Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel.
A second Levitical branch is set alongside Gershon. Kohath is especially important for what follows, since the priestly and musical lines will repeatedly trace themselves through him.

The sons of Merari: Mahli and Mushi. And these are the clans of Levi according to their families.
Merari completes the triad of Levitical houses. The closing remark about the 'clans of Levi' signals that these short lists are not casual name strings but the formal family framework of the tribe.

They were ministering with instruments before the tabernacle of the house of witness until Solomon built the house of the Lord in Jerusalem, and they stood according to their ordinance over their services.
The singers are portrayed as serving continuously from the tent shrine to Solomon's temple. The verse binds pre-temple and temple worship together, showing continuity rather than rupture in the cult.
