Numbers 3:20
"And the sons of Merari by their families; Mahli, and Mushi. These are the families of the Levites according to the house of their fathers."

Commentary

Gill's Exposition

And the sons, of Merari, by their families,.... The third son of Levi: Mahli and Mushi; the same as in Exo 6:19 ; from whom were denominated the families of

the Mahlites and Mushites, who, as the preceding families, were numbered at this time: these are the families of the Levites, according to the house of their fathers; in all eight families.
