SEV Biblia, Chapter 6:1
¶ Los hijos de Leví: Gersón, Coat, y Merari.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - 1 Chronicles 6:1
Verse 1. The sons of Levi] It has been well remarked that the genealogy of Levi is given here more ample and correct than that of any of the others. And this is perhaps an additional proof that the author was a priest, felt much for the priesthood, and took care to give the genealogy of the Levitical and sacerdotal families, from the most correct tables; for with such tables we may presume he was intimately acquainted.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 1. The sons of Levi , etc.] After an account of the chief of the tribes of Judah and Simeon, of Reuben, Gad, and the half tribe of Manasseh, follows that of Levi, and his posterity; the kingdom being given to Judah, the birthright to Joseph, and the priesthood to Levi: the immediate sons of Levi were Gershon, Kohath, and Merari ; as in ( Genesis 46:11 Exodus 6:16), from these sprung the three families of the Levites.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Genealogies.
--We have an account of Levi in this chapter. The priests and Levite were more concerned than any other Israelites, to preserve their descent clear, and to be able to prove it; because all the honours an privileges of their office depended upon their descent. Now, the Spiri of God calls ministers to their work, without any limit as to the families they came from; and then, as now, though believers an ministers may be very useful to the church, none but our great Hig Priest can make atonement for sin, nor can any be accepted but throug his atonement __________________________________________________________________
