    The token is tagged Noun · Proper throughout the supplied evidence. In Exodus 6:16 the APB renders the name among Levi’s sons, while Exodus 6:19 names Mahli and Mushi as its sons; Numbers 3:36 assigns the sons of this line oversight of the tabernacle’s boards, bars, pillars, sockets, and articles. Joshua 21:34 and 1 Chronicles 15:6 show the same designation applied to families or descendants in city allocation and Levite organization.

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across the supplied verses, the APB usually presents the name in family expressions such as “sons of Merari” or “families of Merari,” and also lists it among Levi’s sons. These expressions show the verse-level presentation rather than a separate English definition for every token.
