Gershon:

=Ger'shom expulsion, the eldest of Levi's three sons (Gen 46:11; Exd 6:16).

In the wilderness the sons of Gershon had charge of the fabrics of the tabernacle when it was moved from place to place, the curtains, veils, tent-hangings (Num 3:21-26). Thirteen Levitical cities fell to the lot of the Gershonites (Jos 21:27-33).

(exile.) The eldest of the three sons of Levi, born before the descent of Jacob's family into Egypt (Genesis 46:11; Exodus 6:16).
