God gives the land, and rest unto the Israelites, according to his promise The descendants of Merari The descendants of Merari were one of the three main divisions of the Levites, the others being the descendants of Kohath and Gershon. The Levites were set apart for the service of the Tabernacle, and later the Temple, and did not receive a territorial inheritance like the other tribes of Israel.
