SEV Biblia, Chapter 3:24

y el príncipe de la casa del padre de los gersonitas, Eliasaf hijo de Lael.

John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 24. And the chief of the house of the fathers of the Gershonites , etc.] Who had the chief authority over them, and the chief direction of them in what they were to do: [shall be] Eliasaph the son of Lael ; but who he was, or of which family of the Gershonites, whether of the Libnites or Shimites, is not said here or elsewhere; nor do the Jewish writers, who affect to know every thing, pretend to tell us.

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 14-39 - The Levites were in three classes, according to the sons of Levi Gershon, Kohath, and Merari; and these were subdivided into families The posterity of Moses were not at all honoured or privileged, but stood upon the level with other Levites; thus it was plain, that Mose did not seek the advancement of his own family, or to secure an honours to it. The tribe of Levi was by much the least of all the tribes. God's chosen are but a little flock in comparison with the world.
