SEV Biblia, Chapter 3:35

Y el príncipe de la casa del padre de las familias de Merari, Zuriel hijo de Abihail; acamparán al lado del tabernáculo, al aquilón.

John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 35. And the chief of the house of the father of the families of Merari , etc.] I think it should rather be rendered, “and the chief of the house”, that is, of the Merarites, “the father to the families of Merari”; the common father to them all, having the chief authority and power over them, and so in ( Numbers 3:24,30); [shall be] Zuriel the son of Abihail ; of whom we read nowhere else, nor is it certain of which family he was, whether of the Mahlites or Mushites: [these] shall pitch on the side of the tabernacle northward ; to the left of it, between that and the camp of Dan.

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.
