Leaders of the Family Clans
Commentators explain that this verse clarifies the leadership structure within the Levitical family of Laadan. The names listed—Shelomoth, Haziel, and Haran—were the heads of their respective family clans, or 'father-houses.' Scholars also note that the 'Shimei' mentioned is a descendant of Laadan, not the more famous son of Gershon, preventing potential confusion for readers.
