Exodus 6:17 and Numbers 3:18 name the sons of Gershon Libni and Shimei, and 1 Chronicles 6:17 names “the sons of Gershom: Libni and Shimei” (the Korean 게르손); 1 Chronicles 23:7 says, “Of the Gershonites: Ladan and Shimei.” Both editions write Ladan and Libni as two names (the Korean 라단 and 립니). The text does not say whether Ladan is Libni. This collection links the Shimei of 23:7 to Shimei (son of Gershon), records Ladan in the list of 23:6–11 without linking him to any entry, and does not decide whether Ladan and Libni are the same man.
