The verses around it, from 1 Chronicles 23.
21 The sons of Merari: Mahli and Mushi. The sons of Mahli: Eleazar and Kish.

29 as well as for the rows of the showbread, the fine flour for the grain offering, the wafers of unleavened bread, the baking, the mixing, and all measurements of quantity and size.
