Exodus 2:1 - 10
And there went a man of the house of Levi, and took to wife a daughter of Levi. .,.,.,.,. And she had compassion on him, and said, This is one of the Hebrews' children. .,.,.,.,,., And she called his name Moses: and she said, Because I drew him out of the water.
Exodus speaks for itself. Then we have this-----
And it came to pass in those days, when Moses was grown, that he went out to his brothers, and looked on their burdens: and he spied an Egyptian smiting an Hebrew, one of his brothers. And he looked this way and that way, and when he saw that there was no man, he slew the Egyptian, and hid him in the sand. And when he went out the second day, behold, two men of the Hebrews strove together: and he said to him that did the wrong, Why smite you your fellow?

According to the Torah, the tribe is named after
Levi, one of the twelve sons of Jacob (also called Israel).
Levi had three sons: Gershon,
Kohath, and Merari (Genesis 46:11). Kohath's son
Amram was the father of Miriam,
