Mahlites

ma'-lits (machli): Descendants of Mahli, son of Merari (Num 3:33; Num 26:58). These Mahlites appear to have followed the example of the daughters of Zelophehad, mutatis mutandis. (See MAHLAH; had the name become the description of a practice?) They married the daughters of their uncle Eleazar (1 Chr 23:21; 1 Chr 23:22).
