ma´lı̄ts ( מחלת , maḥlı̄ ): Descendants of Mahli, son of Merari (  Numbers 3:33;  Numbers 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 Chronicles 23:21 ,  1 Chronicles 23:22 ).
