1 The first-born son of Moses and Zipporah. ( Exodus 2:22 ; 18:3 ) (B.C. 1530.)  The form under which the name GERSHON--the eldest son of Levi--is given in several passages of Chronicles, viz., ( 1 Chronicles 6:16 1 Chronicles 6:17 1 Chronicles 6:20 1 Chronicles 6:43 1 Chronicles 6:62 1 Chronicles 6:71 ; 15:7 )
Every year, around 40,000 Americans experience sudden facial paralysis due to Bellâs palsy. This condition causes inflammation of the facial nerve, which commonly causes the muscles on one side of the face to droop. No one knows exactly why Bellâs palsy occurs.
When there is a problem with this pathway, facial paralysis is the result. Two of the more common causes of facial paralysis are outlined below. Congenital Facial Paralysis. Congenital facial paralysis can occur on one side of the face (unilateral facial paralysis) or both sides of the face (bilateral facial paralysis) (see Figure A). Unilateral facial paralysis can be related to conditions such as hemifacial microsomia, in which one half of the face does not develop as fully as the other, sometimes producing less facial motion on the affected side.
