23:2 The Levite families and their assignments

Full kingdom

2 Then David gathered all the Israeli officials and the priests and Levites. 3 Counting the Levite males that were thirty years old and older, they found there were thirty-eight thousand men. 4 David assigned twenty-four thousand of them to supervise the work at Yahweh’s residence, six thousand to be officials and judges, 5 four thousand to be gatekeepers, and four thousand to praise Yahweh using the musical instruments that he’d provided.

6 So David divided the Levites into divisions according to their ancestry through Levi’s sons Gereshon, Kohat, and Merari.

2 And_he_gathered DOM all_of the_leaders_of Yisrā^ʼēl/(Israel) and_the_priests and_the_Lēviyyiy.

3 And_ the_Lēviyyiy _they_were_counted from_a_son_of thirty year[s] and_upwards and_he/it_was number_of_their to_heads_of_their to_men thirty and_eight thousand.

4 From_these are_to_act_as_overseers over the_work_of the_house_of YHWH twenty and_four thousand and_will_be_officials and_judges six_of thousand(s).

5 And_four_of thousand(s) will_be_gatekeepers and_four_of thousand(s) will_be_praising to/for_YHWH with_instruments which I_made to_praise.

6 And_he_divided_them Dāvid divisions (to)_the_sons_of Lēvī to_Gērəshōn Qəhāt and_Mərārī.
