23 And David was old, and he was full of days, and he made Solomon his son reign over Israel. 2 And he gathered all of the rulers of Israel and the priests and the Levites. 3 And the Levites were counted from sons of 30 years and above, and the counting was by their skulls, by males, 38,000. 4 “From these, to lead over the work of the house of Yahweh, 24,000, and officers and judges, 6,000, 5 and 4,000 gatekeepers and 4,000 praisers of Yahweh with the instruments that I made for praising.” 6 And David divided them into divisions according to the sons of Levi: of Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.

7 Of the Gershonite: Ladan and Shimei. 8 The sons of Ladan: Jehiel, the head, and Zetham and Joel—three. 9 The sons of Shimei: Shelomoth and Haziel and Haran—three. These were the heads of the fathers of Ladan. 10 And the sons of Shimei: Jahath and Zina and Jeush,and Beriah. These were the sons of Shimei—four. 11 And Jahath was the head, and Zizah, the second, but Jeush and Beriah did not have many sons, so they became a house of a father by one assignment.

12 The sons of Kohath: Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel—four. 13 The sons of Amram: Aaron and Moses. And Aaron was separated for him to consecrate the holy of holies, he and his sons to forever, to sacrifice to the face of Yahweh, to minister to him, and to bless his name to forever. 14 And Moses, the man of God, his sons were called according to the tribe of Levi. 15 The sons of Moses: Gershom and Eliezer. 16 The sons of Gershom: Shebuel, the head. 17 And the sons of Eliezer were Rehabiah, the head. And other sons were not to Eliezer, but the sons of Rehabiah were many, to above. 18 The sons of Izhar: Shelomith, the head. 19 The sons of Hebron: Jeriah, the head; Amariah, the second; Jahaziel, the third; and Jekameam, the fourth. 20 The sons of Uzziel: Micah, the head, and Isshiah, the second. 21 The sons of Merari: Mahli and Mushi. The sons of Mahli: Eleazar and Kish. 22 And Eleazar died and sons were not to him, but only daughters. And the sons of Kish, their brothers, lifted them. 23 The sons of Mushi: Mahli and Eder and Jerimoth—three.

24 These were the sons of Levi according to the house of their fathers, heads of fathers, by their appointments, in the numbering of names by their skulls, the doer of the work of the service of the house of Yahweh, from sons of 20 years and above. 25 For David said, “Yahweh, the God of Israel, has given rest to his people. And he dwells in Jerusalem to forever. 26 And also for the Levites, it is not to carry the tabernacle and all of its vessels for its service.” 27 For by the last words of David they were counting the sons of Levi from sons of 20 years and to above. 28 For their service was at the hand of the sons of Aaron for the service of the house of Yahweh, over the courts and over the chambers and over the purifying of all of the holy and the work of the service of the house of God 29 and for the bread of the arrangement and for the fine flour for the offering and for the wafers of unleavened bread and for the pan and for the mixing and for every measure and size 30 and to stand, by morning by morning, to thank and to praise Yahweh, and thus in the evening, 31 and for every offering of burnt offerings to Yahweh on the Sabbaths, at the new moons, and at the annual festivals by number according to the regulation about them continually to the face of Yahweh. 32 And they kept the keeping of the tent of meeting and the keeping of the holy place and the keeping of the sons of Aaron, their brothers, for the service of the house of Yahweh.
