The First Book of the Chronicles 23

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

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

12 The sons of Kohath: Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel, four. 13 The sons of Amram: Aaron and Moses. And Aaron was set apart for him to consecrate the most holy things, he and his sons until forever, to make sacrifices before the face of Yahweh to minister for him and to bless in his name until 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 there were not to Eliezer other sons, but the sons of Rehabiah were many above that. 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 there were not to him sons, 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 the fathers, by their appointments, in the numbering of names by their heads, the doer of the work of the service of the house of Yahweh; from the sons of 20 years and upward. 25 For David said, “Yahweh, the God of Israel, has given rest to his people. And he dwells in Jerusalem until forever. 26 And also, for the Levites, no longer to carry the tabernacle and all its items for its service.” 27 For by the last words of David, they were numbering the sons of Levi, from the sons of 20 years and upward. 28 For their office was by 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 cleansing of all the sacred things, and the work of the service of the house of God. 29 And concerning the bread of the arrangement, and concerning the fine flour for the offering, and concerning the wafers of the unleavened bread, and concerning the pan, and concerning that which is mixed, and concerning all measure and size. 30 And to stand morning by morning to thank and to praise Yahweh, and thus in the evening. 31 And concerning to offer all the burnt offerings to Yahweh for the Sabbaths, for the new moons, and for the appointed times in the numbering according to the judgment over them regularly before the face of Yahweh. 32 And they were to keep the charge of the tent of meeting and the charge of the holy place, and the charge of the sons of Aaron their brothers for the service of the house of Yahweh.
