¹ And Dawiḏ

² and he gathered all the rulers of Yisra’ĕ

³ And the Lĕ

⁴ Of these, twenty-four thousand were to oversee the work of the House of יהוה, and six thousand were officers and judges,

⁵ and four thousand were gatekeepers, and four thousand to give praise to יהוה, “which I made for giving praise.”

⁶ And Dawiḏ

⁷ Of the Gĕ

⁸ The sons of Laʽ

⁹ The sons of Shimʽ

¹⁰ And the sons of Shimʽ

¹¹ And Yaḥ

¹² The sons of Qehath: Amram, Yitshar, Ḥ

¹³ The sons of Amram: Aharon and Mosheh. And Aharon was set apart, he and his sons forever, that he should set apart the most set-apart, to burn incense before יהוה, to serve Him, and to give the blessing in His Name forever.

¹⁴ Now Mosheh, the man of Elohim, his sons were named after the tribe of Lĕ

¹⁵ The sons of Mosheh: Gĕ

¹⁶ The sons of Gĕ

¹⁷ And the sons of Eliʽ

¹⁸ The sons of Yitshar: Shelomith was the head.

¹⁹ The sons of Ḥ

²⁰ The sons of Uzzi’ĕ

²¹ The sons of Merari: Maḥ

²² And Elʽ

²³ The sons of Mushi: Maḥ

²⁴ These were the sons of Lĕ

²⁵ For Dawiḏ

²⁶ and also of the Lĕ

²⁷ For by the last words of Dawiḏ

²⁸ because their duty was to help the sons of Aharon in the service of the House of יהוה, in the courtyards and in the rooms, in the cleansing of all that was set-apart, and the work of the service of the House of Elohim,

²⁹ both with the showbread and the fine flour for the grain offering, and with the unleavened cakes and what is baked on the griddle, and with what is mixed and with all kinds of measures and sizes;

³⁰ and to stand every morning to thank and praise יהוה, and so at evening;

³¹ and for all the burnt offerings to יהוה  on the Sabbaths and on the New Moons and on the appointed times, by number according to the right-ruling upon them, continually before יהוה ;

³² and that they should guard the duty of the Tent of Meeting, the duty of the set-apart place, and the duty of the sons of Aharon their brothers in the service of the House of יהוה.
