1 Crónicas 23

1Now David^H1732 was old^H2204 and full^H7646 of days^H3117; and he made Solomon^H8010 his son^H1121 king^H4427 over Israel^H3478. 2And he gathered together^H622 all the princes^H8269 of Israel^H3478, with the priests^H3548 and the Levites^H3881. 3And the Levites^H3881 were numbered^H5608 from thirty^H7970 years^H1121 old and upward^H4605: and their number^H4557 by their polls^H1538, man^H1397 by man^H1397, was thirty^H7970 and eight^H8083 thousand^H505. 4Of these^H428, twenty^H6242 and four^H702 thousand^H505 were to oversee^H5329 the work^H4399 of the house^H1004 of Jehovah^H3068; and six^H8337 thousand^H505 were officers^H7860 and judges^H8199; 5and four^H702 thousand^H505 were doorkeepers^H7778; and four^H702 thousand^H505 praised^H1984 Jehovah^H3068 with the instruments^H3627 which I made^H6213, said David, to praise^H1984 therewith. 6And David^H1732 divided^H2505 them into courses^H4256 according to the sons^H1121 of Levi^H3878: Gershon^H1648, Kohath^H6955, and Merari^H4847. 7Of the Gershonites^H1649: Ladan^H3936 and Shimei^H8096. 8The sons^H1121 of Ladan^H3936: Jehiel^H3171 the chief^H7218, and Zetham^H2241, and Joel^H3100, three^H7969. 9The sons^H1121 of Shimei^H8096: Shelomoth^H8019, and Haziel^H2381, and Haran^H2039, three^H7969. These were the heads^H7218 of the fathers^H1' houses of Ladan^H3936. 10And the sons^H1121 of Shimei^H8096: Jahath^H3189, Zina^H2126, and Jeush^H3266, and Beriah^H1283. These four^H702 were the sons^H1121 of Shimei^H8096. 11And Jahath^H3189 was the chief^H7218, and Zizah^H2125 the second^H8145: but Jeush^H3266 and Beriah^H1283 had not many^H7235 sons^H1121; therefore they became a fathers^H1' house^H1004 in one^H259 reckoning^H6486. 12The sons^H1121 of Kohath^H6955: Amram^H6019, Izhar^H3324, Hebron^H2275, and Uzziel^H5816, four^H702. 13The sons^H1121 of Amram^H6019: Aaron^H175 and Moses^H4872; and Aaron^H175 was separated^H914, that he should sanctify^H6942 the most^H6944 holy things^H6944, he and his sons^H1121, for^H5704 ever^H5769, to burn incense^H6999 before^H6440 Jehovah^H3068, to minister^H8334 unto him, and to bless^H1288 in his name^H8034, for^H5704 ever^H5769. 14But as for Moses^H4872 the man^H376 of God^H430, his sons^H1121 were named^H7121 among the tribe^H7626 of Levi^H3878. 15The sons^H1121 of Moses^H4872: Gershom^H1647 and Eliezer^H461. 16The sons^H1121 of Gershom^H1647: Shebuel^H7619 the chief^H7218. 17And the sons^H1121 of Eliezer^H461 were: Rehabiah^H7345 the chief^H7218; and Eliezer^H461 had no other^H312 sons^H1121; but the sons^H1121 of Rehabiah^H7345 were very^H4605 many^H7235. 18The sons^H1121 of Izhar^H3324: Shelomith^H8019 the chief^H7218. 19The sons^H1121 of Hebron^H2275: Jeriah^H3404 the chief^H7218, Amariah^H568 the second^H8145, Jahaziel^H3166 the third^H7992, and Jekameam^H3360 the fourth^H7243. 20The sons^H1121 of Uzziel^H5816: Micah^H4318 the chief^H7218, and Isshiah^H3449 the second^H8145. 21The sons^H1121 of Merari^H4847: Mahli^H4249 and Mushi^H4187. The sons^H1121 of Mahli^H4249: Eleazar^H499 and Kish^H7027. 22And Eleazar^H499 died^H4191, and had no sons^H1121, but daughters^H1323 only: and their brethren^H251 the sons^H1121 of Kish^H7027 took^H5375 them to wife. 23The sons^H1121 of Mushi^H4187: Mahli^H4249, and Eder^H5740, and Jeremoth^H3406, three^H7969. 24These were the sons^H1121 of Levi^H3878 after their fathers^H1' houses^H1004, even the heads^H7218 of the fathers^H1' houses of those of them that were counted^H6485, in the number^H4557 of names^H8034 by their polls^H1538, who did^H6213 the work^H4399 for the service^H5656 of the house^H1004 of Jehovah^H3068, from twenty^H6242 years^H1121 old^H1121 and upward^H4605. 25For David^H1732 said^H559, Jehovah^H3068, the God^H430 of Israel^H3478, hath given rest^H5117 unto his people^H5971; and he dwelleth^H7931 in Jerusalem^H3389 for ever^H5769: 26and also the Levites^H3881 shall no more have need to carry^H5375 the tabernacle^H4908 and all the vessels^H3627 of it for the service^H5656 thereof. 27For by the last^H314 words^H1697 of David^H1732 the sons of Levi^H3881 were numbered^H4557, from twenty^H6242 years^H8141 old^H1121 and upward^H4605. 28For their office^H4612 was to wait^H3027 on the sons^H1121 of Aaron^H175 for the service^H5656 of the house^H1004 of Jehovah^H3068, in the courts^H2691, and in the chambers^H3957, and in the purifying^H2893 of all holy things^H6944, even the work^H4639 of the service^H5656 of the house^H1004 of God^H430; 29for the showbread^H3899 also, and for the fine flour^H5560 for a meal-offering^H4503, whether of unleavened^H4682 wafers^H7550, or of that which is baked in the pan^H4227, or of that which is soaked^H7246, and for all manner of measure^H4884 and size^H4060; 30and to stand^H5975 every morning^H1242 to thank^H3034 and praise^H1984 Jehovah^H3068, and likewise at even^H6153; 31and to offer^H5927 all burnt-offerings^H5930 unto Jehovah^H3068, on the sabbaths^H7676, on the new moons^H2320, and on the set feasts^H4150, in number^H4557 according to the ordinance^H4941 concerning them, continually^H8548 before^H6440 Jehovah^H3068; 32and that they should keep^H8104 the charge^H4931 of the tent^H168 of meeting^H4150, and the charge^H4931 of the holy^H6944 place, and the charge^H4931 of the sons^H1121 of Aaron^H175 their brethren^H251, for the service^H5656 of the house^H1004 of Jehovah^H3068.
