1. So when Dovid was old and full of days, he made Sh'lomo bno Melech Yisroel.
2. And he gathered together all the sarim of Yisroel, with the Kohanim and the Levi'im.
3. Now the Levi'im were numbered from the age of thirty years and upward; and their number by their gulgelot (totals, head count), gevarim (men), was thirty and eight elef.
4. Of which, twenty and four elef were to look after the work of the Beis Hashem; and six alafim were shoterim (officials) and shofetim (judges);
5. Moreover four alafim were sho'arim (gatekeepers); and four alafim praised Hashem with the kelim (instruments) which I made, said Dovid, to praise therewith.
6. And Dovid divided them into divisions among the Bnei Levi, namely, Gershon, Kehat, and Merari.
7. Of the Gershoni were La'dan, and Shimei.
8. The Bnei La'dan; the rosh was Yechiel, and Zetam, and Yoel, three.
9. The Bnei Shimei; Shlomit, and Chaziel, and Haran, three. These were the rashei avot of La'dan.
10. And the Bnei Shimei were Yachat, Zina, and Yeush, and Beriah. These four were the Bnei Shimei.
11. And Yachat was rosh, and Zizah the second; but Yeush and Beriah had not many banim; therefore they were in pekudah echad (one reckoning), according to their bais av.
12. The Bnei Kehat; Amram, Yitzhar, Chevron, and Uzziel, four.
13. The Bnei Amram; Aharon and Moshe; Aharon was separated, to set him apart as Kodesh Kodashim, he and his banim ad olam, to burn offerings before Hashem, to minister unto Him, and to bless b'Shmo ad olam.
14. Now concerning Moshe the Ish HaElohim, his banim were reckoned of the Shevet Levi.
