1. And Dawiḏ was old and satisfied with days, and he made his son Shelomoh to reign over Yisra’ĕl,
2. and he gathered all the rulers of Yisra’ĕl, with the priests and the Lĕwites.
3. And the Lĕwites were numbered from the age of thirty years and above. And their number, head by head, was thirty-eight thousand males.
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 divided them into divisions, of the sons of Lĕwi: of Gĕrshon, Qehath, and Merari.
7. Of the Gĕrshonites: La‛dan and Shim‛i.
8. The sons of La‛dan: Yeḥi’ĕl the head, then Zĕtham and Yo’ĕl, three.
9. The sons of Shim‛i: Shelomith, and Ḥazi’ĕl, and Haran, three. These were the heads of the fathers’ houses of La‛dan.
10. And the sons of Shim‛i: Yaḥath, Zina, and Ye‛ush, and Beri‛ah. These were the four sons of Shim‛i.
11. And Yaḥath was the head and Zizah the second. But Ye‛ush and Beri‛ah did not have many sons, so they were reckoned as one father’s house.
12. The sons of Qehath: Amram, Yitshar, Ḥeḇron, and Uzzi’ĕl, four.
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 Lĕwi.
