¹⁰ Of sons of Uzziel: Amminadab the chief, and his brethren, a hundred and twelve. ¹¹ And David calleth to Zadok and to Abiathar the priests, and to the Levites, to Uriel, Asaiah, and Joel, Shemaiah, and Eliel, and Amminadab, ¹² and saith to them, `Ye are heads of the fathers of the Levites; sanctify yourselves, ye and your brethren, and ye have brought up the ark of Jehovah, God of Israel, unto the place I have prepared for it; ¹³ because at the first it was not ye, Jehovah our God made a breach upon us, because we sought Him not according to the ordinance.' ¹⁴ And the priests and the Levites sanctify themselves, to bring up the ark of Jehovah, God of Israel; ¹⁵ and sons of the Levites bear the ark of God, as Moses commanded, according to the word of Jehovah, on their shoulder, with staves, above them. ¹⁶ And David saith to the heads of the Levites to appoint their brethren the singers, with instruments of song, psalteries, and harps, and cymbals, sounding, to lift up with the voice for joy. ¹⁷ And the Levites appoint Heman son of Joel, and of his brethren, Asaph son of Berechiah, and of the sons of Merari their brethren, Ethan son of Kushaiah; ¹⁸ and with them their brethren, the seconds in rank, Zechariah, Ben, and Jaaziel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Unni, Eliab, and Benaiah, and Maaseiah, and Mattithiah, and Elipheleh, and Mikneiah; and Obed-Edom and Jeiel the gatekeepers; ¹⁹ and the singers, Heman, Asaph, and Ethan, with cymbals of brass to sound, ²⁰ and Zechariah, and Aziel, and Shemiramoth, and Jeheil, and Unni, and Eliab, and Maaseiah, and Benaiah, with psalteries besides virgins, ²¹ and Mattithiah, and Elipheleh, and Mikneiah, and Obed-Edom, and Jeiel, and Azaziah, with harps, on the octave, to oversee. ²² And Chenaniah, head of the Levites, is over the burden; he instructeth about the burden, for he is intelligent. ²³ And Berechiah and Elkanah are gatekeepers for the ark. ²⁴ And Shebaniah, and Joshaphat, and Nethaneel, and Amasai, and Zechariah, and Benaiah, and Eliezer the priests, are blowing with trumpets before the ark of God; and Obed-Edom and Jehiah are gatekeepers for the ark.

²⁸ And all Israel are bringing up the ark of the covenant of Jehovah with shouting, and with the sound of a cornet, and with trumpets, and with cymbals, sounding with psalteries and harps,

⁵ Asaph the head, and his second Zechariah; Jeiel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Mattithiah, and Eliab, and Benaiah, and Obed-Edom, and Jeiel, with instruments of psalteries, and with harps; and Asaph with cymbals is sounding;

⁴² and with them—Heman and Jeduthun—are trumpets and cymbals for those sounding, and instruments of the song of God, and the sons of Jeduthun are at the gate.

⁵ and four thousand gatekeepers, and four thousand giving praise to Jehovah, `with instruments that I made for praising,' saith David.

¹ And David and the heads of the host separate for service, of the sons of Asaph, and Heman, and Jeduthun, who are prophesying with harps, with psalteries, and with cymbals, and the number of the workmen is according to their service. ² Of sons of Asaph: Zaccur, and Joseph, and Nethaniah, and Asharelah, sons of Asaph, are by the side of Asaph, who is prophesying by the side of the king. ³ Of Jeduthun: sons of Jeduthun, Gedaliah, and Zeri, and Jeshaiah, Hashabiah, and Mattithiah, Shisshah, are by the side of their father Jeduthun; with a harp he is prophesying, for giving of thanks and of praise to Jehovah. ⁴ Of Heman: sons of Heman: Bukkiah, Mattaniah, Uzziel, Shebuel, and Jerimoth, Hananiah, Hanani, Eliathah, Giddalti, and Romamti-Ezer, Joshbekashah, Mallothi, Hothir, Mahazioth; ⁵ all these are sons of Heman—seer of the king in the things of God—to lift up a horn; and God giveth to Heman fourteen sons and three daughters. ⁶ All these are by the side of their father in the song of the house of Jehovah, with cymbals, psalteries, and harps, for the service of the house of God; by the side of the king are Asaph, and Jeduthun, and Heman.

⁵ God hath gone up with a shout, Jehovah with the sound of a trumpet.

²⁵ Singers have been before, Behind are players on instruments, In the midst virgins playing with timbrels. ²⁶ In assemblies bless ye God, The Lord—from the fountain of Israel. ²⁷ There is little Benjamin their ruler, Heads of Judah their defence, Heads of Zebulun—heads of Naphtali.

³ Praise Him with blowing of trumpet, Praise Him with psaltery and harp. ⁴ Praise Him with timbrel and dance, Praise Him with stringed instruments and organ. ⁵ Praise Him with cymbals of sounding, Praise Him with cymbals of shouting.

⁵ at the time that ye hear the voice of the cornet, the flute, the harp, the sackbut, the psaltery, the symphony, and all kinds of music, ye fall down and do obeisance to the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king hath raised up: ⁶ and whoso doth not fall down and do obeisance, in that hour he is cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace.' ⁷ Therefore at that time, when all the peoples are hearing the voice of the cornet, the flute, the harp, the sackbut, the psaltery, and all kinds of music, falling down are all the peoples, nations and languages, doing obeisance to the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king hath raised up.

²³ Turn aside from Me the noise of thy songs, Yea, the praise of thy psaltery I hear not.

⁵ Who are taking part according to the psaltery, Like David they invented for themselves instruments of music; ⁶ And they come unto the threshing-floor of Nachon, and Uzzah putteth forth his hand unto the ark of God, and layeth hold on it, for they released the oxen;

¹ And the sons of Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, take each his censer, and put in them fire, and put on it perfume, and bring near before Jehovah strange fire, which He hath not commanded them; ² and fire goeth out from before Jehovah, and consumeth them, and they die before Jehovah.
³ And Moses saith unto Aaron, `It is that which Jehovah hath spoken, saying, By those drawing near to Me I am sanctified, and in the face of all the people I am honoured;' and Aaron is silent.

³⁵ and fire hath come out from Jehovah, and consumeth the two hundred and fifty men bringing near the perfume.

⁶ And Joshua son of Nun calleth unto the priests, and saith unto them, `Bear ye the ark of the covenant, and seven priests do bear seven trumpets of the jubilee before the ark of Jehovah;'

¹⁹ And He smiteth among the men of Beth-Shemesh, for they looked into the ark of Jehovah, yea, He smiteth among the people seventy men—fifty chief men; and the people mourn, because Jehovah smote among the people—a great smiting.

¹⁵ and sons of the Levites bear the ark of God, as Moses commanded, according to the word of Jehovah, on their shoulder, with staves, above them.

¹⁶ And at his being strong his heart hath been high unto destruction, and he trespasseth against Jehovah his God, and goeth in unto the temple of Jehovah to make perfume upon the altar of perfume. ¹⁷ And Azariah the priest goeth in after him, and with him priests of Jehovah eighty, sons of valour, ¹⁸ and they stand up against Uzziah the king, and say to him, `Not for thee, O Uzziah, to make perfume to Jehovah, but for priests, sons of Aaron, who are sanctified to make perfume; go forth from the sanctuary, for thou hast trespassed, and it is not to thee for honour from Jehovah God.' ¹⁹ And Uzziah is wroth, and in his hand is a censer to make perfume, and in his being wroth with the priests—the leprosy hath risen in his forehead, before the priests, in the house of Jehovah, from beside the altar of perfume. ²⁰ And Azariah the head priest looketh unto him, and all the priests, and lo, he is leprous in his forehead, and they hasten him thence, and also he himself hath hastened to go out, for Jehovah hath plagued him.

³⁰ Because of this, among you many are weak and sickly, and sleep do many; ³¹ for if ourselves we were discerning, we would not be being judged, ³² and being judged by the Lord, we are chastened, that with the world we may not be condemned;

³² therefore the sons of Israel do not eat the sinew which shrank, which is on the hollow of the thigh, unto this day, because He came against the hollow of Jacob's thigh, against the sinew which shrank.

⁶ and He burieth him in a valley in the land of Moab, over-against Beth-Peor, and no man hath known his burying place unto this day.

⁹ even the twelve stones hath Joshua raised up out of the midst of the Jordan, the place of the standing of the feet of the priests bearing the ark of the covenant, and they are there unto this day.

⁷ and the anger of Jehovah burneth against Uzzah, and God smiteth him there for the error, and he dieth there by the ark of God.

⁹ and David feareth Jehovah on that day, and saith, `How doth the ark of Jehovah come in unto me?'

⁴ And Jehovah saith, `Is doing good displeasing to thee?'

⁹ And God saith unto Jonah: `Is doing good displeasing to thee, because of the gourd?' and he saith, `To do good is displeasing to me—unto death.'

¹² And the sons of Israel speak unto Moses, saying, `Lo, we have expired; we have perished; we have all of us perished; ¹³ any who is at all drawing near unto the tabernacle of Jehovah dieth; have we not been consumed—to expire?'

¹⁰ And they send the ark of God to Ekron, and it cometh to pass, at the coming in of the ark of God to Ekron, that the Ekronites cry out, saying, `They have brought round unto us the ark of the God of Israel, to put us to death—and our people.' <sup>11</sup> And they send and gather all the princes of the Philistines, and say, `Send away the ark of the God of Israel, and it turneth back to its place, and it doth not put us to death—and our people;' for there hath been a deadly destruction throughout all the city, very heavy hath the hand of God been there,

²⁰ And the men of Beth-Shemesh say, `Who is able to stand before Jehovah, this holy God? and unto whom doth He go up from us?'

²⁷ But, is it true? —God dwelleth on the earth! lo, the heavens, and the heavens of the heavens do not contain Thee, how much less this house which I have builded!

⁵ Lo—unto the moon, and it shineth not, And stars have not been pure in His eyes. ⁶ How much less man—a grub, And the son of man—a worm!

¹²⁰ Trembled from Thy fear hath my flesh, And from Thy judgments I have been afraid!

⁵ And I say, `Woe to me, for I have been silent, For a man—unclean of lips am I, And in midst of a people unclean of lips I am dwelling, Because the King, Jehovah of Hosts, have my eyes seen.'

²⁴ `And he also who hath received the one talent having come, said, Sir, I knew thee, that thou art a hard man, reaping where thou didst not sow, and gathering from whence thou didst not scatter;

⁸ And Simon Peter having seen, fell down at the knees of Jesus, saying, `Depart from me, because I am a sinful man, O lord;' ⁹ for astonishment seized him, and all those with him, at the draught of the fishes that they took,

³ and the Beerothites flee to Gittaim, and are there sojourners unto this day.

¹⁸ and with them their brethren, the seconds in rank, Zechariah, Ben, and Jaaziel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Unni, Eliab, and Benaiah, and Maaseiah, and Mattithiah, and Elipheleh, and Mikneiah; and Obed-Edom and Jeiel the gatekeepers;

⁴ And to Obed-Edom are sons, Shemaiah the first-born, Jehozabad the second, Joah the third, and Sacar the fourth, and Nethaneel the fifth,

⁸ all these are of the sons of Obed-Edom; they, and their sons, and their brethren, men of valour with might for service, are sixty and two of Obed-Edom.

²⁷ And Laban saith unto him, `If, I pray thee, I have found grace in thine eyes—I have observed diligently that Jehovah doth bless me for thy sake.'

⁵ And it cometh to pass from the time that he hath appointed him over his house, and over all that he hath, that Jehovah blesseth the house of the Egyptian for Joseph's sake, and the blessing of Jehovah is on all that he hath, in the house, and in the field;

⁴ And to Obed-Edom are sons, Shemaiah the first-born, Jehozabad the second, Joah the third, and Sacar the fourth, and Nethaneel the fifth, ⁵ Ammiel the sixth, Issachar the seventh, Peullethai the eighth, for God hath blessed him.

⁹ Honour Jehovah from thy substance, And from the beginning of all thine increase; ¹⁰ And filled are thy barns with plenty, And with new wine thy presses break forth.

²² The blessing of Jehovah—it maketh rich, And He addeth no grief with it.

¹⁰ Bring in all the tithe unto the treasure-house, And there is food in My house; When ye have tried Me, now, with this, Said Jehovah of Hosts, Do not I open to you the windows of heaven? Yea, I have emptied on you a blessing till there is no space. ¹¹ And I have pushed for you against the consumer, And He doth not destroy to you the fruit of the ground, Nor miscarry to you doth the vine in the field, Said Jehovah of Hosts.
