MLV(i)
3 And the Levites were numbered from thirty years old and upward. And their number by their polls, man by man, was thirty-eight thousand.
4 Of these, twenty-four thousand were to oversee the work of the house of Jehovah. And six thousand were officers and judges,
5 and four thousand were gatekeepers and four thousand praised Jehovah with the instruments which David said I made to praise Him.
6 And David divided them into divisions according to the sons of Levi: Gershon, Kohath and Merari.
7 Of the Gershonites: Ladan and Shimei. 8 The sons of Ladan: Jehiel the chief and Zetham and Joel, three. 9 The sons of Shimei: Shelomoth and Haziel and Haran, three. These were the heads of the fathers of Ladan. 10 And the sons of Shimei: Jahath, Zina and Jeush and Beriah. These four were the sons of Shimei. 11 And Jahath was the chief and Zizah the second. But Jeush and Beriah had not many sons. Therefore they became a fathers' house in one reckoning.
12 The sons of Kohath: Amram, Izhar, Hebron and Uzziel, four. 13 The sons of Amram: Aaron and Moses. And Aaron was separated that he should sanctify the most holy things, he and his sons, until everlasting, to burn incense before Jehovah, to minister to him and to bless in his name, until everlasting. 14 But as for Moses the man of God, his sons were named among the tribe of Levi. 15 The sons of Moses: Gershom and Eliezer. 16 The sons of Gershom: Shebuel the chief. 17 And the sons of Eliezer were: Rehabiah the chief. And Eliezer had no other sons, but the sons of Rehabiah were very many. 18 The sons of Izhar: Shelomith the chief. 19 The sons of Hebron: Jeriah the first, Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third and Jekameam the fourth. 20 The sons of Uzziel: Micah the chief and Isshiah the second.
21 The sons of Merari: Mahli and Mushi. The sons of Mahli: Eleazar and Kish. 22 And Eleazar died and had no sons, but daughters only. And their brothers the sons of Kish took them as a wife. 23 The sons of Mushi: Mahli and Eder and Jeremoth, three.
24 These were the sons of Levi after their fathers' houses, even the heads of the fathers of those of them that were counted, in the number of names by their polls, who did the work for the service of the house of Jehovah, from twenty years old and upward. 25 For David said, Jehovah, the God of Israel, has given rest to his people and he dwells in Jerusalem until everlasting. 26 And also the Levites will no more have need to carry the tabernacle and all the vessels of it for the service of it.
27 For by the last words of David the sons of Levi were numbered, from twenty years old and upward.
28 For their office was to wait on the sons of Aaron for the service of the house of Jehovah, in the courts and in the chambers and in the purifying of all holy things, even the work of the service of the house of God, also 29 for the showbread and for the fine flour for a meal offering, whether of unleavened wafers, or of what is baked in the pan, or of what is soaked and for all manner of measure and size. 30 And to stand every morning to thank and praise Jehovah and likewise at evening. 31 And to offer all burnt offerings to Jehovah, on the Sabbaths, on the new moons and on the set feasts, in number according to the ordinance concerning them, continually before Jehovah. 32 And that they should keep the charge of the tent of meeting and the charge of the holy place and the charge of the sons of Aaron their brothers, for the service of the house of Jehovah.
