5 Voici les familles de Lévi, données à partir de leur ancêtre. Pour Guershôn, de père en fils : Libni, Yahath, Zimma, 6 Yoah, Iddo, Zérah, Yeatraï.
7 Descendants de Qehath de père en fils : Amminadab, Qoré, Assir, 8 Elqana, Ebyasaph, Assir, 9 Tahath, Ouriel, Ozias, Saül. 10 Fils d’Elqana : Amasaï et Ahimoth. 11 Voici les descendants d’Elqana de père en fils[b] : Tsophaï, Nahath, 12 Eliab, Yeroham, Elqana et Samuel[c]. 13 Fils de Samuel : Joël[d] l’aîné, et Abiya le cadet. 14 Les descendants de Merari en ligne directe de père en fils furent : Mahli, Libni, Shimeï, Ouzza, 15 Shimea, Hagguiya et Asaya.
16 Voici les noms des lévites à qui David confia la responsabilité du chant dans le sanctuaire de l’Eternel, dès que le coffre y fut déposé. 17 Ils exerçaient déjà leur service par le chant devant le tabernacle, la tente de la Rencontre, jusqu’à ce que Salomon ait bâti le temple de l’Eternel à Jérusalem, et ils exerçaient leur fonction d’après la règle qui leur avait été prescrite.
18 Voici ceux qui accomplissaient ce service avec leurs fils. Parmi les Qehatites, Hémân officiait comme musicien. Ses ascendants en ligne directe étaient : Joël, Samuel[e], 19 Elqana, Yeroham, Eliel, Toah, 20 Tsouph, Elqana, Mahath, Amasaï, 21 Elqana, Joël, Azaria, Sophonie, 22 Tahath, Assir, Ebyasaph, Qoré, 23 Yitsehar, Qehath, Lévi, fils d’Israël. 24 A la droite de Hémân se tenait Asaph, membre de la même tribu, dont les ascendants de fils en père étaient Bérékia, Shimea, 25 Michaël, Baaséya, Malkiya, 26 Etni, Zérah, Adaya, 27 Etân, Zimma, Shimeï, 28 Yahath, Guershôn, fils de Lévi.

33 Les autres lévites étaient affectés à toutes les autres tâches afférentes au sanctuaire de Dieu. 34 Aaron et ses descendants offraient les sacrifices sur l’autel des holocaustes et les parfums sur l’autel des parfums ; ils accomplissaient toutes les tâches relatives au lieu très saint et faisaient le rite d’expiation pour Israël, conformément à tout ce qu’avait ordonné Moïse, serviteur de Dieu.

57 So the descendants of Aaron were given Hebron (a city of refuge), and Libnah,[h](AO) Jattir,(AP) Eshtemoa, 58 Hilen, Debir,(AQ) 59 Ashan,(AR) Juttah[i] and Beth Shemesh, together with their pasturelands. 60 And from the tribe of Benjamin they were given Gibeon,[j] Geba, Alemeth and Anathoth,(AS) together with their pasturelands.

62 The descendants of Gershon, clan by clan, were allotted thirteen towns from the tribes of Issachar, Asher and Naphtali, and from the part of the tribe of Manasseh that is in Bashan.

66 Some of the Kohathite clans were given as their territory towns from the tribe of Ephraim.
67 In the hill country of Ephraim they were given Shechem (a city of refuge), and Gezer,[k](AU) 68 Jokmeam,(AV) Beth Horon,(AW) 69 Aijalon(AX) and Gath Rimmon,(AY) together with their pasturelands.
