레위인들의 직무상 분류
23 다윗이 나이 많아 늙었을 때 그는 자기 아들 솔로몬을 이스라엘의 왕 으로 삼고
2 모든 이스라엘 지도자들과 제사장들과 레위인들을 한자리에 불러모았다.
3 그때 다윗이 소집한 레위 사람들은 30세 이상의 남자들로 모두 38,000명이었다.
4 다윗은 그 중에서 24,000명은 성전 업무를 맡아 보게 하고 6,000명은 사무관과 재판관으로,
5 4,000명은 문지기로, 나머지 4,000명은 다윗이 직접 만든 악기를 가지고 여호와를 찬양하는 성가대원으로 일하게 하였다.
6 그런 다음 다윗은 그들을 레위의 세 아들 이름을 따서 게르손 계열, 고핫 계열, 므라리 계열로 나누었다.
7 게르손 계열은 다시 라단파와 시므이파로 나뉘었는데
8 라단의 아들은 여히엘, 세담, 요엘이었으며
9 또 [a]라단의 자손 중에는 슬로못, 하시엘, 하란이 있었다. 이들은 모두 라단파의 족장들이었다.
10-11 시므이의 아들은 야핫, 시나, 여우스, 브리아였으며 여우스와 브리아는 아들이 많지 않았으므로 통상 한집안으로 취급되었다. 이들은 모두 시므이파의 족장들이었다.
12 고핫 계열은 아므람파, 이스할파, 헤브론파, 웃시엘파로 나뉘었다.
13 그리고 아므람의 아들은 아론과 모세였다. 아론과 그의 자손은 백성들의 제물을 여호와께 바쳐서 제사를 드리고 항상 여호와를 섬기며 여호와의 이름으로 백성들을 축복하는 거룩한 직분을 맡았다.
14 그러나 하나님의 사람 모세의 아들들은 단순히 레위 지파에만 포함되어 있었다.
15 모세의 아들은 게르솜과 엘리에셀이었으며
16 게르솜 집안의 족장은 스브엘이었고
17 엘리에셀 집안의 족장은 르하뱌였다. 엘리에셀은 아들이 하나밖에 없었으나 그의 아들 르하뱌에게는 자녀들이 많았다.
18 이스할의 아들은 그 집안의 족장인 슬로밋이었으며
19 헤브론의 아들은 그 집안의 족장인 여리야, 아마랴, 야하시엘, 여가므암이었다.
20 그리고 웃시엘의 아들은 그 집안의 족장인 미가와 잇시야였다.
21 므라리 계열은 마흘리파와 무시파로 나뉘었으며 마흘리의 아들은 엘르아살과 기스였다.
22 엘르아살은 아들 없이 죽었고 그의 딸들은 기스의 아들인 그의 사촌들과 결혼하였다.
23 그리고 무시의 아들은 마흘리와 에델과 여레못이었다.
24 이들은 여호와의 성전에서 섬기는 일을 맡은 레위의 후손들로서 각 계열과 파와 집안별로 조사된 20세 이상의 족장들이었다.
25 다윗은 이스라엘의 하나님 여호와께서 자기 백성에게 평화를 주시고 항상 예루살렘에 계실 것이므로
26 레위 사람이 더 이상 성막과 그 기구들을 이리저리 옮길 필요가 없다고 말하였다.
27 그래서 다윗의 이 마지막 지시에 따라 20세 이상의 레위 사람들을 대상으로 인구 조사를 실시하였다.
28 레위 사람들의 업무는 성전에서 제사를 드릴 때 아론의 후손인 제사장들을 돕고 또 성전을 관리하며 정결 의식을 행할 때 도와주는 일이었다.
29 그리고 그들은 차림상의 빵과 곡식 제물에 쓰는 밀가루와 누룩을 넣지 않고 만든 과자와 구워서 만든 제물과 기름을 섞은 밀가루를 준비하고 또 성전 제물을 달아 보고 재기도 했으며
30 매일 아침저녁으로 여호와 앞에 서서 감사와 찬양을 드리고
31 안식일과 초하루와 그 밖의 모든 명절에 불로 태워 바치는 번제를 드릴 때 제사장들을 도와주었다. 이와 같이 그들은 일정한 규정에 따라 여호와 앞에서 섬기며
32 성막과 성소를 돌보고 성전에서 제사장들의 여러 가지 일을 도와주었다.

利未人的职务和班次
23 大卫年老,寿数将尽的时候,就立他的儿子所罗门作王统治以色列。 2 大卫召集了以色列的众领袖、祭司和利未人。 3 利未人自三十岁及以上的都被数点;按统计,他们男丁的数目,共有三万八千人。 4 其中有二万四千人,监管耶和华殿宇的工作;有六千人作官长和审判官; 5 有四千人作守门的,又有四千人用大卫所做(“大卫所做”原文作“我做”)的乐器赞美耶和华。 6 大卫把利未的儿子革顺、哥辖和米拉利的子孙,分成班次。
7 革顺的子孙(“革顺的子孙”直译是“属于革顺人的”)有拉但和示每。 8 拉但的儿子是:长子耶歇,还有西坦和约珥,共三人。 9 示每的儿子有示罗密、哈薛和哈兰,共三人。以上这些人是拉但家族的首领。 10 示每的儿子是雅哈、细拿、耶乌施和比利亚;这四人都是示每的儿子。 11 雅哈是长子,细撒是次子;耶乌施和比利亚的子孙不多,所以合为一个家族,同归一个班次。
12 哥辖的儿子是暗兰、以斯哈、希伯伦和乌薛,共四人。 13 暗兰的儿子是亚伦和摩西。亚伦和他的子孙永远被分别出来,献上至圣之物;在耶和华面前烧香,服事他,奉他的名祝福,直到永远。 14 至于神人摩西,他的子孙记在利未支派的册上。 15 摩西的儿子是革舜和以利以谢。 16 革舜的长子是细布业。 17 以利以谢的第一个儿子是利哈比雅;以利以谢没有别的儿子,利哈比雅却有很多儿子。 18 以斯哈的长子是示罗密。 19 希伯伦的儿子是:长子耶利雅、次子亚玛利亚、三子雅哈悉、四子耶加面。 20 乌薛的儿子是:长子米迦、次子耶西雅。
21 米拉利的儿子是抹利和母示;抹利的儿子是以利亚撒和基士。 22 以利亚撒死了,没有儿子,只有女儿;基士的儿子们,就是他们的亲族,娶了她们为妻。 23 母示的儿子是末力、以得和耶利摩,共三人。
24 以上这些是利未的子孙,按着他们的家族,各家的首领,照着男丁名字的数目被数点,二十岁及以上的,都是办理耶和华殿的事务的。 25 因为大卫曾说:“耶和华以色列的 神已经使他的子民得享安宁,他自己永远住在耶路撒冷。 26 利未人不必再抬帐幕和其中所使用的一切器皿了。” 27 按着大卫临终所吩咐的话,利未人从二十岁起的都被数点了。 28 他们的职任是协助亚伦的子孙,办理耶和华殿的事务,管理院子、厢房和洁净一切圣物,以及办理神殿的事务; 29 又管
理陈设饼、素祭细面,或无酵薄饼,或是煎盘烤的,或是用油调和的,以及管理各种量度的器具。 30 每天早晨要侍立称谢和赞美耶和华,每天晚上也要这样; 31 又要在安息日,每月初一日和指定的节日,按着数目照着规例,把燔祭不住地献在耶和华面前。 32 他们要看守会幕和圣所,以及看管他们在耶和华殿里办事的亲族,亚伦的子孙。

New International Version
The Levites
23 When David was old and full of years, he made his son Solomon(A) king over Israel.(B)
2 He also gathered together all the leaders of Israel, as well as the priests and Levites. 3 The Levites thirty years old or more(C) were counted,(D) and the total number of men was thirty-eight thousand.(E) 4 David said, “Of these, twenty-four thousand are to be in charge(F) of the work(G) of the temple of the Lord and six thousand are to be officials and judges.(H) 5 Four thousand are to be gatekeepers and four thousand are to praise the Lord with the musical instruments(I) I have provided for that purpose.”(J)
6 David separated(K) the Levites into divisions corresponding to the sons of Levi:(L) Gershon, Kohath and Merari.
Gershonites
7 Belonging to the Gershonites:(M)
Ladan and Shimei.
8 The sons of Ladan:
Jehiel the first, Zetham and Joel—three in all.
9 The sons of Shimei:
Shelomoth, Haziel and Haran—three in all.
These were the heads of the families of Ladan.
10 And the sons of Shimei:
Jahath, Ziza,[a] Jeush and Beriah.
These were the sons of Shimei—four in all.
11 Jahath was the first and Ziza the second, but Jeush and Beriah did not have many sons; so they were counted as one family with one assignment.
Kohathites
12 The sons of Kohath:(N)
Amram, Izhar, Hebron and Uzziel—four in all.
13 The sons of Amram:(O)
Aaron and Moses.
Aaron was set apart,(P) he and his descendants forever, to consecrate the most holy things, to offer sacrifices before the Lord, to minister(Q) before him and to pronounce blessings(R) in his name forever. 14 The sons of Moses the man(S) of God were counted as part of the tribe of Levi.
15 The sons of Moses:
Gershom and Eliezer.(T)
16 The descendants of Gershom:(U)
Shubael was the first.
17 The descendants of Eliezer:
Rehabiah(V) was the first.
Eliezer had no other sons, but the sons of Rehabiah were very numerous.
18 The sons of Izhar:
Shelomith(W) was the first.
19 The sons of Hebron:(X)
Jeriah the first, Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third and Jekameam the fourth.
20 The sons of Uzziel:
Micah the first and Ishiah the second.
Merarites
21 The sons of Merari:(Y)
Mahli and Mushi.(Z)
The sons of Mahli:
Eleazar and Kish.
22 Eleazar died without having sons: he had only daughters. Their cousins, the sons of Kish, married them.(AA)
23 The sons of Mushi:
Mahli, Eder and Jerimoth—three in all.
24 These were the descendants of Levi by their families—the heads of families as they were registered under their names and counted individually, that is, the workers twenty years old or more(AB) who served in the temple of the Lord. 25 For David had said, “Since the Lord, the God of Israel, has granted rest(AC) to his people and has come to dwell in Jerusalem forever, 26 the Levites no longer need to carry the tabernacle or any of the articles used in its service.”(AD) 27 According to the last instructions of David, the Levites were counted from those twenty years old or more.
28 The duty of the Levites was to help Aaron’s descendants in the service of the temple of the Lord: to be in charge of the courtyards, the side rooms, the purification(AE) of all sacred things and the performance of other duties at the house of God. 29 They were in charge of the bread set out on the table,(AF) the special flour for the grain offerings,(AG) the thin loaves made without yeast, the baking and the mixing, and all measurements of quantity and size.(AH) 30 They were also to stand every morning to thank and praise the Lord. They were to do the same in the evening(AI) 31 and whenever burnt offerings were presented to the Lord on the Sabbaths, at the New Moon(AJ) feasts and at the appointed festivals.(AK) They were to serve before the Lord regularly in the proper number and in the way prescribed for them.
32 And so the Levites(AL) carried out their responsibilities for the tent of meeting,(AM) for the Holy Place and, under their relatives the descendants of Aaron, for the service of the temple of the Lord.(AN)

1 Chronicles 23
King James Version
23 So when David was old and full of days, he made Solomon his son king over Israel.
2 And he gathered together all the princes of Israel, with the priests and the Levites.
3 Now the Levites were numbered from the age of thirty years and upward: and their number by their polls, man by man, was thirty and eight thousand.
4 Of which, twenty and four thousand were to set forward the work of the house of the Lord; and six thousand were officers and judges:
5 Moreover four thousand were porters; and four thousand praised the Lord with the instruments which I made, said David, to praise therewith.
6 And David divided them into courses among the sons of Levi, namely, Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.
7 Of the Gershonites were, Laadan, and Shimei.
8 The sons of Laadan; the chief was Jehiel, and Zetham, and Joel, three.
9 The sons of Shimei; Shelomith, and Haziel, and Haran, three. These were the chief of the fathers of Laadan.
10 And the sons of Shimei were, 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 were in one reckoning, according to their father's house.
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 for ever, to burn incense before the Lord, to minister unto him, and to bless in his name for ever.
14 Now concerning Moses the man of God, his sons were named of the tribe of Levi.
15 The sons of Moses were, Gershom, and Eliezer.
16 Of the sons of Gershom, Shebuel was the chief.
17 And the sons of Eliezer were, Rehabiah the chief. And Eliezer had none other sons; but the sons of Rehabiah were very many.
18 Of the sons of Izhar; Shelomith the chief.
19 Of the sons of Hebron; Jeriah the first, Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third, and Jekameam the fourth.
20 Of the sons of Uzziel; Micah the first and Jesiah 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: and their brethren the sons of Kish took them.
23 The sons of Mushi; Mahli, and Eder, and Jeremoth, three.
24 These were the sons of Levi after the house of their fathers; even the chief of the fathers, as they were counted by number of names by their polls, that did the work for the service of the house of the Lord, from the age of twenty years and upward.
25 For David said, The Lord God of Israel hath given rest unto his people, that they may dwell in Jerusalem for ever:
26 And also unto the Levites; they shall no more carry the tabernacle, nor any vessels of it for the service thereof.
27 For by the last words of David the Levites were numbered from twenty years old and above:
28 Because their office was to wait on the sons of Aaron for the service of the house of the Lord, in the courts, and in the chambers, and in the purifying of all holy things, and the work of the service of the house of God;
29 Both for the shewbread, and for the fine flour for meat offering, and for the unleavened cakes, and for that which is baked in the pan, and for that which is fried, and for all manner of measure and size;
30 And to stand every morning to thank and praise the Lord, and likewise at even:
31 And to offer all burnt sacrifices unto the Lord in the sabbaths, in the new moons, and on the set feasts, by number, according to the order commanded unto them, continually before the Lord:
32 And that they should keep the charge of the tabernacle of the congregation, and the charge of the holy place, and the charge of the sons of Aaron their brethren, in the service of the house of the Lord.

레위인들의 직무상 분류
23 다윗이 나이 많아 늙었을 때 그는 자기 아들 솔로몬을 이스라엘의 왕 으로 삼고
2 모든 이스라엘 지도자들과 제사장들과 레위인들을 한자리에 불러모았다.
3 그때 다윗이 소집한 레위 사람들은 30세 이상의 남자들로 모두 38,000명이었다.
4 다윗은 그 중에서 24,000명은 성전 업무를 맡아 보게 하고 6,000명은 사무관과 재판관으로,
5 4,000명은 문지기로, 나머지 4,000명은 다윗이 직접 만든 악기를 가지고 여호와를 찬양하는 성가대원으로 일하게 하였다.
6 그런 다음 다윗은 그들을 레위의 세 아들 이름을 따서 게르손 계열, 고핫 계열, 므라리 계열로 나누었다.
7 게르손 계열은 다시 라단파와 시므이파로 나뉘었는데
8 라단의 아들은 여히엘, 세담, 요엘이었으며
9 또 [a]라단의 자손 중에는 슬로못, 하시엘, 하란이 있었다. 이들은 모두 라단파의 족장들이었다.
10-11 시므이의 아들은 야핫, 시나, 여우스, 브리아였으며 여우스와 브리아는 아들이 많지 않았으므로 통상 한집안으로 취급되었다. 이들은 모두 시므이파의 족장들이었다.
12 고핫 계열은 아므람파, 이스할파, 헤브론파, 웃시엘파로 나뉘었다.
13 그리고 아므람의 아들은 아론과 모세였다. 아론과 그의 자손은 백성들의 제물을 여호와께 바쳐서 제사를 드리고 항상 여호와를 섬기며 여호와의 이름으로 백성들을 축복하는 거룩한 직분을 맡았다.
14 그러나 하나님의 사람 모세의 아들들은 단순히 레위 지파에만 포함되어 있었다.
15 모세의 아들은 게르솜과 엘리에셀이었으며
16 게르솜 집안의 족장은 스브엘이었고
17 엘리에셀 집안의 족장은 르하뱌였다. 엘리에셀은 아들이 하나밖에 없었으나 그의 아들 르하뱌에게는 자녀들이 많았다.
18 이스할의 아들은 그 집안의 족장인 슬로밋이었으며
19 헤브론의 아들은 그 집안의 족장인 여리야, 아마랴, 야하시엘, 여가므암이었다.
20 그리고 웃시엘의 아들은 그 집안의 족장인 미가와 잇시야였다.
21 므라리 계열은 마흘리파와 무시파로 나뉘었으며 마흘리의 아들은 엘르아살과 기스였다.
22 엘르아살은 아들 없이 죽었고 그의 딸들은 기스의 아들인 그의 사촌들과 결혼하였다.
23 그리고 무시의 아들은 마흘리와 에델과 여레못이었다.
24 이들은 여호와의 성전에서 섬기는 일을 맡은 레위의 후손들로서 각 계열과 파와 집안별로 조사된 20세 이상의 족장들이었다.
25 다윗은 이스라엘의 하나님 여호와께서 자기 백성에게 평화를 주시고 항상 예루살렘에 계실 것이므로
26 레위 사람이 더 이상 성막과 그 기구들을 이리저리 옮길 필요가 없다고 말하였다.
27 그래서 다윗의 이 마지막 지시에 따라 20세 이상의 레위 사람들을 대상으로 인구 조사를 실시하였다.
28 레위 사람들의 업무는 성전에서 제사를 드릴 때 아론의 후손인 제사장들을 돕고 또 성전을 관리하며 정결 의식을 행할 때 도와주는 일이었다.
29 그리고 그들은 차림상의 빵과 곡식 제물에 쓰는 밀가루와 누룩을 넣지 않고 만든 과자와 구워서 만든 제물과 기름을 섞은 밀가루를 준비하고 또 성전 제물을 달아 보고 재기도 했으며
30 매일 아침저녁으로 여호와 앞에 서서 감사와 찬양을 드리고
31 안식일과 초하루와 그 밖의 모든 명절에 불로 태워 바치는 번제를 드릴 때 제사장들을 도와주었다. 이와 같이 그들은 일정한 규정에 따라 여호와 앞에서 섬기며
32 성막과 성소를 돌보고 성전에서 제사장들의 여러 가지 일을 도와주었다.

利未人的职务和班次
23 大卫年老,寿数将尽的时候,就立他的儿子所罗门作王统治以色列。 2 大卫召集了以色列的众领袖、祭司和利未人。 3 利未人自三十岁及以上的都被数点;按统计,他们男丁的数目,共有三万八千人。 4 其中有二万四千人,监管耶和华殿宇的工作;有六千人作官长和审判官; 5 有四千人作守门的,又有四千人用大卫所做(“大卫所做”原文作“我做”)的乐器赞美耶和华。 6 大卫把利未的儿子革顺、哥辖和米拉利的子孙,分成班次。
7 革顺的子孙(“革顺的子孙”直译是“属于革顺人的”)有拉但和示每。 8 拉但的儿子是:长子耶歇,还有西坦和约珥,共三人。 9 示每的儿子有示罗密、哈薛和哈兰,共三人。以上这些人是拉但家族的首领。 10 示每的儿子是雅哈、细拿、耶乌施和比利亚;这四人都是示每的儿子。 11 雅哈是长子,细撒是次子;耶乌施和比利亚的子孙不多,所以合为一个家族,同归一个班次。
12 哥辖的儿子是暗兰、以斯哈、希伯伦和乌薛,共四人。 13 暗兰的儿子是亚伦和摩西。亚伦和他的子孙永远被分别出来,献上至圣之物;在耶和华面前烧香,服事他,奉他的名祝福,直到永远。 14 至于神人摩西,他的子孙记在利未支派的册上。 15 摩西的儿子是革舜和以利以谢。 16 革舜的长子是细布业。 17 以利以谢的第一个儿子是利哈比雅;以利以谢没有别的儿子,利哈比雅却有很多儿子。 18 以斯哈的长子是示罗密。 19 希伯伦的儿子是:长子耶利雅、次子亚玛利亚、三子雅哈悉、四子耶加面。 20 乌薛的儿子是:长子米迦、次子耶西雅。
21 米拉利的儿子是抹利和母示;抹利的儿子是以利亚撒和基士。 22 以利亚撒死了,没有儿子,只有女儿;基士的儿子们,就是他们的亲族,娶了她们为妻。 23 母示的儿子是末力、以得和耶利摩,共三人。
24 以上这些是利未的子孙,按着他们的家族,各家的首领,照着男丁名字的数目被数点,二十岁及以上的,都是办理耶和华殿的事务的。 25 因为大卫曾说:“耶和华以色列的 神已经使他的子民得享安宁,他自己永远住在耶路撒冷。 26 利未人不必再抬帐幕和其中所使用的一切器皿了。” 27 按着大卫临终所吩咐的话,利未人从二十岁起的都被数点了。 28 他们的职任是协助亚伦的子孙,办理耶和华殿的事务,管理院子、厢房和洁净一切圣物,以及办理神殿的事务; 29 又管
理陈设饼、素祭细面,或无酵薄饼,或是煎盘烤的,或是用油调和的,以及管理各种量度的器具。 30 每天早晨要侍立称谢和赞美耶和华,每天晚上也要这样; 31 又要在安息日,每月初一日和指定的节日,按着数目照着规例,把燔祭不住地献在耶和华面前。 32 他们要看守会幕和圣所,以及看管他们在耶和华殿里办事的亲族,亚伦的子孙。

The Levites
23 When David was old and full of years, he made his son Solomon(A) king over Israel.(B)
2 He also gathered together all the leaders of Israel, as well as the priests and Levites. 3 The Levites thirty years old or more(C) were counted,(D) and the total number of men was thirty-eight thousand.(E) 4 David said, “Of these, twenty-four thousand are to be in charge(F) of the work(G) of the temple of the Lord and six thousand are to be officials and judges.(H) 5 Four thousand are to be gatekeepers and four thousand are to praise the Lord with the musical instruments(I) I have provided for that purpose.”(J)
6 David separated(K) the Levites into divisions corresponding to the sons of Levi:(L) Gershon, Kohath and Merari.
Gershonites
7 Belonging to the Gershonites:(M)
Ladan and Shimei.
8 The sons of Ladan:
Jehiel the first, Zetham and Joel—three in all.
9 The sons of Shimei:
Shelomoth, Haziel and Haran—three in all.
These were the heads of the families of Ladan.
10 And the sons of Shimei:
Jahath, Ziza,[a] Jeush and Beriah.
These were the sons of Shimei—four in all.
11 Jahath was the first and Ziza the second, but Jeush and Beriah did not have many sons; so they were counted as one family with one assignment.
Kohathites
12 The sons of Kohath:(N)
Amram, Izhar, Hebron and Uzziel—four in all.
13 The sons of Amram:(O)
Aaron and Moses.
Aaron was set apart,(P) he and his descendants forever, to consecrate the most holy things, to offer sacrifices before the Lord, to minister(Q) before him and to pronounce blessings(R) in his name forever. 14 The sons of Moses the man(S) of God were counted as part of the tribe of Levi.
15 The sons of Moses:
Gershom and Eliezer.(T)
16 The descendants of Gershom:(U)
Shubael was the first.
17 The descendants of Eliezer:
Rehabiah(V) was the first.
Eliezer had no other sons, but the sons of Rehabiah were very numerous.
18 The sons of Izhar:
Shelomith(W) was the first.
19 The sons of Hebron:(X)
Jeriah the first, Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third and Jekameam the fourth.
20 The sons of Uzziel:
Micah the first and Ishiah the second.
Merarites
21 The sons of Merari:(Y)
Mahli and Mushi.(Z)
The sons of Mahli:
Eleazar and Kish.
22 Eleazar died without having sons: he had only daughters. Their cousins, the sons of Kish, married them.(AA)
23 The sons of Mushi:
Mahli, Eder and Jerimoth—three in all.
24 These were the descendants of Levi by their families—the heads of families as they were registered under their names and counted individually, that is, the workers twenty years old or more(AB) who served in the temple of the Lord. 25 For David had said, “Since the Lord, the God of Israel, has granted rest(AC) to his people and has come to dwell in Jerusalem forever, 26 the Levites no longer need to carry the tabernacle or any of the articles used in its service.”(AD) 27 According to the last instructions of David, the Levites were counted from those twenty years old or more.

4 Of which, twenty and four thousand were to set forward the work of the house of the Lord; and six thousand were officers and judges:
5 Moreover four thousand were porters; and four thousand praised the Lord with the instruments which I made, said David, to praise therewith.
6 And David divided them into courses among the sons of Levi, namely, Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.
7 Of the Gershonites were, Laadan, and Shimei.
8 The sons of Laadan; the chief was Jehiel, and Zetham, and Joel, three.
9 The sons of Shimei; Shelomith, and Haziel, and Haran, three. These were the chief of the fathers of Laadan.
10 And the sons of Shimei were, 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 were in one reckoning, according to their father's house.
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 for ever, to burn incense before the Lord, to minister unto him, and to bless in his name for ever.
14 Now concerning Moses the man of God, his sons were named of the tribe of Levi.
15 The sons of Moses were, Gershom, and Eliezer.
16 Of the sons of Gershom, Shebuel was the chief.
17 And the sons of Eliezer were, Rehabiah the chief. And Eliezer had none other sons; but the sons of Rehabiah were very many.
18 Of the sons of Izhar; Shelomith the chief.
19 Of the sons of Hebron; Jeriah the first, Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third, and Jekameam the fourth.
20 Of the sons of Uzziel; Micah the first and Jesiah 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: and their brethren the sons of Kish took them.
23 The sons of Mushi; Mahli, and Eder, and Jeremoth, three.
24 These were the sons of Levi after the house of their fathers; even the chief of the fathers, as they were counted by number of names by their polls, that did the work for the service of the house of the Lord, from the age of twenty years and upward.
25 For David said, The Lord God of Israel hath given rest unto his people, that they may dwell in Jerusalem for ever:
26 And also unto the Levites; they shall no more carry the tabernacle, nor any vessels of it for the service thereof.
27 For by the last words of David the Levites were numbered from twenty years old and above:
28 Because their office was to wait on the sons of Aaron for the service of the house of the Lord, in the courts, and in the chambers, and in the purifying of all holy things, and the work of the service of the house of God;
29 Both for the shewbread, and for the fine flour for meat offering, and for the unleavened cakes, and for that which is baked in the pan, and for that which is fried, and for all manner of measure and size;
30 And to stand every morning to thank and praise the Lord, and likewise at even:
31 And to offer all burnt sacrifices unto the Lord in the sabbaths, in the new moons, and on the set feasts, by number, according to the order commanded unto them, continually before the Lord:
32 And that they should keep the charge of the tabernacle of the congregation, and the charge of the holy place, and the charge of the sons of Aaron their brethren, in the service of the house of the Lord.
