Καὶ Δαυεὶδ πρεσβύτης καὶ πλήρης ἡμερῶν, καὶ ἐβασίλευσεν Σαλωμὼν τὸν υἱὸν αὐτοῦ ἀντʼ αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ Ἰσραήλ.

καὶ συνήγαγεν τοὺς πάντας ἄρχοντας Ἰσραὴλ καὶ τοὺς ἱερεῖς καὶ τοὺς Λευείτας.

καὶ ἠρίθμησαν οἱ Λευεῖται ἀπὸ τριακονταετοῦς καὶ ἐπάνω, καὶ ἐγένετο ὁ ἀριθμὸς αὐτῶν κατὰ κεφαλὴν αὐτῶν εἰς ἄνδρας τριάκοντα καὶ ὀκτὼ χιλιάδας·

ἀπὸ τῶν ἐργοδιωκτῶν ἐπὶ τὰ ἔργα οἴκου εἴκοσι τέσσαρες χιλιάδες, καὶ γραμματεῖς καὶ κριταὶ ἑξακισχίλιοι,

καὶ τέσσαρες χιλιάδες αἰνοῦντες τῷ κυρίῳ ἐν τοῖς ὀργάνοις οἷς ἐποίησεν τοῦ αἰνεῖν τῷ κυρίῳ.

καὶ διεῖλεν αὐτοὺς Δαυεὶδ ἐφημερίας τοῖς υἱοῖς Λευεί, τῷ Γεδσών, Καάθ, Μαραρεί

καὶ τῷ αροσώμ, τῷ Ἐδὰν καὶ τῷ Σεμεεί.

υἱοὶ τῷ Ἐδάν· ὁ ἄρχων Ἴηι καὶ Σεθὸμ καὶ Ἰωήλ. καὶ τρεῖς

υἱοὶ Σεμεεί Ἀλωθεὶμ καὶ Εἱειὴλ καὶ Αἱδάν, τρεῖς· οὗτοι ἄρχοντες πατριῶν τῶν Ἐδάν.

καὶ τοῖς υἱοῖς Σεμεεί Ἰὲθ καὶ Ζιζὰ καὶ Ἰώας ¹³ καὶ Βεριά· οὗτοι υἱοὶ Σεμεεί, τέσσαρες.

καὶ ἧν Τχθ ὁ ἄρχον, καὶ Σιζὰ ὁ δεύτερος· καὶ Ἰῶας καὶ Βεριὰ οὐκ ἐπλήθυνεν υἱούς, καὶ ἐγένετο εἰς οἶκον πατριᾶς εἰς ἐπίσκεψιν μίαν.

υἱοὶ Καάθ· Ἀμβράμ, Ἰσσααάρ, Χεβρών, Οζειήλ, τέσσαρες.

υοὶ Ἀμβράμ· Ἀαρὼν καὶ Μωσῆς. καὶ διεστάλη Ἀαρὼν τοῦ ἁγιασθῆναι ἅγια ἁγίων αὐτὸς καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ αὐτοῦ ἕως αἰῶνος, τοῦ θυμιῖν ἐναντίον τοῦ κυρίου, λειτουργεῖν καὶ ἐπεύχεσθαι ἐπὶ τῷ ὀνόματι αὐτοῦ ἕως αἰῶνος.

καὶ Μωυσῆς ἄνθρωπος τοῦ θεοῦ, υἱρὶ αὐτοῦ ἐκλήθησαν εἰς φυλὴν τοῦ Λευεί.

υἱοὶ Μωυσῆ· Γηρσὰμ καὶ Ἐλιέζερ.

υἱοὶ Γηρσάμ· Σουβαὴλ ὁ ἄρχων.

καί ἤσαν υἱοὶ τῷ Ἐλιέζερ Ῥααβιὰ ὁ ἄρχων, καὶ οὐκ ῆσαν υἱοὶ ἕτεροι καὶ υὶ Ῥααβιὰ ηὐξήθησαν εἰς ὕψος.

υἱοὶ Ἰσσαάρ· Σαλωμὼθ ὁ ρχων.

υἱῶν Χεβρών· Ἰβοὐδ ὁ ἄρχων, Ἀμαδιὰ ὁ δεύτερος. Φζιὴλ ὁ τρίτος, Ἰκεμίας ὁ τέταρτος.

υἱοὶ Οζιήλ· Μειχᾶς ὁ ἄρχων καὶ Ἰσειὰ ὁ δεύτερος.

υἱοὶ Μεραρεί dΜοολεὶ καὶ Ομουσεί, υἱοὶ Μοήλ· Ἐλεάζαρ καὶ Κεἰς.

καὶ ἀπέθανεν Ἐλεάζάρ, καὶ οὐκ ἤσαν αὐτῷ υἱοὶ ἀλλ ἡ θυγατέρες, καὶ ἔλαβον αὐτὰς υἱοὶ Κεὶς ἀδελφοὶ αὐτῶν.

υἱοὶ Μουσεί Μοολεὶ καὶ Ἀἰδαθ καὶ Ἀρειμώθ, τρεῖς.

οὅτοι υἱοὶ Λευεὶ κατʼ οἴκους πατριῶν αὐτῶν, ἄρχοντες τῶν πατριῶν αὐτῶν κατὰ τὴν ἐπίσκεψιν αὐτῶν κατὰ τὸν ἀριθμὸν ἀνομάτων αὐτῶν κατὰ κεφαλὴν αὐτῶν, ποιοῦντες τὰ ἔργα λειτουργίας οἴκου Κυρίου ἀπὸ εἰκοσαετοῦς καὶ ἐπάνω.

ὅτι εἶπεν Δαυείδ Κατέπαυσεν Κύριος ὁ θεὸς Ἰσραὴλ τῷ λαῷ αὐτοῦ, καὶ κατεσκήνωσεν ἐν Ἰερουσαλὴμ ἕως αἰῶνος.

καὶ οἱ Λευεῖται οὐκ ἦσαν αἴροντες τὴν σκηνὴν καὶ τὰ πάντα σκεύη αὐτῆς εἰς τὴν λειτουργίαν αὐτῆς·

ὅτι ἐν τοῖς λόγοις Δαυεὶδ τοῖς ἐσχάτοις ἐστὶν ὁ ἀριθμὸς υἱῶν Λευεὶ ἀπὸ εἰκοσαετοῦς καὶ ἐπάνω,

ὅτι ἔστησεν αὐτοὺς ἐπὶ χεῖρα Ἀαρὼν τοῦ λειτουργεῖν ἐν οἴκῳ Κυρίου ἐπὶ τὰς αὐλὰς καὶ ἐπὶ τὰ παστοφρια, καὶ ἐπὶ τὸν καθαρισμὸν τῶν πάντων ἁγίων, καὶ ἐπὶ τὰ ἔργα λειτουργίας τοῦ θεοῦ.

εἰς τοὺς ἄρτους τῆς προθέσεως, εἰς τὴν σεμίδαλιν τῆς θυσίας, καὶ εἰς τὰ λάγανα τὰ ἄζυμα, καὶ εἰς τήγανον, καὶ εἰς τὴν πεφυραμένην, ⁴⁵ καὶ εἰς πᾶν μέτρον·

καὶ τοῦ στῆναι πρωὶ τοῦ αἰνεῖν, ἐξομολογεῖσθαι ⁶ τῷ κυρίῳ, καὶ οὕταωως τὸ ἑσπέρας·

καὶ ἐπὶ πάντων τῶν ἀναφερομένων ὁλοκαυτωμάτων τῷ κυρίῳ ἐν τοῖς σαββάτοις καὶ ἐν ταῖς νεομηνίαις καὶ ἐν ταῖς ἑορταῖς, κατὰ ἀριθμόν, κατὰ τὴν κρίσιν ἐπʼ αὐτοῖς διὰ παντὸς τῷ κυρίῳ.

καὶ φυλάξουσιν τὰς φυλακὰς σκηνῆς τοῦ μαρτυρίου καὶ τὰς φυλακὰς υἱῶν Ἀαρὼν ἀδελφῶν αὐτῶν, τοῦ λειτουργεῖν ἐν οἴκῳ Κυρίου.·

Now David was old and full of days; and he made Solomon his son king over Israel.

He gathered together all the princes of Israel, with the priests and the Levites.

The Levites were numbered from thirty years old and upward: and their number by their polls, man by man, was thirty-eight thousand.

Of these, twenty-four thousand were to oversee the work of the house of Yahweh; and six thousand were officers and judges;

and four thousand were doorkeepers; and four thousand praised Yahweh with the instruments which I made, [said David], to praise therewith.

David divided them into courses according to the sons of Levi: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.

Of the Gershonites: Ladan and Shimei.

The sons of Ladan: Jehiel the chief, and Zetham, and Joel, three.

The sons of Shimei: Shelomoth, and Haziel, and Haran, three. These were the heads of the fathers’ [houses] of Ladan.

The sons of Shimei: Jahath, Zina, and Jeush, and Beriah. These four were the sons of Shimei.

Jahath was the chief, and Zizah the second: but Jeush and Beriah didn’t have many sons; therefore they became a fathers’ house in one reckoning.

The sons of Kohath: Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel, four.

The sons of Amram: Aaron and Moses; and Aaron was separated, that he should sanctify the most holy things, he and his sons, forever, to burn incense before Yahweh, to minister to him, and to bless in his name, forever.

But as for Moses the man of God, his sons were named among the tribe of Levi.

The sons of Moses: Gershom and Eliezer.

The sons of Gershom: Shebuel the chief.

The sons of Eliezer were: Rehabiah the chief; and Eliezer had no other sons; but the sons of Rehabiah were very many.

The sons of Izhar: Shelomith the chief.

The sons of Hebron: Jeriah the chief, Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third, and Jekameam the fourth.

The sons of Uzziel: Micah the chief, and Isshiah the second.

The sons of Merari: Mahli and Mushi. The sons of Mahli: Eleazar and Kish.

Eleazar died, and had no sons, but daughters only: and their brothers the sons of Kish took them [to wife].

The sons of Mushi: Mahli, and Eder, and Jeremoth, three.

These were the sons of Levi after their fathers’ houses, even the heads of the fathers’ [houses] of those of those who were counted, in the number of names by their polls, who did the work for the service of the house of Yahweh, from twenty years old and upward.

For David said, Yahweh, the God of Israel, has given rest to his people; and he dwells in Jerusalem forever:

and also the Levites shall no more have need to carry the tent and all the vessels of it for the service of it.

For by the last words of David the sons of Levi were numbered, from twenty years old and upward.

For their office was to wait on the sons of Aaron for the service of the house of Yahweh, 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;

for the show bread also, and for the fine flour for a meal-offering, whether of unleavened wafers, or of that which is baked in the pan, or of that which is soaked, and for all manner of measure and size;

and to stand every morning to thank and praise Yahweh, and likewise at even;

and to offer all burnt offerings to Yahweh, on the Sabbaths, on the new moons, and on the set feasts, in number according to the ordinance concerning them, continually before Yahweh;

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 Yahweh.
