And Jachath was the chief, and Zizah the second; but Je'ush and Beri'ah had not many sons: therefore were they accounted as one family division in the numbering.

These were the sons of Levi after their family divisions, even the chiefs of the families, as they were counted by numbering the names after their polls, that did the work for the service of the house of the Lord, from twenty years old and upward.
25 David loh, “Israel Pathen BOEIPA loh a pilnam te a duem sak tih Jerusalem ah kumhal due kho a sak.
For David said, The Lord the God of Israel hath given rest unto his people, and he dwelleth in Jerusalem for evermore.
26 Levi te khaw dungtlungim neh a thothuengnah dongkah a hnopai boeih te a koh ham moenih,” a ti.
And also the Levites are no more bound to carry the tabernacle, and all its vessels for the service thereof.
27 David kah hnukkhueng ol dongkah bangla amih Levi koca rhoek kah hlangmi tah tongpa kum kul neh a so hang lamkah ni a tae.
Therefore by the last words of David were there numbered of the Levites those who were from twenty years old and above;

Because their station was to be at the side of the sons of Aaron for the service of the house of the Lord, in the courts, and in the chambers, and by the purification of all holy things, and the work of the service of the house of God;
29 Rhungkung buh dongah khaw, khocang vaidam dongah khaw, vaidamding vaidamrhawm dongah khaw, thiphael dongah khaw, a kae dongah khaw, khoe neh cungnueh boeih dongah khaw omuh.
And for the shew-bread, which was put in rows, 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 sodden, and for all manner of dry and wet measure;
30 Mincang, mincang ah pai tih BOEIPA aka uem ham neh aka thangthen hamla, hlaem ah khaw te tlam te aka thangthen la om uh.
And to stand every morning to thank and praise the Lord, and so also at evening,

And at all the offering of burnt-offerings unto the Lord on the sabbaths, on the new moons, and on the appointed feasts, according to the number, and after the manner prescribed for them, continually before the Lord;
32 Te dongah tingtunnah dap kah a kuek neh hmuencim kah a kuek khaw, BOEIPA im kah thothuengnah dongkah a manuca Aaron koca rhoek kah a kuek khaw a ngaithuen uh.
And that they should keep the charge of the tabernacle of the congregation, and the charge of the sanctuary, and the charge of the sons of Aaron their brethren, in the service of the house of the Lord.
