1 Chronicles 9
1 So all Israel was recorded in the genealogies written in the Book of the Kings of Israel. But Judah was exiled to Babylon because of their unfaithfulness.
| וְכָל־יִשְׂרָאֵל הִתְיַחְשׂוּ וְהִנָּם כְּתוּבִים עַל־סֵפֶר מַלְכֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל וִיהוּדָה הָגְלוּ לְבָבֶל בְּמַעֲלָֽם׃ |
2 Now the first to resettle their own property in their cities were Israelites, priests, Levites, and temple servants.
| וְהַיּוֹשְׁבִים הָרִאשֹׁנִים אֲשֶׁר בַּאֲחֻזָּתָם בְּעָרֵיהֶם יִשְׂרָאֵל הַכֹּהֲנִים הַלְוִיִּם וְהַנְּתִינִֽים׃ |
3 These were some of the descendants of Judah, Benjamin, Ephraim, and Manasseh who lived in Jerusalem:
| וּבִירוּשָׁלִַם יָשְׁבוּ מִן־בְּנֵי יְהוּדָה וּמִן־בְּנֵי בִנְיָמִן וּמִן־בְּנֵי אֶפְרַיִם וּמְנַשֶּֽׁה׃ |
4 Uthai son of Ammihud, the son of Omri, the son of Imri, the son of Bani, a descendant of Perez son of Judah.
| עוּתַי בֶּן־עַמִּיהוּד בֶּן־עָמְרִי בֶּן־אִמְרִי בֶן־בנימן־בָּנִי מִן־בְּנֵי־פֶרֶץ בֶּן־יְהוּדָֽה׃ |
5 From the Shilonites: Asaiah the firstborn and his sons.
| וּמִן־הַשִּׁילוֹנִי עֲשָׂיָה הַבְּכוֹר וּבָנָֽיו׃ |
6 From the Zerahites: Jeuel and 690 relatives.
| וּמִן־בְּנֵי־זֶרַח יְעוּאֵל וַאֲחֵיהֶם שֵׁשׁ־מֵאוֹת וְתִשְׁעִֽים׃ |
7 From the Benjamites: Sallu son of Meshullam, the son of Hodaviah, the son of Hassenuah;
| וּמִן־בְּנֵי בִּנְיָמִן סַלּוּא בֶּן־מְשֻׁלָּם בֶּן־הוֹדַוְיָה בֶּן־הַסְּנֻאָֽה׃ |
8 Ibneiah son of Jeroham; Elah son of Uzzi, the son of Michri; Meshullam son of Shephatiah, the son of Reuel, the son of Ibnijah;
| וְיִבְנְיָה בֶּן־יְרֹחָם וְאֵלָה בֶן־עֻזִּי בֶּן־מִכְרִי וּמְשֻׁלָּם בֶּן־שְׁפַטְיָה בֶּן־רְעוּאֵל בֶּן־יִבְנִיָּֽה׃ |
9 and 956 of their relatives according to their genealogy. All these men were heads of their families.
| וַאֲחֵיהֶם לְתֹלְדוֹתָם תְּשַׁע מֵאוֹת וַחֲמִשִּׁים וְשִׁשָּׁה כָּל־אֵלֶּה אֲנָשִׁים רָאשֵׁי אָבוֹת לְבֵית אֲבֹתֵיהֶֽם׃ |
10 From the priests: Jedaiah, Jehoiarib, and Jachin;
| וּמִן־הַֽכֹּהֲנִים יְדַֽעְיָה וִיהוֹיָרִיב וְיָכִֽין׃ |
11 Azariah son of Hilkiah, the son of Meshullam, the son of Zadok, the son of Meraioth, the son of Ahitub, the chief official of God’s temple;
| וַעֲזַרְיָה בֶן־חִלְקִיָּה בֶּן־מְשֻׁלָּם בֶּן־צָדוֹק בֶּן־מְרָיוֹת בֶּן־אֲחִיטוּב נְגִיד בֵּית הָאֱלֹהִֽים׃ |
12 Adaiah son of Jeroham, the son of Pashhur, the son of Malchijah; Maasai son of Adiel, the son of Jahzerah, the son of Meshullam, the son of Meshillemith, the son of Immer;
| וַעֲדָיָה בֶּן־יְרֹחָם בֶּן־פַּשְׁחוּר בֶּן־מַלְכִּיָּה וּמַעְשַׂי בֶּן־עֲדִיאֵל בֶּן־יַחְזֵרָה בֶּן־מְשֻׁלָּם בֶּן־מְשִׁלֵּמִית בֶּן־אִמֵּֽר׃ |
13 and 1,760 of their relatives, the heads of their families, able men for the work of the service of the house of God.
| וַאֲחֵיהֶם רָאשִׁים לְבֵית אֲבוֹתָם אֶלֶף וּשְׁבַע מֵאוֹת וְשִׁשִּׁים גִּבּוֹרֵי חֵיל מְלֶאכֶת עֲבוֹדַת בֵּית־הָאֱלֹהִֽים׃ |
14 From the Levites: Shemaiah son of Hasshub, the son of Azrikam, the son of Hashabiah, a descendant of Merari;
| וּמִֽן־הַלְוִיִּם שְׁמַֽעְיָה בֶן־חַשּׁוּב בֶּן־עַזְרִיקָם בֶּן־חֲשַׁבְיָה מִן־בְּנֵי מְרָרִֽי׃ |
15 Bakbakkar, Heresh, Galal, and Mattaniah son of Mica, the son of Zichri, the son of Asaph;
| וּבַקְבַּקַּר חֶרֶשׁ וְגָלָל וּמַתַּנְיָה בֶּן־מִיכָא בֶּן־זִכְרִי בֶּן־אָסָֽף׃ |
16 Obadiah son of Shemaiah, the son of Galal, the son of Jeduthun; and Berechiah son of Asa, the son of Elkanah, who lived in the villages of the Netophathites.
| וְעֹבַדְיָה בֶּֽן־שְׁמַֽעְיָה בֶּן־גָּלָל בֶּן־יְדוּתוּן וּבֶרֶכְיָה בֶן־אָסָא בֶּן־אֶלְקָנָה הַיּוֹשֵׁב בְּחַצְרֵי נְטוֹפָתִֽי׃ |
17 These were the gatekeepers: Shallum, Akkub, Talmon, Ahiman, and their relatives. Shallum was their chief;
| וְהַשֹּׁעֲרִים שַׁלּוּם וְעַקּוּב וְטַלְמֹן וַאֲחִימָן וַאֲחִיהֶם שַׁלּוּם הָרֹֽאשׁ׃ |
18 he was previously stationed at the King’s Gate on the east side. These were the gatekeepers from the camp of the Levites.
| וְֽעַד־הֵנָּה בְּשַׁעַר הַמֶּלֶךְ מִזְרָחָה הֵמָּה הַשֹּׁעֲרִים לְמַחֲנוֹת בְּנֵי לֵוִֽי׃ |
19 Shallum son of Kore, the son of Ebiasaph, the son of Korah, and his relatives from the Korahites were assigned to guard the thresholds of the Tent, just as their fathers had been assigned to guard the entrance to the dwelling of the LORD.
| וְשַׁלּוּם בֶּן־קוֹרֵא בֶּן־אֶבְיָסָף בֶּן־קֹרַח וְֽאֶחָיו לְבֵית־אָבִיו הַקָּרְחִים עַל מְלֶאכֶת הָעֲבוֹדָה שֹׁמְרֵי הַסִּפִּים לָאֹהֶל וַאֲבֹֽתֵיהֶם עַל־מַחֲנֵה יְהוָה שֹׁמְרֵי הַמָּבֽוֹא׃ |
20 In earlier times Phinehas son of Eleazar had been in charge of the gatekeepers, and the LORD was with him.
| וּפִֽינְחָס בֶּן־אֶלְעָזָר נָגִיד הָיָה עֲלֵיהֶם לְפָנִים יְהוָה ׀ עִמּֽוֹ׃ |
21 Zechariah son of Meshelemiah was the gatekeeper at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.
| זְכַרְיָה בֶּן מְשֶֽׁלֶמְיָה שֹׁעֵר פֶּתַח לְאֹהֶל מוֹעֵֽד׃ |
22 The number of those chosen to be gatekeepers at the thresholds was 212. They were registered by genealogy in their villages. David and Samuel the seer had appointed them to their positions of trust.
| כֻּלָּם הַבְּרוּרִים לְשֹׁעֲרִים בַּסִּפִּים מָאתַיִם וּשְׁנֵים עָשָׂר הֵמָּה בְחַצְרֵיהֶם הִתְיַחְשָׂם הֵמָּה יִסַּד דָּוִיד וּשְׁמוּאֵל הָרֹאֶה בֶּאֱמוּנָתָֽם׃ |
23 So they and their descendants were assigned to guard the gates of the house of the LORD—the house called the Tent.
| וְהֵם וּבְנֵיהֶם עַל־הַשְּׁעָרִים לְבֵית־יְהוָה לְבֵית־הָאֹהֶל לְמִשְׁמָרֽוֹת׃ |
24 The gatekeepers were stationed on the four sides: east, west, north, and south.
| לְאַרְבַּע רוּחוֹת יִהְיוּ הַשֹּׁעֲרִים מִזְרָח יָמָּה צָפוֹנָה וָנֶֽגְבָּה׃ |
25 Their relatives came from their villages at fixed times to serve with them for seven-day periods.
| וַאֲחֵיהֶם בְּחַצְרֵיהֶם לָבוֹא לְשִׁבְעַת הַיָּמִים מֵעֵת אֶל־עֵת עִם־אֵֽלֶּה׃ |
26 But the four chief gatekeepers, who were Levites, were entrusted with the rooms and the treasuries of the house of God.
| כִּי בֶאֱמוּנָה הֵמָּה אַרְבַּעַת גִּבֹּרֵי הַשֹּׁעֲרִים הֵם הַלְוִיִּם וְהָיוּ עַל־הַלְּשָׁכוֹת וְעַל הָאֹצְרוֹת בֵּית הָאֱלֹהִֽים׃ |
27 They would spend the night stationed around the house of God, because they were responsible for guarding it and opening it every morning.
| וּסְבִיבוֹת בֵּית־הָאֱלֹהִים יָלִינוּ כִּֽי־עֲלֵיהֶם מִשְׁמֶרֶת וְהֵם עַל־הַמַּפְתֵּחַ וְלַבֹּקֶר לַבֹּֽקֶר׃ |
28 Some of them were in charge of the articles used in worship, to count them whenever they were brought in or taken out.
| וּמֵהֶם עַל־כְּלֵי הָעֲבוֹדָה כִּֽי־בְמִסְפָּר יְבִיאוּם וּבְמִסְפָּר יוֹצִיאֽוּם׃ |
29 Others were put in charge of the furnishings and other articles of the sanctuary, as well as the fine flour, wine, oil, frankincense, and spices.
| וּמֵהֶם מְמֻנִּים עַל־הַכֵּלִים וְעַל כָּל־כְּלֵי הַקֹּדֶשׁ וְעַל־הַסֹּלֶת וְהַיַּיִן וְהַשֶּׁמֶן וְהַלְּבוֹנָה וְהַבְּשָׂמִֽים׃ |
30 And some of the sons of the priests mixed the spices.
| וּמִן־בְּנֵי הַכֹּהֲנִים רֹקְחֵי הַמִּרְקַחַת לַבְּשָׂמִֽים׃ |
31 A Levite named Mattithiah, the firstborn son of Shallum the Korahite, was entrusted with baking the bread.
| וּמַתִּתְיָה מִן־הַלְוִיִּם הוּא הַבְּכוֹר לְשַׁלֻּם הַקָּרְחִי בֶּאֱמוּנָה עַל מַעֲשֵׂה הַחֲבִתִּֽים׃ |
32 Some of their Kohathite brothers were responsible for preparing the rows of the showbread every Sabbath.
| וּמִן־בְּנֵי הַקְּהָתִי מִן־אֲחֵיהֶם עַל־לֶחֶם הַֽמַּעֲרָכֶת לְהָכִין שַׁבַּת שַׁבָּֽת׃ |
33 Those who were musicians, the heads of Levite families, stayed in the temple chambers and were exempt from other duties because they were on duty day and night.
| וְאֵלֶּה הַמְשֹׁרְרִים רָאשֵׁי אָבוֹת לַלְוִיִּם בַּלְּשָׁכֹת פטירים פְּטוּרִים כִּֽי־יוֹמָם וָלַיְלָה עֲלֵיהֶם בַּמְּלָאכָֽה׃ |
34 All these were heads of Levite families, chiefs according to their genealogies, and they lived in Jerusalem.
| אֵלֶּה רָאשֵׁי הָאָבוֹת לַלְוִיִּם לְתֹלְדוֹתָם רָאשִׁים אֵלֶּה יָשְׁבוּ בִירוּשָׁלָֽ͏ִם׃ |
35 Jeiel the father of Gibeon lived in Gibeon. His wife’s name was Maacah.
| וּבְגִבְעוֹן יָשְׁבוּ אֲבִֽי־גִבְעוֹן יעואל יְעִיאֵל וְשֵׁם אִשְׁתּוֹ מַעֲכָֽה׃ |
36 Abdon was his firstborn son, then Zur, Kish, Baal, Ner, Nadab,
| וּבְנוֹ הַבְּכוֹר עַבְדּוֹן וְצוּר וְקִישׁ וּבַעַל וְנֵר וְנָדָֽב׃ |
37 Gedor, Ahio, Zechariah, and Mikloth.
| וּגְדוֹר וְאַחְיוֹ וּזְכַרְיָה וּמִקְלֽוֹת׃ |
38 Mikloth was the father of Shimeam. They too lived alongside their relatives in Jerusalem.
| וּמִקְלוֹת הוֹלִיד אֶת־שִׁמְאָם וְאַף־הֵם נֶגֶד אֲחֵיהֶם יָשְׁבוּ בִירֽוּשָׁלַ͏ִם עִם־אֲחֵיהֶֽם׃ |
39 Ner was the father of Kish, Kish was the father of Saul, and Saul was the father of Jonathan, Malchishua, Abinadab, and Esh-baal.
| וְנֵר הוֹלִיד אֶת־קִישׁ וְקִישׁ הוֹלִיד אֶת־שָׁאוּל וְשָׁאוּל הוֹלִיד אֶת־יְהֽוֹנָתָן וְאֶת־מַלְכִּי־שׁוּעַ וְאֶת־אֲבִינָדָב וְאֶת־אֶשְׁבָּֽעַל׃ |
40 The son of Jonathan: Merib-baal, who was the father of Micah.
| וּבֶן־יְהוֹנָתָן מְרִיב בָּעַל וּמְרִי־בַעַל הוֹלִיד אֶת־מִיכָֽה׃ |
41 The sons of Micah: Pithon, Melech, Tahrea, and Ahaz.
| וּבְנֵי מִיכָה פִּיתוֹן וָמֶלֶךְ וְתַחְרֵֽעַ׃ |
42 Ahaz was the father of Jarah; Jarah was the father of Alemeth, Azmaveth, and Zimri; and Zimri was the father of Moza.
| וְאָחָז הוֹלִיד אֶת־יַעְרָה וְיַעְרָה הוֹלִיד אֶת־עָלֶמֶת וְאֶת־עַזְמָוֶת וְאֶת־זִמְרִי וְזִמְרִי הוֹלִיד אֶת־מוֹצָֽא׃ |
43 Moza was the father of Binea. Rephaiah was his son, Elasah his son, and Azel his son.
| וּמוֹצָא הוֹלִיד אֶת־בִּנְעָא וּרְפָיָה בְנוֹ אֶלְעָשָׂה בְנוֹ אָצֵל בְּנֽוֹ׃ |
44 And Azel had six sons, and these were their names: Azrikam, Bocheru, Ishmael, Sheariah, Obadiah, and Hanan. These were the sons of Azel.
| וּלְאָצֵל שִׁשָּׁה בָנִים וְאֵלֶּה שְׁמוֹתָם עַזְרִיקָם ׀ בֹּכְרוּ וְיִשְׁמָעֵאל וּשְׁעַרְיָה וְעֹבַדְיָה וְחָנָן אֵלֶּה בְּנֵי אָצַֽל׃ |
