< Chronicles I 23 >

1 And David was old and full of days; and he made Solomon his son king over Israel in his stead.
וְדָוִיד זָקֵן וְשָׂבַע יָמִים וַיַּמְלֵךְ אֶת־שְׁלֹמֹה בְנוֹ עַל־יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃
2 And he assembled all the chief men of Israel, and the priests, and the Levites.
וַיֶּֽאֱסֹף אֶת־כׇּל־שָׂרֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל וְהַכֹּהֲנִים וְהַלְוִיִּֽם׃
3 And the Levites numbered [themselves] from thirty years old and upward; and their number by their polls amounted to thirty and eight thousand men.
וַיִּסָּֽפְרוּ הַלְוִיִּם מִבֶּן שְׁלֹשִׁים שָׁנָה וָמָעְלָה וַיְהִי מִסְפָּרָם לְגֻלְגְּלֹתָם לִגְבָרִים שְׁלֹשִׁים וּשְׁמוֹנָה אָֽלֶף׃
4 Of the overseers over the works of the house of the Lord [there were] twenty-four thousand, and [there were] six thousand scribes and judges;
מֵאֵלֶּה לְנַצֵּחַ עַל־מְלֶאכֶת בֵּית־יְהֹוָה עֶשְׂרִים וְאַרְבָּעָה אָלֶף וְשֹׁטְרִים וְשֹׁפְטִים שֵׁשֶׁת אֲלָפִֽים׃
5 and four thousand door-keepers, and four thousand to praise the Lord with instruments which he made to praise the Lord.
וְאַרְבַּעַת אֲלָפִים שֹׁעֲרִים וְאַרְבַּעַת אֲלָפִים מְהַֽלְלִים לַיהֹוָה בַּכֵּלִים אֲשֶׁר עָשִׂיתִי לְהַלֵּֽל׃
6 And David divided them [into] daily courses, for the sons of Levi, for Gedson, Caath, and Merari.
וַיֶּחָלְקֵם דָּוִיד מַחְלְקוֹת לִבְנֵי לֵוִי לְגֵרְשׁוֹן קְהָת וּמְרָרִֽי׃
7 And for [the family of] Gedson, Edan, and Semei.
לַגֵּרְשֻׁנִּי לַעְדָּן וְשִׁמְעִֽי׃
8 The sons of Edan [were] Jeiel, the chief, and Zethan, and Joel, three.
בְּנֵי לַעְדָּן הָרֹאשׁ יְחִיאֵל וְזֵתָם וְיוֹאֵל שְׁלֹשָֽׁה׃
9 The sons of Semei; Salomith, Jeiel, and Dan, three: these [were] the chiefs of the families of Edan.
בְּנֵי שִׁמְעִי (שלמות) [שְׁלֹמִית] וַחֲזִיאֵל וְהָרָן שְׁלֹשָׁה אֵלֶּה רָאשֵׁי הָאָבוֹת לְלַעְדָּֽן׃
10 And to the sons of Semei, Jeth, and Ziza, and Joas, and Beria: these [were] the four sons of Semei.
וּבְנֵי שִׁמְעִי יַחַת זִינָא וִיעוּשׁ וּבְרִיעָה אֵלֶּה בְנֵֽי־שִׁמְעִי אַרְבָּעָֽה׃
11 And Jeth was the chief, and Ziza the second: and Joas and Beria did not multiply sons, and they became [only] one reckoning according to the house of their father.
וַיְהִי־יַחַת הָרֹאשׁ וְזִיזָה הַשֵּׁנִי וִיעוּשׁ וּבְרִיעָה לֹא־הִרְבּוּ בָנִים וַיִּֽהְיוּ לְבֵית אָב לִפְקֻדָּה אֶחָֽת׃
12 The sons of Caath; Ambram, Isaar, Chebron, Oziel, four.
בְּנֵי קְהָת עַמְרָם יִצְהָר חֶבְרוֹן וְעֻזִּיאֵל אַרְבָּעָֽה׃
13 The sons of Ambram; Aaron and Moses: and Aaron was appointed for the consecration of the most holy things, he and his sons for ever, to burn incense before the Lord, to minister and bless in his name for ever.
בְּנֵי עַמְרָם אַהֲרֹן וּמֹשֶׁה וַיִּבָּדֵל אַהֲרֹן לְֽהַקְדִּישׁוֹ קֹדֶשׁ קׇדָשִׁים הֽוּא־וּבָנָיו עַד־עוֹלָם לְהַקְטִיר לִפְנֵי יְהֹוָה לְשָׁרְתוֹ וּלְבָרֵךְ בִּשְׁמוֹ עַד־עוֹלָֽם׃
14 And [as for] Moses the man of God, his sons were reckoned to the tribe of Levi.
וּמֹשֶׁה אִישׁ הָאֱלֹהִים בָּנָיו יִקָּרְאוּ עַל־שֵׁבֶט הַלֵּוִֽי׃
15 The sons of Moses; Gersam, and Eliezer.
בְּנֵי מֹשֶׁה גֵּרְשׁוֹם וֶאֱלִיעֶֽזֶר׃
16 The sons of Gersam; Subael the chief.
בְּנֵי גֵרְשׁוֹם שְׁבוּאֵל הָרֹֽאשׁ׃
17 And the sons of Eliezer were, Rabia the chief: and Eliezer had no other sons; but the sons of Rabia were very greatly multiplied.
וַיִּהְיוּ בְנֵֽי־אֱלִיעֶזֶר רְחַבְיָה הָרֹאשׁ וְלֹא־הָיָה לֶֽאֱלִיעֶזֶר בָּנִים אֲחֵרִים וּבְנֵי רְחַבְיָה רָבוּ לְמָֽעְלָה׃
18 The sons of Isaar; Salomoth the chief.
בְּנֵי יִצְהָר שְׁלֹמִית הָרֹֽאשׁ׃
19 The sons of Chebron; Jeria the chief, Amaria the second, Jeziel the third, Jekemias the fourth.
בְּנֵי חֶבְרוֹן יְרִיָּהוּ הָרֹאשׁ אֲמַרְיָה הַשֵּׁנִי יַֽחֲזִיאֵל הַשְּׁלִישִׁי וִֽיקַמְעָם הָרְבִיעִֽי׃
20 The sons of Oziel; Micha the chief, and Isia the second.
בְּנֵי עֻזִּיאֵל מִיכָה הָרֹאשׁ וְיִשִּׁיָּה הַשֵּׁנִֽי׃
21 The sons of Merari; Mooli, and Musi: the sons of Mooli; Eleazar, and Kis.
בְּנֵי מְרָרִי מַחְלִי וּמוּשִׁי בְּנֵי מַחְלִי אֶלְעָזָר וְקִֽישׁ׃
22 And Eleazar died, and he had no sons, but daughters: and the sons of Kis, their brethren, took them.
וַיָּמׇת אֶלְעָזָר וְלֹא־הָיוּ לוֹ בָּנִים כִּי אִם־בָּנוֹת וַיִּשָּׂאוּם בְּנֵי־קִישׁ אֲחֵיהֶֽם׃
23 The sons of Musi; Mooli, and Eder, and Jarimoth, three.
בְּנֵי מוּשִׁי מַחְלִי וְעֵדֶר וִירֵמוֹת שְׁלוֹשָֽׁה׃
24 These [are] the sons of Levi according to the houses of their fathers; chiefs of their families according to their numbering, according to the number of their names, according to their polls, doing the works of service of the house of the Lord, from twenty years old and upward.
אֵלֶּה בְנֵֽי־לֵוִי לְבֵית אֲבוֹתֵיהֶם רָאשֵׁי הָאָבוֹת לִפְקוּדֵיהֶם בְּמִסְפַּר שֵׁמוֹת לְגֻלְגְּלֹתָם עֹשֵׂה הַמְּלָאכָה לַעֲבֹדַת בֵּית יְהֹוָה מִבֶּן עֶשְׂרִים שָׁנָה וָמָֽעְלָה׃
25 For David said, The Lord God of Israel has given rest to his people, and has taken up his abode in Jerusalem for ever.
כִּי אָמַר דָּוִיד הֵנִיחַ יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהֵֽי־יִשְׂרָאֵל לְעַמּוֹ וַיִּשְׁכֹּן בִּירוּשָׁלַ͏ִם עַד־לְעוֹלָֽם׃
26 And the Levites bore not the tabernacle, and all the vessels of it for its service.
וְגַם לַלְוִיִּם אֵין־לָשֵׂאת אֶת־הַמִּשְׁכָּן וְאֶת־כׇּל־כֵּלָיו לַעֲבֹדָתֽוֹ׃
27 For by the last words of David was the number of the Levites [taken] from twenty years old and upward.
כִּי בְדִבְרֵי דָוִיד הָאַחֲרוֹנִים הֵמָּה מִסְפַּר בְּנֵֽי־לֵוִי מִבֶּן עֶשְׂרִים שָׁנָה וּלְמָֽעְלָה׃
28 For he appointed them to wait on Aaron, to minister in the house of the Lord, over the courts, and over the chambers, and over the purification of all the holy things, and over the works of the service of the house of God;
כִּי מַעֲמָדָם לְיַד־בְּנֵי אַהֲרֹן לַֽעֲבֹדַת בֵּית יְהֹוָה עַל־הַֽחֲצֵרוֹת וְעַל־הַלְּשָׁכוֹת וְעַֽל־טׇהֳרַת לְכׇל־קֹדֶשׁ וּמַֽעֲשֵׂה עֲבֹדַת בֵּית הָאֱלֹהִֽים׃
29 and for the shew-bread, and for the fine flour of the meat-offering, and for the unleavened cakes, and for the fried cake, and for the dough, and for every measure;
וּלְלֶחֶם הַֽמַּעֲרֶכֶת וּלְסֹלֶת לְמִנְחָה וְלִרְקִיקֵי הַמַּצּוֹת וְלַֽמַּחֲבַת וְלַמֻּרְבָּכֶת וּלְכׇל־מְשׂוּרָה וּמִדָּֽה׃
30 and to stand in the morning to praise and give thanks to the Lord, and so in the evening;
וְלַֽעֲמֹד בַּבֹּקֶר בַּבֹּקֶר לְהֹדוֹת וּלְהַלֵּל לַֽיהֹוָה וְכֵן לָעָֽרֶב׃
31 and [to be] over all the whole-burnt-offerings that were offered up to the Lord on the sabbaths, and at the new moons, and at the feasts, by number, according to the order [given] to them, continually before the Lord.
וּלְכֹל הַעֲלוֹת עֹלוֹת לַֽיהֹוָה לַשַּׁבָּתוֹת לֶחֳדָשִׁים וְלַמֹּעֲדִים בְּמִסְפָּר כְּמִשְׁפָּט עֲלֵיהֶם תָּמִיד לִפְנֵי יְהֹוָֽה׃
32 And they are to keep the charge of the tabernacle of witness, and the charge of the holy place, and the charges of the sons of Aaron their brethren, to minister in the house of the Lord.
וְשָׁמְרוּ אֶת־מִשְׁמֶרֶת אֹֽהֶל־מוֹעֵד וְאֵת מִשְׁמֶרֶת הַקֹּדֶשׁ וּמִשְׁמֶרֶת בְּנֵי אַהֲרֹן אֲחֵיהֶם לַעֲבֹדַת בֵּית יְהֹוָֽה׃
