1 Chronicles 23
1 So when Dauid was olde and full of dayes, he made Salomon his sonne King ouer Israel.
igitur David senex et plenus dierum regem constituit Salomonem filium suum super Israhel
2 And hee gathered together all the princes of Israel with the Priestes and the Leuites.
et congregavit omnes principes Israhel et sacerdotes atque Levitas
3 And the Leuites were numbred from ye age of thirtie yeere and aboue, and their nomber according to their summe was eight and thirtie thousand men.
numeratique sunt Levitae a triginta annis et supra et inventa sunt triginta octo milia virorum
4 Of these foure and twentie thousande were set to aduance the worke of the house of the Lord, and sixe thousand were ouerseers and iudges.
ex his electi sunt et distributi in ministerium domus Domini viginti quattuor milia praepositorum autem et iudicum sex milia
5 And foure thousand were porters, and foure thousande praised the Lord with instruments which he made to praise the Lord.
porro quattuor milia ianitores et totidem psaltae canentes Domino in organis quae fecerat ad canendum

porro filii Semei Ieeth et Ziza et Iaus et Baria isti filii Semei quattuor
11 And Iahath was the chiefe, and Zizah the seconde, but Ieush and Beriah had not many sonnes: therfore they were in the families of their father, counted but as one.
erat autem Ieeth prior Ziza secundus porro Iaus et Baria non habuerunt plurimos filios et idcirco in una familia unaque domo conputati sunt
12 The sonnes of Kohath were Amram, Izhar, Hebron aud Vzziel, foure.

hii filii Levi in cognationibus et familiis suis principes per vices et numerum capitum singulorum qui faciebant opera ministerii domus Domini a viginti annis et supra
25 For Dauid sayde, The Lord God of Israel hath giuen rest vnto his people, that they may dwell in Ierusalem for euer.
dixit enim David requiem dedit Dominus Deus Israhel populo suo et habitationem Hierusalem usque in aeternum
26 And also the Leuites shall no more beare the Tabernacle and al the vessels for the seruice thereof.
nec erit officii Levitarum ut ultra portent tabernaculum et omnia vasa eius ad ministrandum
27 Therefore according to the last wordes of Dauid, the Leuites were nombred from twentie yeere and aboue,
iuxta praecepta quoque David novissima supputabitur numerus filiorum Levi a viginti annis et supra
28 And their office was vnder the hand of the sonnes of Aaron, for the seruice of the house of the Lord in the courtes, and chambers, and in the purifiyng of all holy thinges, and in the worke of the seruice of the house of God,
et erunt sub manu filiorum Aaron in cultum domus Domini in vestibulis et in exedris et in loco purificationis et in sanctuario et in universis operibus ministerii templi Domini
29 Both for the shewbread, and for the fine floure, for the meate offring, and for the vnleauened cakes, and for the fryed things, and for that which was rosted, and for all measures and cise,

32 And that they should keepe the charge of the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and the charge of ye holy place, and the charge of ye sonnes of Aaron their brethren in the seruice of ye house of the Lord.
et custodiant observationes tabernaculi foederis et ritum sanctuarii et observationem filiorum Aaron fratrum suorum ut ministrent in domo Domini
