דברי הימים א 23
| וְדָוִיד זָקֵן וְשָׂבַע יָמִים וַיַּמְלֵךְ אֶת־שְׁלֹמֹה בְנוֹ עַל־יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃ | 1 |
Now, David, was old, and satisfied with days, —so he made Solomon his son king, over Israel;
| וַיֶּֽאֱסֹף אֶת־כׇּל־שָׂרֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל וְהַכֹּהֲנִים וְהַלְוִיִּֽם׃ | 2 |
and gathered together all the rulers of Israel, with the priests, and the Levites.
| וַיִּסָּֽפְרוּ הַלְוִיִּם מִבֶּן שְׁלֹשִׁים שָׁנָה וָמָעְלָה וַיְהִי מִסְפָּרָם לְגֻלְגְּלֹתָם לִגְבָרִים שְׁלֹשִׁים וּשְׁמוֹנָה אָֽלֶף׃ | 3 |
Now the Levites were numbered, from thirty years old and upwards, —and their number by their polls, of mature men, was thirty-eight thousand.
| מֵאֵלֶּה לְנַצֵּחַ עַל־מְלֶאכֶת בֵּית־יְהֹוָה עֶשְׂרִים וְאַרְבָּעָה אָלֶף וְשֹׁטְרִים וְשֹׁפְטִים שֵׁשֶׁת אֲלָפִֽים׃ | 4 |
Of these—to preside over the work of the house of Yahweh, were twenty-four thousand, —and officers and judges, six thousand;
| וְאַרְבַּעַת אֲלָפִים שֹׁעֲרִים וְאַרְבַּעַת אֲלָפִים מְהַֽלְלִים לַיהֹוָה בַּכֵּלִים אֲשֶׁר עָשִׂיתִי לְהַלֵּֽל׃ | 5 |
and four thousand, were doorkeepers, —and, four thousand, were offerers of praise unto Yahweh, with instruments, which [said David] I made for offering praise.
| וַיֶּחָלְקֵם דָּוִיד מַחְלְקוֹת לִבְנֵי לֵוִי לְגֵרְשׁוֹן קְהָת וּמְרָרִֽי׃ | 6 |
And David divided them into courses, —pertaining to the sons of Levi, to Gershon, Kohath and Merari.
| לַגֵּרְשֻׁנִּי לַעְדָּן וְשִׁמְעִֽי׃ | 7 |
Of the Gershonites, Ladan and Shimei.
| בְּנֵי לַעְדָּן הָרֹאשׁ יְחִיאֵל וְזֵתָם וְיוֹאֵל שְׁלֹשָֽׁה׃ | 8 |
The sons of Ladan, the chief Jehiel, and Zetham and Joel, three.
| בְּנֵי שִׁמְעִי (שלמות) [שְׁלֹמִית] וַחֲזִיאֵל וְהָרָן שְׁלֹשָׁה אֵלֶּה רָאשֵׁי הָאָבוֹת לְלַעְדָּֽן׃ | 9 |
The sons of Shimei, Shelomoth and Haziel and Haran, three, —these, were the ancestral chiefs of Ladan.
| וּבְנֵי שִׁמְעִי יַחַת זִינָא וִיעוּשׁ וּבְרִיעָה אֵלֶּה בְנֵֽי־שִׁמְעִי אַרְבָּעָֽה׃ | 10 |
And, the sons of Shimei, Jahath, Zina, and Jeush, and Beriah, —these, were the sons of Shimei, four.
| וַיְהִי־יַחַת הָרֹאשׁ וְזִיזָה הַשֵּׁנִי וִיעוּשׁ וּבְרִיעָה לֹא־הִרְבּוּ בָנִים וַיִּֽהְיוּ לְבֵית אָב לִפְקֻדָּה אֶחָֽת׃ | 11 |
And Jahath was chief, and Zizah the second, —but, Jeush and Beriah, had not many sons, so they became an ancestral house, by one reckoning.
| בְּנֵי קְהָת עַמְרָם יִצְהָר חֶבְרוֹן וְעֻזִּיאֵל אַרְבָּעָֽה׃ | 12 |
The sons of Kohath, Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel, four.
| בְּנֵי עַמְרָם אַהֲרֹן וּמֹשֶׁה וַיִּבָּדֵל אַהֲרֹן לְֽהַקְדִּישׁוֹ קֹדֶשׁ קׇדָשִׁים הֽוּא־וּבָנָיו עַד־עוֹלָם לְהַקְטִיר לִפְנֵי יְהֹוָה לְשָׁרְתוֹ וּלְבָרֵךְ בִּשְׁמוֹ עַד־עוֹלָֽם׃ | 13 |
The sons of Amram, Aaron and Moses, —and Aaron was separated, to hallow the holy of holies, he and his sons, unto times age-abiding, to make a perfume before Yahweh, to be in attendance upon him, and to bless in his name, unto times age-abiding;
| וּמֹשֶׁה אִישׁ הָאֱלֹהִים בָּנָיו יִקָּרְאוּ עַל־שֵׁבֶט הַלֵּוִֽי׃ | 14 |
and, as for Moses, the man of God, his sons, were called unto the tribe of Levi.
| בְּנֵי מֹשֶׁה גֵּרְשׁוֹם וֶאֱלִיעֶֽזֶר׃ | 15 |
The sons of Moses, were Gershom, and Eliezer.
| בְּנֵי גֵרְשׁוֹם שְׁבוּאֵל הָרֹֽאשׁ׃ | 16 |
the sons of Gershom, were Shebuel the chief;
| וַיִּהְיוּ בְנֵֽי־אֱלִיעֶזֶר רְחַבְיָה הָרֹאשׁ וְלֹא־הָיָה לֶֽאֱלִיעֶזֶר בָּנִים אֲחֵרִים וּבְנֵי רְחַבְיָה רָבוּ לְמָֽעְלָה׃ | 17 |
and the sons of Eliezer were Rehabiah the chief, —and Eliezer had no other sons, but, the sons of Rehabiah, were very many.
| בְּנֵי יִצְהָר שְׁלֹמִית הָרֹֽאשׁ׃ | 18 |
The sons of Izhar, Shelomith the chief.
| בְּנֵי חֶבְרוֹן יְרִיָּהוּ הָרֹאשׁ אֲמַרְיָה הַשֵּׁנִי יַֽחֲזִיאֵל הַשְּׁלִישִׁי וִֽיקַמְעָם הָרְבִיעִֽי׃ | 19 |
The sons of Hebron, Jeriah the chief, Amariah the second, Jehaziel the third, and Jekameam the fourth.
| בְּנֵי עֻזִּיאֵל מִיכָה הָרֹאשׁ וְיִשִּׁיָּה הַשֵּׁנִֽי׃ | 20 |
The sons of Uzziel, Micah the chief, and Isshiah the second.
| בְּנֵי מְרָרִי מַחְלִי וּמוּשִׁי בְּנֵי מַחְלִי אֶלְעָזָר וְקִֽישׁ׃ | 21 |
The sons of Merari, were Mahli and Mushi. The sons of Mahli, were Eleazar and Kish.
| וַיָּמׇת אֶלְעָזָר וְלֹא־הָיוּ לוֹ בָּנִים כִּי אִם־בָּנוֹת וַיִּשָּׂאוּם בְּנֵי־קִישׁ אֲחֵיהֶֽם׃ | 22 |
But Eleazar died, and had no sons, but daughters only, —and so the sons of Kish their brethren took them.
| בְּנֵי מוּשִׁי מַחְלִי וְעֵדֶר וִירֵמוֹת שְׁלוֹשָֽׁה׃ | 23 |
The sons of Mushi, were Mahli and Eder and Jeremoth, three.
| אֵלֶּה בְנֵֽי־לֵוִי לְבֵית אֲבוֹתֵיהֶם רָאשֵׁי הָאָבוֹת לִפְקוּדֵיהֶם בְּמִסְפַּר שֵׁמוֹת לְגֻלְגְּלֹתָם עֹשֵׂה הַמְּלָאכָה לַעֲבֹדַת בֵּית יְהֹוָה מִבֶּן עֶשְׂרִים שָׁנָה וָמָֽעְלָה׃ | 24 |
These, were the sons of Levi by their ancestral house, the ancestral chiefs of them who were counted in the number of their names, by their polls, doing the work, for the service of the house of Yahweh, —from twenty years old, and upwards.
| כִּי אָמַר דָּוִיד הֵנִיחַ יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהֵֽי־יִשְׂרָאֵל לְעַמּוֹ וַיִּשְׁכֹּן בִּירוּשָׁלַ͏ִם עַד־לְעוֹלָֽם׃ | 25 |
For, said David, Yahweh the God of Israel hath given rest unto his people, —and hath taken up his habitation in Jerusalem, unto times age-abiding;
| וְגַם לַלְוִיִּם אֵין־לָשֵׂאת אֶת־הַמִּשְׁכָּן וְאֶת־כׇּל־כֵּלָיו לַעֲבֹדָתֽוֹ׃ | 26 |
moreover also, as for the Levites, they have no need to bear the habitation, nor any of its vessels in the laborious work thereof.
| כִּי בְדִבְרֵי דָוִיד הָאַחֲרוֹנִים הֵמָּה מִסְפַּר בְּנֵֽי־לֵוִי מִבֶּן עֶשְׂרִים שָׁנָה וּלְמָֽעְלָה׃ | 27 |
For, by the last words of David, the same, were the number of the sons of Levi, —from twenty years old, and upwards.
| כִּי מַעֲמָדָם לְיַד־בְּנֵי אַהֲרֹן לַֽעֲבֹדַת בֵּית יְהֹוָה עַל־הַֽחֲצֵרוֹת וְעַל־הַלְּשָׁכוֹת וְעַֽל־טׇהֳרַת לְכׇל־קֹדֶשׁ וּמַֽעֲשֵׂה עֲבֹדַת בֵּית הָאֱלֹהִֽים׃ | 28 |
For, their duty, was—to be in attendance upon the sons of Aaron, in the laborious work of the house of Yahweh, over the courts, and over the chambers, and over the purifying of everything holy, —and doing the laborious work, of the house of God;
| וּלְלֶחֶם הַֽמַּעֲרֶכֶת וּלְסֹלֶת לְמִנְחָה וְלִרְקִיקֵי הַמַּצּוֹת וְלַֽמַּחֲבַת וְלַמֻּרְבָּכֶת וּלְכׇל־מְשׂוּרָה וּמִדָּֽה׃ | 29 |
and for the bread set in array, and for the fine meal for the meal-offering, and for the unleavened cakes, even for that which is baked in a pan, for the moistened food, —even of every measure, and size;
| וְלַֽעֲמֹד בַּבֹּקֶר בַּבֹּקֶר לְהֹדוֹת וּלְהַלֵּל לַֽיהֹוָה וְכֵן לָעָֽרֶב׃ | 30 |
and to stand, morning by morning, to give thanks and offer praise unto Yahweh, —and, likewise, at even;
| וּלְכֹל הַעֲלוֹת עֹלוֹת לַֽיהֹוָה לַשַּׁבָּתוֹת לֶחֳדָשִׁים וְלַמֹּעֲדִים בְּמִסְפָּר כְּמִשְׁפָּט עֲלֵיהֶם תָּמִיד לִפְנֵי יְהֹוָֽה׃ | 31 |
and for all the offering of ascending-sacrifices unto Yahweh, on the sabbaths, and on the new moons, and on the set feasts, —by number, according to the manner prescribed for them continually, before Yahweh; —
| וְשָׁמְרוּ אֶת־מִשְׁמֶרֶת אֹֽהֶל־מוֹעֵד וְאֵת מִשְׁמֶרֶת הַקֹּדֶשׁ וּמִשְׁמֶרֶת בְּנֵי אַהֲרֹן אֲחֵיהֶם לַעֲבֹדַת בֵּית יְהֹוָֽה׃ | 32 |
and they shall keep the charge of the tent of meeting, and the charge of the holy place, and the charge of the sons of Aaron, their brethren, —in the laborious work of the house of Yahweh.
