The families H4940 of the Gershonites H1649 shall pitch H2583 behind H310 the tabernacle H4908 westward. H3220

And the charge H4931 of the sons H1121 of Gershon H1647 in the tabernacle H168 of the congregation H4150 shall be the tabernacle, H4908 and the tent, H168 the covering H4372 thereof, and the hanging H4539 for the door H6607 of the tabernacle H168 of the congregation, H4150

And of Kohath H6955 was the family H4940 of the Amramites, H6020 and the family H4940 of the Izeharites, H3325 and the family H4940 of the Hebronites, H2276 and the family H4940 of the Uzzielites: H5817 these H428 are the families H4940 of the Kohathites. H6956

The families H4940 of the sons H1121 of Kohath H6955 shall pitch H2583 on H5921 the side H3409 of the tabernacle H4908 southward. H8486

And their charge H4931 shall be the ark, H727 and the table, H7979 and the candlestick, H4501 and the altars, H4196 and the vessels H3627 of the sanctuary H6944 with which H834 they minister, H8334 and the hanging, H4539 and all H3605 the service H5656 thereof.

Of Merari H4847 was the family H4940 of the Mahlites, H4250 and the family H4940 of the Mushites: H4188 these H428 are the families H4940 of Merari. H4847

And the chief H5387 of the house H1004 of the father H1 of the families H4940 of Merari H4847 was Zuriel H6700 the son H1121 of Abihail: H32 these shall pitch H2583 on H5921 the side H3409 of the tabernacle H4908 northward. H6828

And the pillars H5982 of the court H2691 round H5439 about, and their sockets, H134 and their pins, H3489 and their cords. H4340

From thirty H7970 years H8141 old H1121 and upward H4605 even until H5704 fifty H2572 years H8141 old, H1121 all H3605 that enter H935 into H413 the host, H6635 to do H6213 the work H4399 in the tabernacle H168 of the congregation. H4150

And when the camp H4264 sets H5265 forward, H5265 Aaron H175 shall come, H935 and his sons, H1121 and they shall take H3381 down H3381 the covering H4539 veil, H6532 and cover H3680 the ark H727 of testimony H5715 with it:

And on the table H7979 of show bread H6440 they shall spread H6566 a cloth H899 of blue, H8504 and put H5414 thereon H5921 the dishes, H7086 and the spoons, H3709 and the bowls, H4518 and covers H7184 to cover H5258 with: and the continual H8548 bread H3899 shall be thereon: H5921

And they shall take away the ashes H1878 from the altar, H4196 and spread H6566 a purple H713 cloth H899 thereon: H5921

And when Aaron H175 and his sons H1121 have made an end H3615 of covering H3680 the sanctuary, H6944 and all H3605 the vessels H3627 of the sanctuary, H6944 as the camp H4264 is to set H5265 forward; H5265 after H310 that, the sons H1121 of Kohath H6955 shall come H935 to bear H5375 it: but they shall not touch H5060 any holy H6944 thing, lest they die. H4191 These H428 things are the burden H4853 of the sons H1121 of Kohath H6955 in the tabernacle H168 of the congregation. H4150

And the LORD H3068 spoke H1696 to Moses H4872 and to Aaron H175 saying, H559

But thus do H6213 to them, that they may live, H2421 and not die, H4191 when they approach H5066 to the most H6944 holy H6944 things: Aaron H175 and his sons H1121 shall go H935 in, and appoint H7760 them every H376 one H376 to his service H5656 and to his burden: H4853

And the LORD H3068 spoke H1696 to Moses, H4872 saying, H559

From thirty H7970 years H8141 old H1121 and upward H4605 until H5704 fifty H2572 years H8141 old H1121 shall you number H6485 them; all H3605 that enter H935 in to perform H6633 the service, H5656 to do H5647 the work H5656 in the tabernacle H168 of the congregation. H4150

And they shall bear H5375 the curtains H3407 of the tabernacle, H4908 and the tabernacle H168 of the congregation, H4150 his covering, H4372 and the covering H4372 of the badgers' H8476 skins that is above H4605 on it, and the hanging H4539 for the door H6607 of the tabernacle H168 of the congregation, H4150

At the appointment H6310 of Aaron H175 and his sons H1121 shall be all H3605 the service H5656 of the sons H1121 of the Gershonites, H1649 in all H3605 their burdens, H4853 and in all H3605 their service: H5656 and you shall appoint H6485 to them in charge H4931 all H3605 their burdens. H4853

As for the sons H1121 of Merari, H4847 you shall number H6485 them after their families, H4940 by the house H1004 of their fathers; H1

And this H2063 is the charge H4931 of their burden, H4853 according to all H3605 their service H5656 in the tabernacle H168 of the congregation; H4150 the boards H7175 of the tabernacle, H4908 and the bars H1280 thereof, and the pillars H5982 thereof, and sockets H134 thereof,

So when David H1732 was old H2204 and full H7646 of days, H3117 he made Solomon H8010 his son H1121 king H4427 over H5921 Israel. H3478

Now the Levites H3881 were numbered H5608 from the age H1121 of thirty H7970 years H8141 and upward: H4605 and their number H4557 by their polls, H1538 man H1397 by man, H1397 was thirty H7970 and eight H8083 thousand. H505

Moreover four H702 thousand H505 were porters; H7778 and four H702 thousand H505 praised H1984 the LORD H3068 with the instruments H3627 which H834 I made, H6213 said David, to praise H1984 therewith.

Of the Gershonites H1649 were, Laadan, H3936 and Shimei. H8096

The sons H1121 of Shimei; H8096 Shelomith, H8013 and Haziel, H2381 and Haran, H2039 three. H7969 These H428 were the chief H7218 of the fathers H1 of Laadan. H3936

And Jahath H3189 was the chief, H7218 and Zizah H2125 the second: H8145 but Jeush H3266 and Beriah H1283 had not many H7235 sons; H1121 therefore they were in one H259 reckoning, H6486 according to their father's H1 house. H1004

The sons H1121 of Amram; H6019 Aaron H175 and Moses: H4872 and Aaron H175 was separated, H914 that he should sanctify H6942 the most H6944 holy H6944 things, he and his sons H1121 for ever, H5769 to burn H6999 incense H6999 before H6440 the LORD, H3068 to minister H8334 to him, and to bless H1288 in his name H8034 for ever. H5769

The sons H1121 of Moses H4872 were, Gershom, H1648 and Eliezer. H461

And the sons H1121 of Eliezer H461 were, Rehabiah H7345 the chief. H7218 And Eliezer H461 had H1961 none H3808 other H312 sons; H1121 but the sons H1121 of Rehabiah H7345 were very H4605 many. H7235

Of the sons H1121 of Hebron; H2275 Jeriah H3404 the first, H7218 Amariah H568 the second, H8145 Jahaziel H3166 the third, H7992 and Jekameam H3360 the fourth. H7243

The sons H1121 of Merari; H4847 Mahli, H4249 and Mushi. H4187 The sons H1121 of Mahli; H4249 Eleazar, H499 and Kish. H7027

The sons H1121 of Mushi; H4187 Mahli, H4249 and Eder, H5740 and Jeremoth, H3406 three. H7969

For David H1732 said, H559 The LORD H3068 God H430 of Israel H3478 has given rest H5117 to his people, H5971 that they may dwell H7931 in Jerusalem H3389 for ever: H5769

For by the last H314 words H1697 of David H1732 the Levites H3881 were numbered H4557 from twenty H6242 years H8141 old H1121 and above: H4605

Both for the show bread, H3899 H4635 and for the fine flour H5560 for meat offering, H4503 and for the unleavened H4682 cakes, H7550 and for that which is baked in the pan, H4227 and for that which is fried, H7246 and for all H3605 manner of measure H4884 and size; H4060

And to offer H5927 all H3605 burnt H5930 sacrifices to the LORD H3068 in the sabbaths, H7676 in the new H2320 moons, H2320 and on the set H4150 feasts, H4150 by number, H4557 according to the order H4941 commanded to them, continually H8548 before H6440 the LORD: H3068

Moreover David H1732 and the captains H8269 of the host H6635 separated H914 to the service H5656 of the sons H1121 of Asaph, H623 and of Heman, H1968 and of Jeduthun, H3038 who should prophesy H5012 with harps, H3658 with psalteries, H5035 and with cymbals: H4700 and the number H4557 of the workmen H582 H4399 according to their service H5656 was:

Of Jeduthun: H3038 the sons H1121 of Jeduthun; H3038 Gedaliah, H1436 and Zeri, H6874 and Jeshaiah, H3470 Hashabiah, H2811 and Mattithiah, H4993 six, H8337 under H5921 the hands H3027 of their father H25 Jeduthun, H3038 who prophesied H5012 with a harp, H3658 to give thanks H3034 and to praise H1984 the LORD. H3068

All H3605 these H428 were the sons H1121 of Heman H1968 the king's H4428 seer H2374 in the words H1697 of God, H430 to lift H7311 up the horn. H7161 And God H430 gave H5414 to Heman H1968 fourteen H702 H6246 sons H1121 and three H7969 daughters. H1323

So the number H4557 of them, with their brothers H251 that were instructed H3925 in the songs H7892 of the LORD, H3068 even all H3605 that were cunning, H995 was two hundred H3967 fourscore H8084 and eight. H8083

Now the first H7223 lot H1486 came H3318 forth H3318 for Asaph H623 to Joseph: H3130 the second H8145 to Gedaliah, H1436 who H1931 with his brothers H251 and sons H1121 were twelve: H8147

The fourth H7243 to Izri, H3339 he, his sons, H1121 and his brothers, H251 were twelve: H8147

The sixth H8345 to Bukkiah, H1232 he, his sons, H1121 and his brothers, H251 were twelve: H8147

The eighth H8066 to Jeshaiah, H3470 he, his sons, H1121 and his brothers, H251 were twelve: H8147

The tenth H6224 to Shimei, H8096 he, his sons, H1121 and his brothers, H251 were twelve: H8147

The twelfth H8147 H6240 to Hashabiah, H2811 he, his sons, H1121 and his brothers, H251 were twelve: H8147

The fourteenth H702 H6240 to Mattithiah, H4993 he, his sons, H1121 and his brothers, H251 were twelve: H8147

The sixteenth H8337 H6240 to Hananiah, H2608 he, his sons, H1121 and his brothers, H251 were twelve: H8147

The eighteenth H6240 to Hanani, H2607 he, his sons, H1121 and his brothers, H251 were twelve: H8147

And Aaron H175 shall offer H5130 the Levites H3881 before H6440 the LORD H3068 for an offering H8573 of the children H1121 of Israel, H3478 that they may execute H5647 the service H5656 of the LORD. H3068

And you shall set H5975 the Levites H3881 before H6440 Aaron, H175 and before H6440 his sons, H1121 and offer H5130 them for an offering H8573 to the LORD. H3068

And I, behold, H2009 I have taken H3947 the Levites H3881 from among H8432 the children H1121 of Israel H3478 instead H8478 of all H3605 the firstborn H1060 that opens H6363 the matrix H7358 among the children H1121 of Israel: H3478 therefore the Levites H3881 shall be mine;
