And four and twenty thousand men were chosen of them, and were parted into the service of the house of the Lord; and of sovereigns, and judges, six thousand; (And twenty-four thousand men were chosen from them, and were put in service in the House of the Lord; and six thousand were overseers, or officers, and judges, or magistrates;
5
and four thousand that were porters of gates and doors, and so many singers, singing to the Lord in organs, which David had made for to sing with. (and four thousand were made the guards, or the doorkeepers, of the gates and the doors, and as many singers sang to the Lord with the instruments which David had made to sing with.)
6
And David parted them by the whiles of the sons of Levi, that is, of Gershon, and Kohath, and Merari. (And David divided them into three groups, or divisions, by the families of the Levites, that is, of Gershon, and Kohath, and Merari.)
7
And the sons of Gershon were Laadan and Shimei.
8
The sons of Laadan were three; the prince Jehiel (the leader was Jehiel), and Zetham, and Joel.
9
The sons of Shimei were three, Shelomith, and Haziel, and Haran; these were the princes of the families of Laadan (these were the leaders of the families of Laadan).
10
And the sons of Shimei were Jahath, and Zina, and Jeush, and Beriah; these four were the sons of Shimei.
11
And Jahath was the former, and Zizah, the second; and Jeush and Beriah had not full many sons, and therefore they were reckoned in one family, and in one house. (And Jahath was the first-born son, and Zizah, the second; and Jeush and Beriah did not have many sons, and so they were reckoned as one family, and one house.)
12
The sons of Kohath were four, Amram, and Izhar, and Hebron, and Uzziel.
13
The sons of Amram were Aaron and Moses; and Aaron was separated, that he should minister in the holy of holy things, he and his sons without end, and to burn incense to the Lord by his custom, and to bless his name without end. (The sons of Amram were Aaron and Moses; and Aaron was set apart, so that he could be in charge of the holy things, he and his sons forevermore, and to burn incense to the Lord as by its custom, and to bless his name forevermore.)
14
Also the sons of Moses, the man of God, were numbered in the lineage of Levi. (But the sons of Moses, the man of God, were counted in the tribe of Levi.
