1다윗이 나이 많아 늙으매 아들 솔로몬으로 이스라엘 왕을 삼고 2이스라엘 모든 방백과 제사장과 레위 사람을 모았더라 3레위 사람은 삼십 세 이상으로 계수하였으니 모든 남자의 명수가 삼만 팔천인데 4그 중에 이만 사천은 여호와의 전 사무를 보살피는 자요 육천은 유사와 재판관이요 5사천은 문지기요 사천은 다윗의 찬송하기 위하여 지은 악기로 여호와를 찬송하는 자라 6다윗이 레위의 아들 게르손과 그핫과 므라리의 각 족속을 따라 그 반열을 나누었더라 7게르손 자손은 라단과 시므이라 8라단의 아들들은 족장 여히엘과 또 세담과 요엘 세 사람이요 9시므이의 아들들은 슬로밋과 하시엘과 하란 세 사람이니 이는 라단의 족장들이며 10또 시므이의 아들들은 야핫과 시나와 여우스와 브리아니 이 네 사람도 시므이의 아들이라 11그 족장은 야핫이요 그 다음은 시사며 여우스와 브리아는 아들이 많지 아니하므로 저희와 한 족속으로 계수되었더라 12그핫의 아들들은 아므람과 이스할과 헤브론과 웃시엘 네 사람이라 13아므람의 아들들은 아론과 모세니 아론은 그 자손들과 함께 구별되어 몸을 성결케 하여 영원토록 지극히 거룩한 자가 되어 여호와 앞에 분향하며 섬기며 영원토록 그 이름을 받들어 축복하게 되었으며 14하나님의 사람 모세의 아들들은 레위 지파 중에 기록되었으니 15모세의 아들은 게르솜과 엘리에셀이라 16게르솜의 아들 중에 스브엘이 족장이 되었고 17엘리에셀의 아들은 족장 르하뱌라 엘리에셀이 이 외에는 다른 아들이 없고 르하뱌의 아들은 심히 많았으며 18이스할의 아들은 족장 슬로밋이요 19헤브론의 아들들은 족장 여리야와 둘째 아마랴와 셋째 야하시엘과 넷째 여가므암이며 20웃시엘의 아들은 족장 미가와 그 다음 잇시야더라 21므라리의 아들들은 마흘리와 무시요 마흘리의 아들들은 엘르아살과 기스라 22엘르아살이 아들이 없이 죽고 딸만 있더니 그 형제 기스의 아들이 저에게 장가 들었으며 23무시의 아들들은 마흘리와 에델과 여레못 세 사람이더라 24이는 다 레위 자손이니 그 종가를 따라 계수함을 입어 이름이 기록되고 여호와의 전에서 섬기는 일을 하는 이십 세 이상 된 족장들이라 25다윗이 이르기를 이스라엘 하나님 여호와께서 평강을 그 백성에게 주시고 예루살렘에 영원히 거하시나니 26레위 사람이 다시는 성막과 그 가운데서 쓰는 모든 기구를 멜 것이 없다 한지라 27다윗의 유언대로 레위 자손이 이십 세 이상으로 계수되었으니 28그 직분은 아론의 자손에게 수종들어 여호와의 전과 뜰과 골방에서 섬기고 또 모든 성물을 정결케 하는 일 곧 하나님의 전에서 섬기는 일과 29또 진설병과 고운 가루의 소제물 곧 무교전병이나 남비에 지지는 것이나 반죽하는 것이나 또 모든 저울과 자를 맡고 30새벽과 저녁마다 서서 여호와께 축사하며 찬송하며 31또 안식일과 초하루와 절기에 모든 번제를 여호와께 드리되 그 명하신 규례의 정한 수효대로 항상 여호와 앞에 드리며 32또 회막의 직무와 성소의 직무와 그 형제 아론 자손의 직무를 지켜 여호와의 전에서 수종드는 것이더라

1Now David was old and full of days; and he made Solomon his son king over Israel. 2He gathered together all the princes of Israel, with the priests and the Levites. 3The Levites were numbered from thirty years old and upward: and their number by their polls, man by man, was thirty-eight thousand. 4David said, “Of these, twenty-four thousand were to oversee the work of Yahweh’s house; six thousand were officers and judges; 5four thousand were doorkeepers; and four thousand praised Yahweh with the instruments which I made, for giving praise.” 6David divided them into divisions according to the sons of Levi: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari. 7Of the Gershonites: Ladan and Shimei. 8The sons of Ladan: Jehiel the chief, and Zetham, and Joel, three. 9The sons of Shimei: Shelomoth, and Haziel, and Haran, three. These were the heads of the fathers’ households of Ladan. 10The sons of Shimei: Jahath, Zina, and Jeush, and Beriah. These four were the sons of Shimei. 11Jahath was the chief, and Zizah the second: but Jeush and Beriah didn’t have many sons; therefore they became a fathers’ house in one reckoning. 12The sons of Kohath: Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel, four. 13The sons of Amram: Aaron and Moses; and Aaron was separated, that he should sanctify the most holy things, he and his sons, forever, to burn incense before Yahweh, to minister to him, and to bless in his name, forever. 14But as for Moses the man of God, his sons were named among the tribe of Levi. 15The sons of Moses: Gershom and Eliezer. 16The sons of Gershom: Shebuel the chief. 17The sons of Eliezer were: Rehabiah the chief; and Eliezer had no other sons; but the sons of Rehabiah were very many. 18The sons of Izhar: Shelomith the chief. 19The sons of Hebron: Jeriah the chief, Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third, and Jekameam the fourth. 20The sons of Uzziel: Micah the chief, and Isshiah the second. 21The sons of Merari: Mahli and Mushi. The sons of Mahli: Eleazar and Kish. 22Eleazar died, and had no sons, but daughters only: and their brothers the sons of Kish took them as wives. 23The sons of Mushi: Mahli, and Eder, and Jeremoth, three. 24These were the sons of Levi after their fathers’ houses, even the heads of the fathers’ houses of those who were counted individually, in the number of names by their polls, who did the work for the service of Yahweh’s house, from twenty years old and upward. 25For David said, “Yahweh, the God of Israel, has given rest to his people; and he dwells in Jerusalem forever. 26Also the Levites will no longer need to carry the tabernacle and all its vessels for its service.” 27For by the last words of David the sons of Levi were numbered, from twenty years old and upward. 28For their office was to wait on the sons of Aaron for the service of Yahweh’s house, in the courts, and in the rooms, and in the purifying of all holy things, even the work of the service of God’s house; 29for the show bread also, and for the fine flour for a meal offering, whether of unleavened wafers, or of that which is baked in the pan, or of that which is soaked, and for all kinds of measure and size; 30and to stand every morning to thank and praise Yahweh, and likewise in the evening; 31and to offer all burnt offerings to Yahweh, on the Sabbaths, on the new moons, and on the set feasts, in number according to the ordinance concerning them, continually before Yahweh; 32and that they should keep the duty of the Tent of Meeting, and the duty of the holy place, and the duty of the sons of Aaron their brothers, for the service of Yahweh’s house.

1Toen nu David oud was en zat van dagen, maakte hij zijn zoon Salomo tot koning over Israel. 2En hij vergaderde al de vorsten van Israel, ook de priesters en de Levieten. 3En de Levieten werden geteld, van dertig jaren af en daarboven; en hun getal was, naar hun hoofden, aan mannen, acht en dertig duizend. 4Uit dezen waren er vier en twintig duizend om het werk van het huis des HEEREN aan te drijven; en zes duizend ambtlieden en rechters; 5En vier duizend poortiers, en vier duizend lofzangers des HEEREN, met instrumenten, die ik gemaakt heb, zeide David, om lof te zingen. 6En David verdeelde hen in verdelingen, naar de kinderen van Levi, Gerson, Kehath en Merari. 7Uit de Gersonieten waren Ladan en Simei. 8De kinderen van Ladan waren dezen: Jehiel, het hoofd, en Zetham, en Joel; drie. 9De kinderen van Simei waren Selomith, en Haziel, en Haran, drie; dezen waren de hoofden der vaderen van Ladan. 10De kinderen van Simei nu waren Jahath, Zina, en Jeus, en Beria; dezen waren de kinderen van Simei; vier. 11En Jahath was het hoofd, en Zizza de tweede; maar Jeus en Beria hadden niet vele kinderen; daarom waren zij in het vaderlijke huis maar van een telling. 12De kinderen van Kehath waren Amram, Jizhar, Hebron en Uzziel; vier. 13De kinderen van Amram waren Aaron en Mozes. Aaron nu werd afgezonderd, dat hij heiligde de allerheiligste dingen, hij en zijn zonen, tot in eeuwigheid, om te roken voor het aangezicht des HEEREN, om Hem te dienen en om in Zijn Naam tot in eeuwigheid te zegenen. 14Aangaande nu Mozes, den man Gods, zijn kinderen werden genoemd onder den stam van Levi. 15De kinderen van Mozes waren Gersom en Eliezer. 16Van de kinderen van Gersom was Sebuel het hoofd. 17De kinderen van Eliezer nu waren dezen: Rehabja het hoofd; en Eliezer had geen andere kinderen, maar de kinderen van Rehabja vermeerderden ten hoogste. 18Van de kinderen van Jizhar was Selomith het hoofd. 19Aangaande de kinderen van Hebron: Jeria was het hoofd, Amarja de tweede, Jahaziel de derde, en Jekameam de vierde. 20Aangaande de kinderen van Uzziel: Micha was het hoofd, en Jissia de tweede. 21De kinderen van Merari waren Maheli en Musi; de kinderen van Maheli waren Eleazar en Kis. 22En Eleazar stierf, en hij had geen zonen, maar dochters; en de kinderen van Kis, haar broeders, namen ze. 23De kinderen van Musi waren Maheli, en Eder, en Jeremoth; drie. 24Dit zijn de kinderen van Levi, naar het huis hunner vaderen, de hoofden der vaderen, naar hun gerekenden in het getal der namen naar hun hoofden, doende het werk van den dienst van het huis des HEEREN van twintig jaren oud en daarboven. 25Want David had gezegd: De HEERE, de God Israels, heeft Zijn volk rust gegeven, en Hij zal te Jeruzalem wonen tot in eeuwigheid. 26En ook aangaande de Levieten, dat zij den tabernakel, noch enig van deszelfs gereedschap, tot deszelfs dienst behorende, niet meer zouden dragen. 27Want naar de laatste woorden van David werden de kinderen van Levi geteld, van twintig jaren oud en daarboven; 28Omdat hun standplaats was aan de hand der zonen van Aaron in den dienst van het huis des HEEREN, over de voorhoven, en over de kameren, en over de reiniging van alle heilige dingen, en het werk van den dienst van het huis Gods; 29Te weten tot het brood der toerichting, en tot de meelbloem ten spijsoffer, en tot ongezuurde vladen, en tot de pannen, en tot het gerooste, en tot alle mate en afmeting; 30En om alle morgens te staan, om den HEERE te loven en te prijzen; en desgelijks des avonds; 31En tot al het offeren der brandofferen des HEEREN, op de sabbatten, op de nieuwe maanden, en op de gezette hoogtijden in getal, naar de wijze onder hen, geduriglijk, voor het aangezicht des HEEREN; 32En dat zij de wacht van de tent der samenkomst zouden waarnemen, en de wacht des heiligdoms, en de wacht der zonen van Aaron, hun broederen, in den dienst van het huis des HEEREN.
