1 Chronicles 23
23
1So when David [beloved] was old and full of days, he made Shlomo (Solomon) [peace] his son king over Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God].
2And he gathered together all the princes of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], with the priests and the Levi’im (Levites) [Joined to].
3Now the Levi’im (Levites) [Joined to] were numbered from the age of thirty years and upward: and their number by their polls, man by man, was thirty and eight thousand.
4Of which, twenty and four thousand [were] to set forward the work of the house of the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate); and six thousand [were] officers and judges:
5Moreover four thousand [were] porters; and four thousand praised the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) with the instruments which I made, [said David [beloved]], to praise [with that].
6And David [beloved] divided them into courses among the sons of Levi (Levite) [Adhesion, Joiner], [namely], Gershon [Exile], K’hat [assembly, congregation], and M’rari [Bitter].
7Of the Gershuni [Exiled Ones] [were], La’dan [put in order], and Shime’i [Fame].
8The sons of La’dan [put in order]; the chief [was] Jehiel, and Zetam [olive], and Yo’el [Yehovah is God], three.
9The sons of Shime’i [Fame]; Shlomit [Peaceful], and Hazi’el [vision of God], and Haran [mountaineer], three. These [were] the chief of the fathers of La’dan [put in order].
10And the sons of Shime’i [Fame] [were], Yachat [He will snatch up], Zina [well-fed], and Ye’ush [He hurries to aid], and B’ri’i [With a Friend]. These four [were] the sons of Shime’i [Fame].
11And Yachat [He will snatch up] was the chief, and Zizah the second: but Ye’ush [He hurries to aid] and B’ri’i [With a Friend] had not many sons; therefore they were in one reckoning, according to [their] father’s house.
12The sons of K’hat [assembly, congregation]; ‘Amram [exalted people], Yitz’har [Shining Oil], Hevron [Seat of Association], and Uzziel [My Strength is God], four.
13The sons of ‘Amram [exalted people]; Aharon [Bright, Very High] and Moshe [He Who Draws Out Of The Waters]: and Aharon [Bright, Very High] was separated, that he should sanctify (make holy; set apart for God’s use) the most holy things, he and his sons forever, to burn incense before the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), to minister unto him, and to bless in his name forever.
14Now [concerning] Moshe [He Who Draws Out Of The Waters] the man of God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered], his sons were named of the tribe of Levi (Levite) [Adhesion, Joiner].
15The sons of Moshe [He Who Draws Out Of The Waters] [were], Gershom [Exiled One], and Eli’ezer [God is help].
16Of the sons of Gershom [Exiled One], Shebuel [was] the chief.
17And the sons of Eli’ezer [God is help] [were], Rechavyah [Yehovah has enlarged] the chief. And Eli’ezer [God is help] had none other sons; but the sons of Rechavyah [Yehovah has enlarged] were very many.
18Of the sons of Yitz’har [Shining Oil]; Shlomit [Peaceful] the chief.
19Of the sons of Hevron [Seat of Association]; Yeriyahu [taught by Yehovah] the first, Amaryah [Yehovah speaks] the second, Yachazi’el [beheld of God] the third, and Y’kam’am [let the people rise] the fourth.
20Of the sons of Uzziel [My Strength is God]; Mikhah [who is like God] the first, and Yishiyahu [Yehovah will lend] the second.
21The sons of M’rari [Bitter]; Machli [Sick], and Mushi [Yielding]. The sons of Machli [Sick]; El’azar [God has helped], and Kish [bent].
22And El’azar [God has helped] died, and had no sons, but daughters: and their brethren the sons of Kish [bent] took them.
23The sons of Mushi [Yielding]; Machli [Sick], and ‘Eder [A Flock], and Yeremot [He is Most High], three.
24These [were] the sons of Levi (Levite) [Adhesion, Joiner] after the house of their fathers; [even] the chief of the fathers, as they were counted by number of names by their polls, that did the work for the service of the house of the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), from the age of twenty years and upward.
25For David [beloved] said, The Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] has given rest unto his people, that they may dwell in Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace] forever:
26And also unto the Levi’im (Levites) [Joined to]; they shall no [more] carry the tabernacle, nor any vessels of it for the service thereof.
27For by the last words of David [beloved] the Levi’im (Levites) [Joined to] [were] numbered from twenty years old and above:
28Because their office [was] to wait on the sons of Aharon [Bright, Very High] for the service of the house of the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), in the courts, and in the chambers, and in the purifying of all holy things, and the work of the service of the house of God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered];
29Both for the showbread, and for the fine flour for meat offering, and for the unleavened cakes, and for [that which is baked in] the pan, and for that which is fried, and for all manner of measure and size;
30And to stand every morning to thank and praise the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), and likewise at even;
31And to offer all burnt sacrifices unto the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) in the Shabbat, in the new moons, and on the set feasts, by number, according to the order commanded unto them, continually before the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate):
32And that they should keep the charge of the tabernacle of the congregation, and the charge of the holy [place], and the charge of the sons of Aharon [Bright, Very High] their brethren, in the service of the house of the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate).
