1 Chronicles 24
24
1Now [these are] the divisions of the sons of Aharon [Bright, Very High]. The sons of Aharon [Bright, Very High]; Nadav [Generous], and Avihu [he is my father], El’azar [God has helped], and Itamar [Coast of Palms].
2But Nadav [Generous] and Avihu [he is my father] died before their father, and had no children: therefore El’azar [God has helped] and Itamar [Coast of Palms] executed the priest’s office.
3And David [beloved] distributed them, both Tzadok [righteous] of the sons of El’azar [God has helped], and Achi-Melekh [my brother is king] of the sons of Itamar [Coast of Palms], according to their offices in their service.
4And there were more chief men found of the sons of El’azar [God has helped] than of the sons of Itamar [Coast of Palms]; and [thus] were they divided. Among the sons of El’azar [God has helped] [there were] sixteen chief men of the house of [their] fathers, and eight among the sons of Itamar [Coast of Palms] according to the house of their fathers.
5Thus were they divided by lot, one sort with another; for the governors of the sanctuary, and governors [of the house] of God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered], were of the sons of El’azar [God has helped], and of the sons of Itamar [Coast of Palms].
6And Sh’may’yah [Yehovah hears] the son of N’tan’el [God’s Gift] the scribe, [one] of the Levi’im (Levites) [Joined to], wrote them before the king, and the princes, and Tzadok [righteous] the priest, and Achi-Melekh [my brother is king] the son of Avyatar [my father is great], and [before] the chief of the fathers of the priests and Levi’im (Levites) [Joined to]: one principal household being taken for El’azar [God has helped], and [one] taken for Itamar [Coast of Palms].
7Now the first lot came forth to Y’hoyariv [Yehovah contends], the second to Y’da’yah [Yehovah has known],
8The third to Harim [dedicated], the fourth to S’orim [barley],
9The fifth to Malkiyah [my king is Yehovah], the sixth to Minyamin [from the right hand],
10The seventh to Hakotz [thorn], the eighth to Aviyah [Yehovah is (my) father],
11The ninth to Yeshua [he is saved], the tenth to Sh’khanyahu [dweller with Yehovah],
12The eleventh to Elyashiv [God restores], the twelfth to Yakim [He will raise],
13The thirteenth to Hupah [canopy], the fourteenth to Yeshev’av [dwelling of the father],
14The fifteenth to Bilgah [cheerfulness], the sixteenth to Immer [he has said],
15The seventeenth to Hezir [swine], the eighteenth to HaPitzetz [to break],
16The nineteenth to P’tachyah [freed by Yehovah], the twentieth to Yechezk’el [God strengthens],
17The one and twentieth to Yakhin [He will establish], the two and twentieth to Gamul [weaned],
18The three and twentieth to D’layahu [Yehovah has accomplished], the four and twentieth to Ma’azyah [consolation of Yehovah].
19These [were] the orderings of them in their service to come into the house of the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), according to their manner, under Aharon [Bright, Very High] their father, as the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] had commanded him.
20And the rest of the sons of Levi (Levite) [Adhesion, Joiner] [were these]: Of the sons of ‘Amram [exalted people]; Shuva’el [captive of God]: of the sons of Shuva’el [captive of God]; Yechd’yah [Yehovah is unity].
21Concerning Rechavyah [Yehovah has enlarged]: of the sons of Rechavyah [Yehovah has enlarged], the first [was] Yishiyah [Yehovah will lend].
22Of the Yitz’hari [oil]; Shlomot [peaceful]: of the sons of Shlomot [peaceful]; Yachat [He will snatch up].
23And 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, Y’kam’am [let the people rise] the fourth.
24 [Of] the sons of Uzziel [My Strength is God]; Mikhah [who is like God]: of the sons of Mikhah [who is like God]; Shamir [A Point or Thorn].
25The brother of Mikhah [who is like God] [was] Yishiyah [Yehovah will lend]: of the sons of Yishiyah [Yehovah will lend]; Z’kharyah [Yehovah remembers].
26The sons of M’rari [Bitter] [were] Machli [Sick] and Mushi [Yielding]: the sons of Jaaziah; Beno.
27The sons of M’rari [Bitter] by Ya’aziyahu [made bold by Yehovah]; his son, and Shoham [onyx], and Zakur [Mindful], and ‘Ivri [Hebrew].
28Of Machli [Sick] [came] El’azar [God has helped], who had no sons.
29Concerning Kish [bent]: the son of Kish [bent] [was] Yerachme’el [my God have pity].
30The sons also of Mushi [Yielding]; Machli [Sick], and ‘Eder [A Flock], and Yerimot [He is Most High]. These [were] the sons of the Levi’im (Levites) [Joined to] after the house of their fathers.
31These likewise cast lots over against their brethren the sons of Aharon [Bright, Very High] in the presence of David [beloved] the king, and Tzadok [righteous], and Achi-Melekh [my brother is king], and the chief of the fathers of the priests and Levi’im (Levites) [Joined to], even the principal fathers over against their younger brethren.
