5 and four thousand were gatekeepers, and four thousand to give praise to יהוה, “which I made for giving praise.”
6 And Dawiḏ divided them into divisions, of the sons of Lĕwi: of Gĕrshon, Qehath, and Merari.
7 Of the Gĕrshonites: La‛dan and Shim‛i.
8 The sons of La‛dan: Yeḥi’ĕl the head, then Zĕtham and Yo’ĕl, three.
9 The sons of Shim‛i: Shelomith, and Ḥazi’ĕl, and Haran, three. These were the heads of the fathers’ houses of La‛dan.
10 And the sons of Shim‛i: Yaḥath, Zina, and Ye‛ush, and Beri‛ah. These were the four sons of Shim‛i.
11 And Yaḥath was the head and Zizah the second. But Ye‛ush and Beri‛ah did not have many sons, so they were reckoned as one father’s house.
