1 And the divisions of the sons of Aharon: The sons of Aharon were Naḏaḇ and Aḇihu, El‛azar and Ithamar.
2 But Naḏaḇ and Aḇihu died before their father, and had no children, so El‛azar and Ithamar served as priests.
3 And Dawiḏ, with Tsaḏoq of the sons of El‛azar, and Aḥimeleḵ of the sons of Ithamar, divided them according to their offices in their service.
4 And there were more leaders found of the sons of El‛azar than of the sons of Ithamar. So they divided the sons of El‛azar into sixteen heads of their fathers’ houses, and the sons of Ithamar into eight heads of their fathers’ houses.
5 And they were divided by lot, one group as another, for there were officials of the set-apart place and officials of Elohim, from the sons of El‛azar and from the sons of Ithamar.
6 And the scribe, Shemayah son of Nethanĕ’l, one of the Lĕwites, wrote them down before the sovereign, and the rulers, and Tsaḏoq the priest, and Aḥimeleḵ son of Eḇyathar, and the heads of the fathers’ houses of the priests and Lĕwites, one father’s house taken for El‛azar and one for Ithamar.
7 And the first lot came forth to Yehoyariḇ, the second to Yeḏayah,
8 the third to Ḥarim, the fourth to Se‛orim,
9 the fifth to Malkiyah, the sixth to Miyamin,
10 the seventh to Haqqots, the eighth to Aḇiyah,
11 the ninth to Yĕshua, the tenth to Sheḵanyahu,
12 the eleventh to Elyashiḇ, the twelfth to Yaqim,
13 the thirteenth to Ḥuppah, the fourteenth to Yesheḇ’aḇ,
14 the fifteenth to Bilgah, the sixteenth to Immĕr,
15 the seventeenth to Ḥĕzir, the eighteenth to Happitstsĕts,
16 the nineteenth to Pethaḥyah, the twentieth to Yeḥezqĕl,
17 the twenty-first to Yaḵin, the twenty-second to Gamul,
18 the twenty-third to Delayahu, the twenty-fourth to Ma‛azyahu.
19 These were their offices in their service for coming into the House of יהוה according to their right-ruling by the hand of Aharon their father, as יהוה Elohim of Yisra’ĕl had commanded him.
20 And the rest of the sons of Lĕwi: of the sons of Amram, Shuḇa’ĕl; of the sons of Shuḇa’ĕl, Yeḥdeyahu.
21 Concerning Reḥaḇyahu, of the sons of Reḥaḇyahu, the head was Yishshiyah.
22 Of the Yitsharites, Shelomoth; of the sons of Shelomoth, Yaḥath.
23 Of the sons of Ḥeḇron, Yeriyahu was the head, Amaryahu the second, Yaḥazi’ĕl the third, and Yeqam‛am the fourth.
24 Of the sons of Uzzi’ĕl, Miḵah; of the sons of Miḵah, Shamir.
25 The brother of Miḵah, Yishshiyah; of the sons of Yishshiyah, Zeḵaryahu.
26 The sons of Merari: Maḥli and Mushi; the son of Ya‛aziyahu, Beno.
27 The sons of Merari by Ya‛aziyahu: Beno, and Shoham, and Zakkur, and Iḇri.
28 Of Maḥli: El‛azar, who had no sons.
29 Of Qish: the son of Qish, Yeraḥme’ĕl.
30 And the sons of Mushi: Maḥli, Ěḏer, and Yerimoth. These were the sons of the Lĕwites according to their fathers’ houses.
31 These also cast lots, they too, as their brothers the sons of Aharon, in the presence of Sovereign Dawiḏ, and Tsaḏoq, and Aḥimeleḵ, and the heads of the fathers’ houses of the priests and Lĕwites – the head of the fathers, as well as his younger brothers.
