1And the divisions of the sons of Aharon: The sons of Aharon were Naḏaḇ and Aḇihu, El‛azar and Ithamar.

2But Naḏaḇ and Aḇihu died before their father, and had no children, so El‛azar and Ithamar served as priests.

3And 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.

4And 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.

5And 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.

6And 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.

7And the first lot came forth to Yehoyariḇ, the second to Yeḏayah,

8the third to Ḥarim, the fourth to Se‛orim,

9the fifth to Malkiyah, the sixth to Miyamin,

10the seventh to Haqqots, the eighth to Aḇiyah,

11the ninth to Yĕshua, the tenth to Sheḵanyahu,

12the eleventh to Elyashiḇ, the twelfth to Yaqim,

13the thirteenth to Ḥuppah, the fourteenth to Yesheḇ’aḇ,

14the fifteenth to Bilgah, the sixteenth to Immĕr,

15the seventeenth to Ḥĕzir, the eighteenth to Happitstsĕts,

16the nineteenth to Pethaḥyah, the twentieth to Yeḥezqĕl,

17the twenty-first to Yaḵin, the twenty-second to Gamul,

18the twenty-third to Delayahu, the twenty-fourth to Ma‛azyahu.

19These 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.

20And the rest of the sons of Lĕwi: of the sons of Amram, Shuḇa’ĕl; of the sons of Shuḇa’ĕl, Yeḥdeyahu.

21Concerning Reḥaḇyahu, of the sons of Reḥaḇyahu, the head was Yishshiyah.

22Of the Yitsharites, Shelomoth; of the sons of Shelomoth, Yaḥath.

23Of the sons of Ḥeḇron, Yeriyahu was the head, Amaryahu the second, Yaḥazi’ĕl the third, and Yeqam‛am the fourth.

24Of the sons of Uzzi’ĕl, Miḵah; of the sons of Miḵah, Shamir.

25The brother of Miḵah, Yishshiyah; of the sons of Yishshiyah, Zeḵaryahu.

26The sons of Merari: Maḥli and Mushi; the son of Ya‛aziyahu, Beno.

27The sons of Merari by Ya‛aziyahu: Beno, and Shoham, and Zakkur, and Iḇri.

28Of Maḥli: El‛azar, who had no sons.

29Of Qish: the son of Qish, Yeraḥme’ĕl.

30And the sons of Mushi: Maḥli, Ěḏer, and Yerimoth. These were the sons of the Lĕwites according to their fathers’ houses.

31These 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.
