    1AND the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,

    2Command the children of Israel, and say unto them, My offering, and my bread for my sacrifices made by fire, for a sweet savour unto me, shall ye observe to offer unto me in their due season.

    3And thou shalt say unto them, This is the offering made by fire which ye shall offer unto the Lord; two lambs of the first year without spot day by day, for a continual burnt offering.

    4The one lamb shalt thou offer in the morning, and the other lamb shalt thou offer at even;

    5And a tenth part of an ephah of flour for a meat offering, mingled with the fourth part of an hin of beaten oil.

    6It is a continual burnt offering, which was ordained in mount Sinai for a sweet savour, a sacrifice made by fire unto the Lord.

    7And the drink offering thereof shall be the fourth part of an hin for the one lamb: in the holy place shalt thou cause the strong wine to be poured unto the Lord for a drink offering.

    8And the other lamb shalt thou offer at even: as the meat offering of the morning, and as the drink offering thereof, thou shalt offer it, a sacrifice made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the Lord.

    9¶ And on the sabbath day two lambs of the first year without spot, and two tenth deals of flour for a meat offering, mingled with oil, and the drink offering thereof:

    10This is the burnt offering of every sabbath, beside the continual burnt offering, and his drink offering.

    11¶ And in the beginnings of your months ye shall offer a burnt offering unto the Lord; two young bullocks, and one ram, seven lambs of the first year without spot;

    15And one kid of the goats for a sin offering unto the Lord shall be offered, beside the continual burnt offering, and his drink offering.

    17And in the fifteenth day of this month is the feast: seven days shall unleavened bread be eaten.

    18In the first day shall be an holy convocation; ye shall do no manner of servile work therein:

    1SO when David was old and full of days, he made Solomon his son king over Israel.

    2¶ And he gathered together all the princes of Israel, with the priests and the Levites.

    3Now the Levites 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; and six thousand were officers and judges:

    5Moreover four thousand were porters; and four thousand praised the Lord with the instruments which I made, said David, to praise therewith.

    6And David divided them into courses among the sons of Levi, namely, Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.

    7¶ Of the Gershonites were, Laadan, and Shimei.

    8The sons of Laadan; the chief was Jehiel, and Zetham, and Joel, three.

    9The sons of Shimei; Shelomith, and Haziel, and Haran, three. These were the chief of the fathers of Laadan.

    10And the sons of Shimei were, Jahath, Zina, and Jeush, and Beriah. These four were the sons of Shimei.

    11And Jahath was the chief, and Zizah the second: but Jeush and Beriah had not many sons; therefore they were in one reckoning, according to their father’s house.

    12¶ The sons of Kohath; Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel, four.

    13The sons of Amram; Aaron and Moses: and Aaron was separated, that he should sanctify the most holy things, he and his sons for ever, to burn incense before the Lord, to minister unto him, and to bless in his name for ever.

    14Now concerning Moses the man of God, his sons were named of the tribe of Levi.

    15The sons of Moses were, Gershom, and Eliezer.

    16Of the sons of Gershom, Shebuel was the chief.

    17And the sons of Eliezer were, Rehabiah the chief. And Eliezer had none other sons; but the sons of Rehabiah were very many.

    18Of the sons of Izhar; Shelomith the chief.

    19Of the sons of Hebron; Jeriah the first, Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third, and Jekameam the fourth.

    20Of the sons of Uzziel; Michah the first, and Jesiah the second.

    21¶ The sons of Merari; Mahli, and Mushi. The sons of Mahli; Eleazar, and Kish.

    22And Eleazar died, and had no sons, but daughters: and their brethren the sons of Kish took them.

    23The sons of Mushi; Mahli, and Eder, and Jeremoth, three.

    24¶ These were the sons of Levi 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, from the age of twenty years and upward.

    28Because their office was to wait on the sons of Aaron for the service of the house of the Lord, 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;

    29Both for the shewbread, 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, and likewise at even;

    31And to offer all burnt sacrifices unto the Lord in the sabbaths, in the new moons, and on the set feasts, by number, according to the order commanded unto them, continually before the Lord:

    1MOREOVER David and the captains of the host separated to the service of the sons of Asaph, and of Heman, and of Jeduthun, who should prophesy with harps, with psalteries, and with cymbals: and the number of the workmen according to their service was:

    2Of the sons of Asaph; Zaccur, and Joseph, and Nethaniah, and Asarelah, the sons of Asaph under the hands of Asaph, which prophesied according to the order of the king.

    3Of Jeduthun: the sons of Jeduthun; Gedaliah, and Zeri, and Jeshaiah, Hashabiah, and Mattithiah, six, under the hands of their father Jeduthun, who prophesied with a harp, to give thanks and to praise the Lord.

    4Of Heman: the sons of Heman; Bukkiah, Mattaniah, Uzziel, Shebuel, and Jerimoth, Hananiah, Hanani, Eliathah, Giddalti, and Romamti-ezer, Joshbekashah, Mallothi, Hothir, and Mahazioth:

    5All these were the sons of Heman the king’s seer in the words of God, to lift up the horn. And God gave to Heman fourteen sons and three daughters.

    6All these were under the hands of their father for song in the house of the Lord, with cymbals, psalteries, and harps, for the service of the house of God, according to the king’s order to Asaph, Jeduthun, and Heman.

    7So the number of them, with their brethren that were instructed in the songs of the Lord, even all that were cunning, was two hundred fourscore and eight.
