³⁰That ye may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

³⁰That yee may eate and drinke at my table in my kingdome, ^*and sit on thrones iudging the twelue Tribes of Israel.

¹²And had a wall great and high, and had twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names written thereon, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel:

¹²And had a wall great and high, and had twelue gates, and at the gates twelue Angels, & names written thereon, which are the names of the twelue tribes of the children of Israel.

⁶Bring the tribe of Levi near, and present them before Aaron the priest, that they may minister unto him.

⁶Bring the tribe of Leui neere, and present them before Aaron the Priest, that they may minister vnto him.

¹NOW these are the divisions of the sons of Aaron. The sons of Aaron; Nadab, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.

¹¶ Now these are the diuisions of the sonnes of Aaron. ^*The sonnes of Aaron: Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar.

⁴And prepare yourselves by the houses of your fathers, after your courses, according to the writing of David king of Israel, and according to the writing of Solomon his son.

⁵And stand in the holy place according to the divisions of the families of the fathers of your brethren the people, and after the division of the families of the Levites.

⁴And prepare your selues by the houses of your fathers, after your courses, according to the ^*writing of Dauid king of Israel, and according to the ^*writing of Solomon his sonne.

⁵And stand in the holy place according to the diuisions of the ^†families of the fathers of your ^†brethren the people, and after the diuision of the families of the Leuites.

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.

²⁵For David said, The Lord God of Israel hath given rest unto his people, that they may dwell in Jerusalem for ever:

²⁶And also unto the Levites; they shall no more carry the tabernacle, nor any vessels of it for the service thereof.

¹¶ So ^*when Dauid was old and full of dayes, he made Solomon his sonne king ouer Israel.

²¶ And he gathered together all the Princes of Israel, with the Priests and the Leuites.

³Now the Leuites were numbred from the age of thirtie ^*yeeres and vpward: and their number, by their polles, man by man, was thirtie and eight thousand.

⁴Of which, twentie and foure thousand were ^‖to set forward the work of the house of the LORD: and sixe thousand were Officers and Iudges.

⁵Moreouer, foure thousand were porters, and foure thousand praised the LORD with the instruments which I made ( said Dauid) to praise therewith.

⁶And ^*Dauid diuided them into ^†courses among the sonnes of Leui, namely Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.

⁷¶ Of the ^*Gershonites were ^‖Laadan, and Shimei.

⁸The sonnes of Laadan, the chiefe was Iehiel, and Zetham, and Ioel, three.

⁹The sonnes of Shimei: Shelomith, and Haziel, and Haran, three. These were the chiefe of the fathers of Laadan.

¹⁰And the sonnes of Shimei were: Iahath, ^‖Zina, and Ieush, and Beriah. These foure were the sonnes of Shimei.

¹¹And Iahath was the chiefe, and Ziza the second: but Ieush and Beriah ^†had not many sonnes: therefore they were in one reckoning, according to their fathers house.

¹²¶ The sonnes of Kohath: Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel, foure.

¹³The sonnes of ^*Amram: Aaron and Moses: and ^*Aaron was separated, that he should sanctifie the most holy things, he and his sonnes for euer, to burne incense before the LORD, to minister vnto him, and to blesse in his Name for euer.

^14*Now concerning Moses the man of God, his sonnes were named of the tribe of Leui.

¹⁵The sonnes of Moses were: ^*Gershom and Eliezer.

¹⁶Of the sonnes of Gershom Shebuel was the chiefe.

¹⁷And the sonnes of Eliezer were: ^*Rehabiah ^‖the chiefe. And Eliezer had none other sonnes: but the sonnes of Rehabiah ^†were very many.

¹⁸Of the sonnes of Izhar, Shelomith the chiefe.

¹⁹Of the sonnes of Hebron, Ieriah the first, Amariah the second, Iahaziel the third, and Iekamiam the fourth.

²⁰Of the sonnes of Uzziel: Michah the first, and Iesiah the second.

²¹¶ The sonnes of Merari: Mahli and Mushi. The sonnes of Mahli: Eleazar and Kish.

²²And Eleazar died, and had no sonnes but daughters: and their ^‖brethren the sonnes of Kish tooke them.

²³The sonnes of Mushi: Mahli, and Eder, and Ierimoth, three.

²⁴¶ These were the sonnes of ^*Leui after the house of their fathers, euen the chiefe of the fathers, as they were counted by number of names by their polles, that did the worke for the seruice of the house of the LORD, from the age of ^*twentie yeeres and vpward.

²⁵For Dauid sayd, The LORD God of Israel hath giuen rest vnto his people, ^‖that they may dwell in Ierusalem for euer.

²⁶And also vnto the Leuites: they shall no more cary the Tabernacle, nor any vessels of it for the seruice thereof.

⁹And thou shalt bring the Levites before the tabernacle of the congregation: and thou shalt gather the whole assembly of the children of Israel together:

¹⁰And thou shalt bring the Levites before the Lord: and the children of Israel shall put their hands upon the Levites:

¹¹And Aaron shall offer the Levites before the Lord for an offering of the children of Israel, that they may execute the service of the Lord.

¹²And the Levites shall lay their hands upon the heads of the bullocks: and thou shalt offer the one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering, unto the Lord, to make an atonement for the Levites.

¹³And thou shalt set the Levites before Aaron, and before his sons, and offer them for an offering unto the Lord.

¹⁴Thus shalt thou separate the Levites from among the children of Israel: and the Levites shall be mine.

¹⁵And after that shall the Levites go in to do the service of the tabernacle of the congregation: and thou shalt cleanse them, and offer them for an offering.

¹⁶For they are wholly given unto me from among the children of Israel; instead of such as open every womb, even instead of the firstborn of all the children of Israel, have I taken them unto me.

¹⁷For all the firstborn of the children of Israel are mine, both man and beast: on the day that I smote every firstborn in the land of Egypt I sanctified them for myself.

¹⁸And I have taken the Levites for all the firstborn of the children of Israel.

¹⁹And I have given the Levites as a gift to Aaron and to his sons from among the children of Israel, to do the service of the children of Israel in the tabernacle of the congregation, and to make an atonement for the children of Israel: that there be no plague among the children of Israel, when the children of Israel come nigh unto the sanctuary.

²⁰And Moses, and Aaron, and all the congregation of the children of Israel, did to the Levites according unto all that the Lord commanded Moses concerning the Levites, so did the children of Israel unto them.

²¹And the Levites were purified, and they washed their clothes; and Aaron offered them as an offering before the Lord; and Aaron made an atonement for them to cleanse them.

²²And after that went the Levites in to do their service in the tabernacle of the congregation before Aaron, and before his sons: as the Lord had commanded Moses concerning the Levites, so did they unto them.

²³¶ And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,

²⁴This is it that belongeth unto the Levites: from twenty and five years old and upward they shall go in to wait upon the service of the tabernacle of the congregation:

²⁵And from the age of fifty years they shall cease waiting upon the service thereof, and shall serve no more:

²⁶But shall minister with their brethren in the tabernacle of the congregation, to keep the charge, and shall do no service. Thus shalt thou do unto the Levites touching their charge.

⁹And thou shalt bring the Leuites before the Tabernacle of the Congregation; and thou shalt gather the whole assembly of the children of Israel together.

¹⁰And thou shalt bring the Leuites before the LORD, and the children of Israel shall put their hands vpon the Leuites.

¹¹And Aaron shall ^†offer the Leuites before the LORD for an ^†offring of the children of Israel, that ^†they may execute the seruice of the LORD.

¹²And the Leuites shall lay their hands vpon the heads of the bullocks: and thou shalt offer the one for a sinne offering, and the other for a burnt offering vnto the LORD, to make an atonement for the Leuites.

¹³And thou shalt set the Leuites before Aaron, and before his sonnes, and offer them for an offering vnto the LORD.

¹⁴Thus shalt thou separate the Leuites from among the children of Israel: and the Leuites shalbe ^*mine.

¹⁵And after that, shall the Leuites goe in; to doe the seruice of the Tabernacle of the Congregation: and thou shalt clense them, and offer them for an offering.

¹⁶For they are wholly giuen vnto me, from among the children of Israel: in stead of such as open euery wombe, ^*euen in stead of the first borne of all the children of Israel, haue I taken them vnto me.

¹⁷For all the first borne of the children of Israel, are mine, both man and beast: on the day that I smote euery first borne in the land of Egypt, I sanctified them for my selfe.

¹⁸And I haue taken the Leuites for all the first borne of the children of Israel.

¹⁹And I haue giuen the Leuites as a ^†gift to Aaron, and to his sonnes, from among the children of Israel, to do the seruice of the children of Israel, in the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and to make an atonement for the children of Israel: that there bee no plague among the children of Israel, when the children of Israel come nigh vnto the Sanctuarie.

²⁰And Moses and Aaron, and all the Congregation of the children of Israel did to the Leuites according vnto all that the LORD commanded Moses, concerning the Leuites, so did the children of Israel vnto them.

²¹And the Leuites were purified, and they washed their clothes: and Aaron offered them as an offering before the LORD, and Aaron made an atonement for them to cleanse them.

²²And after that, went the Leuites in, to do their seruice in the Tabernacle of the Congregation before Aaron and and before his sonnes: as the LORD had commanded Moses concerning the Leuites, so did they vnto them.

²³¶ And the LORD spake vnto Moses, saying,

²⁴This is it that belongeth vnto the Leuites: from twentie and fiue yeeres old, and vpward, they shall goe in ^†to waite vpon the seruice of the Tabernacle of the Congregation.

²⁵And from the age of fiftie yeeres they shall ^†cease waiting vpon the seruice thereof, and shall serue no more:

²⁶But shall minister with their brethren in the Tabernacle of the Congregation, to keepe the charge, and shall doe no seruice: thus shalt thou doe vnto the Leuites, touching their charge.
