1And all Yisra’ĕl registered themselves by genealogy. And see, they were written in the book of the sovereigns of Yisra’ĕl. And Yehuḏah was exiled to Baḇel for their trespass.

2And the first inhabitants who were in their possessions in their cities of Yisra’ĕl, were the priests, the Lĕwites, and the Nethinim.

3And in Yerushalayim dwelt some of the children of Yehuḏah, and some of the children of Binyamin, and some of the children of Ephrayim and Menashsheh:

4Uthai son of Ammihuḏ, son of Omri, son of Imri, son of Bani, of the sons of Perets, the son of Yehuḏah.

5And of the Shilonites: Asayah the first-born and his sons.

6And of the sons of Zeraḥ: Ye‛u’ĕl, and their brothers, six hundred and ninety.

7And of the sons of Binyamin: Sallu son of Meshullam, son of Hoḏawyah, son of Hasenu’ah;

8and Yiḇneyah son of Yeroḥam; and Ělah son of Uzzi, son of Miḵri; and Meshullam son of Shephatyah, son of Re‛uw’ĕl, son of Yiḇniyah;

9and their brothers, according to their generations, nine hundred and fifty-six. All these men were heads of a father’s house in their fathers’ houses.

10And of the priests: Yeḏayah, and Yehoyariḇ, and Yaḵin;

11and Azaryah son of Ḥilqiyah, son of Meshullam, son of Tsaḏoq, son of Merayoth, son of Aḥituḇ, the officer over the House of Elohim;

12and Aḏayah son of Yeroḥam, son of Pashḥur, son of Malkiyah; and Ma‛asai son of Aḏi’ĕl, son of Yaḥzĕrah, son of Meshullam, son of Meshillĕmith, son of Immĕr;

13and their brothers, heads of their fathers’ houses, one thousand seven hundred and sixty, able men for the work of the service of the House of Elohim.

14And of the Lĕwites: Shemayah son of Ḥashshuḇ, son of Azriqam, son of Ḥashaḇyah, of the sons of Merari;

15and Baqbaqqar, Ḥeresh, and Galal, and Mattanyah son of Miḵa, son of Ziḵri, son of Asaph;

16and Oḇaḏyah son of Shemayah, son of Galal, son of Yeḏuthun; and Bereḵyah son of Asa, son of Elqanah, who dwelt in the villages of the Netophathites.

17And the gatekeepers: Shallum, and Aqquḇ, and Talmon, and Aḥiman, and their brothers – Shallum the chief.

18And up till then they were gatekeepers for the camps of the children of Lĕwi at the Sovereign’s Gate on the east.

19And Shallum son of Qorĕ, son of Eḇyasaph, son of Qoraḥ, and his brothers, from his father’s house, the Qorḥites, were over the work of the service, guards of the thresholds of the Tent. And their fathers had been guards of the entrance to the camp of יהוה.

20And Pineḥas son of El‛azar was leader over them in time past. יהוה was with him.

21Zeḵaryah son of Meshelemyah was gatekeeper at the entrance of the Tent of Meeting.

22All those chosen as gatekeepers at the thresholds were two hundred and twelve. They were registered by genealogy, in their villages. Dawiḏ and Shemu’ĕl the seer had appointed them to their office of trust.

23So they and their sons were over the gates of the House of יהוה, the House of the Tent, by watches.

24The gatekeepers were on the four sides: the east, west, north, and south.

25And their brothers in their villages had to come with them from time to time for seven days.

26For the four chief gatekeepers were in an office of trust. They were Lĕwites, and they were over the rooms and treasuries of the House of Elohim.

27And they spent the night all around the House of Elohim because they had the duty, and they were to open it morning by morning.

28And some of them were over the vessels of service, for they brought them in and took them out by count.

29And some of them were appointed over the vessels, even over all the vessels of the set-apart place, and over the fine flour and the wine and the oil and the incense and the spices.

30And some of the sons of the priests blended the compound of spices.

31And Mattithyah of the Lĕwites, the first-born of Shallum the Qorḥite, was entrusted with the making of the flat cakes.

32And some of their brothers of the sons of the Qehathites were over the showbread, to prepare every Sabbath.

33And these were the singers, heads of the fathers’ houses of the Lĕwites, in the rooms, and were exempted from other duties, for they were employed in that work day and night.

34These heads of the fathers’ houses of the Lĕwites were heads throughout their generations. They dwelt at Yerushalayim.

35And Ye‛i’ĕl the father of Giḇ‛on, whose wife’s name was Ma‛aḵah, dwelt at Giḇ‛on.

36And his first-born son was Aḇdon, then Tsur, and Qish, and Ba‛al, and Nĕr, and Naḏaḇ,

37and Geḏor, and Aḥyo, and Zeḵaryah, and Miqloth.

38And Miqloth brought forth Shim‛am. And they too dwelt alongside their relatives in Yerushalayim, with their brothers.

39And Nĕr brought forth Qish, and Qish brought forth Sha’ul, and Sha’ul brought forth Yehonathan, and Malkishua, and Aḇinaḏaḇ, and Esh-Ba‛al.

40And the son of Yehonathan was Meriḇ-Ba‛al, and Meriḇ-Ba‛al brought forth Miḵah.

41And the sons of Miḵah: Pithon, and Meleḵ, and Taḥrĕa,

42and Aḥaz, who brought forth Yarah; and Yarah brought forth Alemeth, and Azmaweth, and Zimri. And Zimri brought forth Motsa;

43and Motsa brought forth Bin‛a, and Rephayah was his son, El‛asah his son, Atsĕl his son.

44And Atsĕl had six sons whose names were these: Azriqam, Boḵeru, and Yishma‛ĕl, and She‛aryah, and Oḇaḏyah, and Ḥanan. These were the sons of Atsĕl.
