² And the Lord said to me, This gate shall be shut, it shall not be opened, and no one shall pass through it; for the Lord God of Israel shall enter by it, and it shall be shut. ³ For the prince, he shall sit in it, to eat bread before the Lord; he shall go in by the way of the porch of the gate, and shall go forth by the way of the same.

¹ Thus says the Lord God; The gate that is in the inner court, that looks eastward, shall be shut the six working days; [but] let it be opened on the sabbath-day, and it shall be opened on the day of the new moon. ² And the prince shall enter by the way of the porch of the inner gate, and shall stand at the entrance of the gate, and the priests shall prepare his whole burnt offerings and his peace-offerings, and he shall worship at the entrance of the gate: then shall he come forth; but the gate shall not be shut till evening.

⁹ and the sons of Eliab, Namuel, and Dathan, and Abiron: these [are] renowned men of the congregation; these are they that rose up against Moses and Aaron in the gathering of Core, in the rebellion against the Lord. ¹⁰ And the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up them and Core, when their assembly perished, when the fire devoured the two hundred and fifty, and they were made a sign. ¹¹ But the sons of Core died not.

⁹ And the captains of hundreds did all things that the wise Jodae commanded; and they took each his men, both those that went in on the sabbath-day, and those that went out on the sabbath-day, and went in to Jodae the priest.

¹⁵ And Jodae the priest commanded the captains of hundreds who were over the host, and said to them, Bring her forth without the ranges, [and] he that goes in after her shall certainly die by the sword. For the priest said, Let her not however be slain in the house of the Lord.

²² The sons of Caath; Aminadab his son, Core his son, Aser his son; ²³ Helcana his son, Abisaph his son, Aser his son:

⁷ The sons of Samai; Othni, and Raphael, and Obed, and Elzabath, and Achiud, mighty men, Heliu, and Sabachia, and Isbacom. ⁸ All [these were] of the sons of Abdedom, they and their sons and their brethren, doing mightily in service: in all sixty-two [born] to Abdedom.

⁴ Now this [is] the thing which you⌃ shall do. Let a third part of you, [even] of the priests and of the Levites, enter in on the sabbath, even into the gates of the entrances; ⁵ and let a third part be in the house of the king; and another third at the middle gate: and all the people in the courts of the Lord's house. ⁶ And let not [any one] enter into the house of the Lord, except the priests and the Levites, and the servants of the Levites; they shall enter in, because they are holy: and let all the people keep the watch of the Lord. ⁷ And the Levites shall compass the king round about, every man's weapon in his hand; and whoever [else] goes into the house shall die: but they shall be with the king when he goes out, and when he comes in. ⁸ And the Levites and all Juda did according to all that the priest Jodae commanded them, and they took each his men from the beginning of the sabbath to the end of the sabbath, for Jodae the priest did not dismiss the courses. ⁹ And Jodae gave to the men the swords, and the shields, and the arms, which [had] belonged to King David, in the house of God. ¹⁰ And he set the whole people, every man with his arms, from the right side of the house to the left side of the altar and the house, over against the king round about.

¹ (43) A Psalm of David. Judge me, O God, and plead my cause, against an ungodly nation: deliver me from the unjust and crafty man.

¹ (45) For the end, for alternate [strains] by the sons of Core; for instruction, a Song concerning the beloved. My heart has uttered a good matter: I declare my works to the king: my tongue is the pen of a quick writer.

¹ (50) A Psalm for Asaph. The God of gods, the Lord, has spoken, and called the earth from the rising of the sun to the going down [thereof].

¹⁰ Mercy and truth are met together: righteousness and peace have kissed [each other].

³² And the chief over the chief of the Levites, [was] Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest, appointed to keep the charges of the holy things.

¹⁶ Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest is overseer—the oil of the light, and the incense of composition, and the daily meat-offering and the anointing oil, are his charge; even the oversight of the whole tabernacle, and all things that are in it in the holy place, in all the works.

⁷ And Phinees the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, saw it, and rose out of the midst of the congregation, and took a javelin in his hand, ⁸ and went in after the Israelitish man into the chamber, and pierced them both through, both the Israelitish man, and the woman through her womb; and the plague was stayed from the children of Israel. ⁹ And those that died in the plague were four and twenty thousand. ¹⁰ And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, ¹¹ Phinees the son of Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest has caused my wrath to cease from the children of Israel, when I was exceedingly jealous among them, and I did not consume the children of Israel in my jealousy. ¹² Thus do you say [to him], Behold, I give him a covenant of peace: ¹³ and he and his seed after him shall have a perpetual covenant of priesthood, because he was zealous for his God, and made atonement for the children of Israel.

⁶ And Moses sent them away a thousand of every tribe with their forces, and Phinees the son of Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest: and the holy instruments, and the signal trumpets [were] in their hands.

¹⁸ And one of his servants answered and said, Behold, I have seen a son of Jessae the Bethleemite, and he understands playing [on the harp], and the man [is] prudent, and a warrior, and wise in speech, and the man [is] handsome, and the Lord [is] with him.

² And Mosellemia's firstborn son [was] Zacharias, the second Jadiel, the third Zabadia, the fourth Jenuel,

¹⁴ And the lot of the east gates fell to Selemias, and Zacharias: the sons of Soaz cast lots for Melchias, and the lot came out northward.

⁹ Now before time in Israel every one in going to enquire of God said, Come and let us go to the seer; for the people beforetime called the prophet, the seer.

¹⁶ and Abdia, son of Samia, son of Galaal, son of Idithun, and Barachia son of Ossa, son of Helcana—who lived in the villages of the Notephatites.

²⁵ And their brethren [were] in their courts, to enter in weekly from time to time with these. ²⁶ For four strong [men] have the charge of the gates; and the Levites were over the chambers, and they keep watch over the treasures of the house of God.

³¹ And Matthathias of the Levites, (he [was] the firstborn of Salom the Corite,) [was set] in charge over the sacrifices of meat-offering of the pan belonging to the high priest.

¹ And David was old and full of days; and he made Solomon his son king over Israel in his stead. ² And he assembled all the chief men of Israel, and the priests, and the Levites. ³ And the Levites numbered [themselves] from thirty years old and upward; and their number by their polls amounted to thirty and eight thousand men. ⁴ Of the overseers over the works of the house of the Lord [there were] twenty-four thousand, and [there were] six thousand scribes and judges; ⁵ and four thousand doorkeepers, and four thousand to praise the Lord with instruments which he made to praise the Lord. ⁶ And David divided them [into] daily courses, for the sons of Levi, for Gedson, Caath, and Merari. ⁷ And for [the family of] Gedson, Edan, and Semei. ⁸ The sons of Edan [were] Jeiel, the chief, and Zethan, and Joel, three. ⁹ The sons of Semei; Salomith, Jeiel, and Dan, three: these [were] the chiefs of the families of Edan. ¹⁰ And to the sons of Semei, Jeth, and Ziza, and Joas, and Beria: these [were] the four sons of Semei. ¹¹ And Jeth was the chief, and Ziza the second: and Joas and Beria did not multiply sons, and they became [only] one reckoning according to the house of their father. ¹² The sons of Caath; Ambram, Isaar, Chebron, Oziel, four. ¹³ The sons of Ambram; Aaron and Moses: and Aaron was appointed for the consecration of the most holy things, he and his sons for ever, to burn incense before the Lord, to minister and bless in his name for ever. ¹⁴ And [as for] Moses the man of God, his sons were reckoned to the tribe of Levi. ¹⁵ The sons of Moses; Gersam, and Eliezer. ¹⁶ The sons of Gersam; Subael the chief. ¹⁷ And the sons of Eliezer were, Rabia the chief: and Eliezer had no other sons; but the sons of Rabia were very greatly multiplied. ¹⁸ The sons of Isaar; Salomoth the chief. ¹⁹ The sons of Chebron; Jeria the chief, Amaria the second, Jeziel the third, Jekemias the fourth. ²⁰ The sons of Oziel; Micha the chief, and Isia the second. ²¹ The sons of Merari; Mooli, and Musi: the sons of Mooli; Eleazar, and Kis. ²² And Eleazar died, and he had no sons, but daughters: and the sons of Kis, their brethren, took them. ²³ The sons of Musi; Mooli, and Eder, and Jarimoth, three. ²⁴ These [are] the sons of Levi according to the houses of their fathers; chiefs of their families according to their numbering, according to the number of their names, according to their polls, doing the works of service of the house of the Lord, from twenty years old and upward. ²⁵ For David said, The Lord God of Israel has given rest to his people, and has taken up his abode in Jerusalem for ever. ²⁶ And the Levites bore not the tabernacle, and all the vessels of it for its service. ²⁷ For by the last words of David was the number of the Levites [taken] from twenty years old and upward. ²⁸ For he appointed them to wait on Aaron, to minister in the house of the Lord, over the courts, and over the chambers, and over the purification of all the holy things, and over the works of the service of the house of God; ²⁹ and for the show-bread, and for the fine flour of the meat-offering, and for the unleavened cakes, and for the fried cake, and for the dough, and for every measure; ³⁰ and to stand in the morning to praise and give thanks to the Lord, and so in the evening; ³¹ and [to be] over all the whole burnt offerings that were offered up to the Lord on the sabbaths, and at the new moons, and at the feasts, by number, according to the order [given] to them, continually before the Lord. ³² And they are to keep the charge of the tabernacle of witness, and the charge of the holy place, and the charges of the sons of Aaron their brethren, to minister in the house of the Lord.

¹ And king David and the captains of the host appointed to their services the sons of Asaph, and of Aeman, and of Idithun, prophesiers with harps, and lutes, and cymbals: and their number was according to their polls serving in their ministrations. ² The sons of Asaph; Sacchur, Joseph, and Nathanias, and Erael: the sons of Asaph [were] next the king. ³ To Idithun [were reckoned] the sons of Idithun, Godolias, and Suri, and Iseas, and Asabias, and Matthathias, six after their father Idithun, sounding loudly on the harp thanksgiving and praise to the Lord. ⁴ To Aeman [were reckoned] the sons of Aeman, Bukias, and Matthanias, and Oziel, and Subael, and Jerimoth, and Ananias, and Anan, and Heliatha, and Godollathi, and Rometthiezer, and Jesbasaca, and Mallithi, and Otheri, and Meazoth. ⁵ All these [were] the sons of Aeman the king's chief player in the praises of God, to lift up the horn. And God gave to Aeman fourteen sons, and three daughters. ⁶ All these sang hymns with their father in the house of God, with cymbals, and lutes, and harps, for the service of the house of God, near the king, and Asaph, and Idithun, and Aeman. ⁷ And the number of them after their brethren, those instructed to sing to God, every one that understood [singing] was two hundred and eighty-eight. ⁸ And they also cast lots for the daily courses, for the great and the small [of them], of the perfect ones and the learners. ⁹ And the first lot of his sons and of his brethren came forth to Asaph the son of Joseph, [namely], Godolias: the second Heneia, his sons and his brethren [being] twelve. ¹⁰ The third Zacchur, his sons and his brethren [were] twelve: ¹¹ the fourth Jesri, his sons and his brethren [were] twelve: ¹² the fifth Nathan, his sons and his brethren, twelve: ¹³ the sixth Bukias, his sons and his brethren, twelve: ¹⁴ the seventh Iseriel, his sons and his brethren, twelve: ¹⁵ the eighth Josia, his sons and his brethren, twelve: ¹⁶ the ninth Matthanias, his sons and his brethren, twelve: ¹⁷ the tenth Semeia, his sons and his brethren, twelve: ¹⁸ the eleventh Asriel, his sons and his brethren, twelve: ¹⁹ the twelfth Asabia, his sons and his brethren, twelve: ²⁰ the thirteenth Subael, his sons and his brethren, twelve: ²¹ the fourteenth Matthathias, his sons and his brethren, twelve: ²² the fifteenth Jerimoth, his sons and his brethren, twelve: ²³ the sixteenth Anania, his sons and his brethren, twelve: ²⁴ the seventeenth Jesbasaca, his sons and his brethren, twelve: ²⁵ the eighteenth Ananias, his sons and his brethren, twelve: ²⁶ the nineteenth Mallithi, his sons and his brethren, twelve:

¹ And for the divisions of the gates: the sons of the Corites [were] Mosellemia, of the sons of Asaph. ² And Mosellemia's firstborn son [was] Zacharias, the second Jadiel, the third Zabadia, the fourth Jenuel,

¹³ and [the plan] of the courses of the priests and Levites, for all the work of the service of the house of the Lord, and of the stores of vessels for ministration of the service of the house of the Lord.

²¹ And see, [here are] the courses of the priests and Levites for all the service of the house of the Lord, and [there shall be] with you [men] for every workmanship, and every one of ready skill in every are: also the chief men and all the people, [ready] for all your commands.

¹⁵ by the hand of Odom, and Benjamin, and Jesus, and Semei, and Amarias, and Sechonias, by the hand of the priests faithfully, to give to their brethren according to the courses, as well to great as small;

¹⁸ to assign stations for all the increase of their sons and their daughters, for the whole number: for they faithfully sanctified the holy place.

²⁵ and with regard to villages in their country district: and [some] of the children of Juda lived in Cariatharboc, ²⁶ and in Jesu, ²⁷ and in Bersabee:

³⁰ And their villages [were] Lachis and her hands: and they pitched their tents in Bersabee.

³⁶ And of the Levites there were divisions to Juda [and] to Benjamin.

²⁸ And the sons of the singers were assembled both from the neighbourhood round about to Jerusalem, and from the villages, ²⁹ and from the country: for the singers built themselves villages by Jerusalem.

⁴⁴ And in that day they appointed men over the treasuries, for the treasures, the first fruits, and the tithes, and [for] the chiefs of the cities who were assembled among them, [to furnish] portions for the priests and Levites: for [there was] joy in Juda over the priests and over the Levites that waited.

³² And they are to keep the charge of the tabernacle of witness, and the charge of the holy place, and the charges of the sons of Aaron their brethren, to minister in the house of the Lord.

¹⁹ And the porters stood at the gates of the house of the Lord, that no one unclean in any respect should enter in.

⁴⁵ And they kept the charges of their God, and the charges of the purification, and [ordered] the singers and the porters, according to the commandments of David and his son Solomon.

¹⁰ But as for the Levites who departed far from me when Israel went astray from me after their imaginations, they shall even bear their iniquity. ¹¹ yet they shall minister in my sanctuary, [being] porters at the gates of the house, and serving the house: they shall kill the victims and the whole burnt offerings for the people, and they shall stand before the people to minister to them.

¹⁴ They shall bring them to keep the charges of the house, for all the service of it, and for all that they shall do.

¹⁴ And the lot of the east gates fell to Selemias, and Zacharias: the sons of Soaz cast lots for Melchias, and the lot came out northward. ¹⁵ To Abdedom [they gave by lot] the south, opposite the house of Esephim. ¹⁶ [They gave the lot] for the second to Osa westward, after the gate of the chamber by the ascent, watch against watch. ¹⁷ Eastward [were] six [watchmen] in the day; northward four by the day; southward four by the day; and two at the Esephim, ¹⁸ to relieve guard, also for Osa westward after the chamber-gate, three. [There was] a ward over against the ward of the ascent eastward, six [men] in a day, and four for the north, and four for the south, and at the Esephim two to relieve guard, and four by the west, and two to relieve guard at the pathway.

⁵ And charged them, saying, This [is] the thing which you⌃ shall do.

⁷ And there [shall be] two parties among you, even every one that goes out on the Sabbath, and they shall keep the guard of the Lord's house before the king.

⁸ And the Levites and all Juda did according to all that the priest Jodae commanded them, and they took each his men from the beginning of the sabbath to the end of the sabbath, for Jodae the priest did not dismiss the courses.

²⁰ And the Levites their brethren [were] over the treasures of the house of the Lord, and over the treasures of the hallowed things. ²¹ These [were] the sons of Ladan, the sons of the Gersonite: to Ladan [belonged] the heads of the families: [the son] of Ladan the Gersonite [was] Jeiel. ²² The sons of Jeiel [were] Zethom, and Joel; brethren [who were] over the treasures of the house of the Lord. ²³ To Ambram and Issaar belonged Chebron, and Oziel. ²⁴ And Subael the [son] of Gersam, the [son] of Moses, [was] over the treasures. ²⁵ And Rabias [was] son to his brother Eliezer, and [so was] Josias, and Joram, and Zechri, and Salomoth. ²⁶ This Salomoth and his brethren [were] over all the sacred treasures, which David the king and the heads of families consecrated, [and] the captains of thousands and captains of hundreds, and princes of the host, ²⁷ things which he took out of cities and from the spoils, and consecrated some of them, so that the building of the house of God should not lack [supplies];

⁵ And as he gave the command, Israel brought abundantly first fruits of corn, and wine, and oil, and honey, and every fruit of the field: and the children of Israel and Juda brought tithes of everything abundantly. ⁶ And they that lived in the cities of Juda themselves also brought tithes of calves and sheep, and tithes of goats, and consecrated them to the Lord their God, and they brought them and laid them in heaps. ⁷ In the third month the heaps began to be piled, and in the seventh month they were finished. ⁸ And Ezekias and the princes came and saw the heaps, and blessed the Lord, and his people Israel. ⁹ Then Ezekias enquired of the priests and the Levites concerning the heaps. ¹⁰ And Azarias the priest, the chief over the house of Sadoc, spoke to him, and said, From the time that the first fruits began to be brought into the house of the Lord, we have eaten and drunk, and left even abundantly; for the Lord has blessed his people, and we have left to this amount. ¹¹ And Ezekias told them yet farther to prepare chambers for the house of the Lord; and they prepared [them], ¹² and they brought there the first fruits and the tithes faithfully: and Chonenias the Levite was superintendent over them, and Semei his brother was next.

³⁸ And the priest the son of Aaron shall be with the Levites in the tithe of the Levite: and the Levites shall bring up the tenth part of [their] tithe to the house of our God, into the treasuries of the house of God. ³⁹ For the children of Israel and the children of Levi shall bring into the treasuries the first fruits of the corn, and wine, and oil; and there [are] the holy vessels, and the priests, and the ministers, and the porters, and the singers: and we will not forsake the house of our God.

⁵ and he made himself a great treasury, and there they were formerly in the habit of bestowing the offerings, and the frankincense, and the vessels, and the tithe of the corn, and the wine, and the oil, the ordered portion of the Levites, and singers, and porters; and the first fruits of the priests.

¹⁵ And Samuel slept till morning, and rose early in the morning, and opened the doors of the house of the Lord; and Samuel feared to tell [Heli] the vision.

¹⁰ Because even among you the doors shall be shut, and [one] will not kindle [the fire of] mine altar for nothing, I have no pleasure in you, says the Lord Almighty, and I will not accept a sacrifice at your hands.

²⁵ And Balac said to Balaam, Neither curse the people at all for me, nor bless them at all. ²⁶ And Balaam answered and said to Balac, Spoke I not to you, saying, Whatsoever thing God shall speak to me, that will I do? ²⁷ And Balac said to Balaam, Come [and] I will remove you to another place, if it shall please God, and curse me them from thence.

²² The sons of Jeiel [were] Zethom, and Joel; brethren [who were] over the treasures of the house of the Lord. ²³ To Ambram and Issaar belonged Chebron, and Oziel. ²⁴ And Subael the [son] of Gersam, the [son] of Moses, [was] over the treasures. ²⁵ And Rabias [was] son to his brother Eliezer, and [so was] Josias, and Joram, and Zechri, and Salomoth. ²⁶ This Salomoth and his brethren [were] over all the sacred treasures, which David the king and the heads of families consecrated, [and] the captains of thousands and captains of hundreds, and princes of the host,

²⁵ And I weighed to them the silver, and the gold, and the vessels of the first fruits of the house of our God, which the king, and his councillors, and his princes, and all Israel that were found, had dedicated. ²⁶ I even weighed into their hands six hundred and fifty talents of silver, and a hundred silver vessels, and a hundred talents of gold; ²⁷ and twenty golden bowls, [weighing] about a thousand drachmas, and superior vessels of fine shining brass, [precious] as gold. ²⁸ And I said to them, You⌃ [are] holy to the Lord; and the vessels [are] holy; and the silver and the gold are free will offerings to the Lord God of our fathers. ²⁹ Be watchful and keep them, until you⌃ weigh [them] before the chief priests and the Levites, and the chiefs of families in Jerusalem, at the chambers of the house of the Lord. ³⁰ So the priests and the Levites took the weight of the silver, and the gold, and the vessels, to bring to Jerusalem into the house of our God.

⁴ And before this time Eliasib the priest lived in the treasury of the house of our God, connected with Tobias; ⁵ and he made himself a great treasury, and there they were formerly in the habit of bestowing the offerings, and the frankincense, and the vessels, and the tithe of the corn, and the wine, and the oil, the ordered portion of the Levites, and singers, and porters; and the first fruits of the priests.

²⁰ And do you charge the children of Israel, and let them take for you refined pure olive-oil beaten to burn for light, that a lamp may burn continually

²³ Do you also take sweet herbs, the flower of choice myrrh five hundred shekels, and the half of this two hundred and fifty shekels of sweet smelling cinnamon, and two hundred and fifty shekels of sweet smelling calamus, ²⁴ and of cassia five hundred shekels of the sanctuary, and a hin of olive oil. ²⁵ And you shall make it a holy anointing oil, a perfumed ointment [tempered] by the are of the perfumer: it shall be a holy anointing oil. ²⁶ And you shall anoint with it the tabernacle of witness, and the ark of the tabernacle of witness, ²⁷ and all its furniture, and the candlestick and all its furniture, and the altar of incense, ²⁸ and the altar of whole burnt offerings and all its furniture, and the table and all its furniture, and the laver. ²⁹ And you shall sanctify them, and they shall be most holy: every one that touches them shall be hallowed. ³⁰ And you shall anoint Aaron and his sons, and sanctify them that they may minister to me as priests. ³¹ And you shall speak to the children of Israel, saying, This shall be to you a holy anointing oil throughout your generations. ³² On man's flesh it shall not be poured, and you⌃ shall not make [any] for yourselves according to this composition: it is holy, and shall be holiness to you. ³³ Whosoever shall make it in like manner, and whoever shall give of it to a stranger, shall be destroyed from among his people. ³⁴ And the Lord said to Moses, Take for yourself sweet herbs, stacte, onycha, sweet galbanum, and transparent frankincense; there shall be an equal weight of each. ³⁵ And they shall make with it perfumed incense, tempered with the are of a perfumer, a pure holy work. ³⁶ And of these you shall beat some small, and you shall put it before the testimonies in the tabernacle of testimony, whence I will make myself known to you: it shall be to you a most holy incense. ³⁷ You⌃ shall not make any for yourselves according to this composition; it shall be to you a holy thing for the Lord. ³⁸ Whosoever shall make any in like manner, so as to smell it, shall perish from his people.

²⁹ and for the show-bread, and for the fine flour of the meat-offering, and for the unleavened cakes, and for the fried cake, and for the dough, and for every measure;

²³ Do you also take sweet herbs, the flower of choice myrrh five hundred shekels, and the half of this two hundred and fifty shekels of sweet smelling cinnamon, and two hundred and fifty shekels of sweet smelling calamus, ²⁴ and of cassia five hundred shekels of the sanctuary, and a hin of olive oil. ²⁵ And you shall make it a holy anointing oil, a perfumed ointment [tempered] by the are of the perfumer: it shall be a holy anointing oil.

³³ Whosoever shall make it in like manner, and whoever shall give of it to a stranger, shall be destroyed from among his people.

⁵ And if your gift [be] a sacrifice from a pan, it is fine flour mingled with oil, unleavened [offerings].

⁷ And if your gift be a sacrifice from the hearth, it shall be made of fine flour with oil.

²¹ It shall be made with oil in a frying-pan; he shall offer it kneaded [and] in rolls, an offering of fragments, an offering of a sweet savor to the Lord.

¹⁷ The doorkeepers; Salom, Acum, Telmon, and Diman, and their brethren; Salom [was] the chief;

¹⁹ And Sellum the son of Core, the son of Abiasaph, the son of Core, and his brethren belonging to the house of his father, the Corites [were] over the works of the service, keeping the watches of the tabernacle, and their fathers over the camp of the Lord, keeping the entrance.

²² All the chosen porters in the gates [were] two hundred and twelve, these [were] in their courts, [this was] their distribution: these David and Samuel the seer established in their charge.

²⁶ For four strong [men] have the charge of the gates; and the Levites were over the chambers, and they keep watch over the treasures of the house of God.

³⁰ And you shall set upon the table show bread before me continually.

⁵ And you⌃ shall take fine flour, and make of it twelve loaves; each loaf shall be of two tenth parts. ⁶ And you⌃ shall put them [in] two rows, each row [containing] six loaves, on the pure table before the Lord. ⁷ And you⌃ shall put on [each] row pure frankincense and salt; and [these things] shall be for loaves for a memorial, set forth before the Lord. ⁸ On the sabbath-day they shall be set forth before the Lord continually before the children of Israel, for an everlasting covenant.

³³ And these [were the men] that stood, and their sons, of the sons of Caath: Aeman the psalm singer, son of Joel, the son of Samuel, ³⁴ the son of Helcana, the son of Jeroboam, the son of Eliel, the son of Thoas, ³⁵ the son of Suph, the son of Helcana, the son of Maath, the son of Amathi, ³⁶ the son of Helcana, the son of Joel, the son of Azarias, the son of Japhanias, ³⁷ the son of Thaath, the son of Aser, the son of Abiasaph, the son of Core, ³⁸ the son of Isaar, the son of Caath, the son of Levi, the son of Israel. ³⁹ And his brother Asaph, who stood at his right hand; Asaph the son of Barachias, the son of Samaa, ⁴⁰ the son of Michael, the son of Baasia, the son of Melchia, ⁴¹ the son of Athani, the son of Zaarai, ⁴² the son of Adai, the son of Aetham, the son of Zammam, the son of Semei, ⁴³ the son of Jeeth, the son of Gedson, the son of Levi. ⁴⁴ And the sons of Merari their brethren on the left hand: Aetham the son of Kisa, the son of Abai, the son of Maloch, ⁴⁵ the son of Asebi, ⁴⁶ the son of Amessias, the son of Bani, the son of Semer, ⁴⁷ the son of Mooli, the son of Musi, the son of Merari, the son of Levi. ⁴⁸ And their brethren according to the houses of their fathers, [were] the Levites who were appointed to all the work of ministration of the tabernacle of the house of God.
