So when David was old and full of days, he made Shelomo his son king over Yisra᾽el.

And David was old and sated of days and he made Solomon his son king over Israel.

And he gathered together all the princes of Yisra᾽el, with the priests and the Levites.

And he gathered together all the officers of Israel and the priests and the Levites.

Now the Levites were numbered from the age of thirty years and upwards: and their number by their polls, man by man, was thirty eight thousand.

And the Levites were counted from thirty years old and above, and their number by their heads was thirty-three thousand men.

Twenty four thousand of these were to oversee the work of the house of the Lord; and six thousand were officers and judges:

Of these [(I, David, appointed)] to officiate at the service of the house of the L-rd, twenty-four thousand; and officers and judges, six thousand.

and four thousand were gatekeepers; and four thousand praised the Lord with the instruments which I made for praise.

And four thousand gatekeepers and four thousand praising the L-rd with instruments that I made for (such) praise.

And David divided them into sections according to the sons of Levi; Gershon, Qehat, and Merari.

And David made divisions of the sons of Levi: Gershom, Kehoth and Merari:

Of the Gershoni there were: La῾adan, and Shim῾i.

Of the Gershunites: La'adan and Shim'i.

The sons of La῾adan; the chief was Yeĥi᾽el, and Zetam, and Yo᾽el three.

The sons of La'adan: the head, Yechiel, and Zetham and Yoel, three.

The sons of Shim῾i; Shelomit, and Ḥazi᾽el, and Ḥaran; three. These were the chiefs of the fathers’ houses of La῾adan.

The sons of Shim'i: Shlomith, Chaziel and Haran. These three were heads of the fathers' houses of La'adan.

And the sons of Shim῾i were, Yaĥat, Zina, and Ye῾ush, and Beri῾a. These four were the sons of Shim῾i.

And the sons of Shim'i [(the son of Gershon)]: Yachath, Zina, and Yeush and Beriah. These, the sons of Shim'i, were four.

And Yaĥat was the chief, and Ziza the second: but Ye῾ush and Beri῾a had not many sons; therefore they became a father’s house in one reckoning.

And Yachath was the head, and Zizah, the second. And Yeush and Beriah did not have many children and they were a father's house as one.

The sons of Qehat; ῾Amram, Yiżhar, Ḥevron, and ῾Uzzi᾽el; four.

The sons of Kehoth: Amram, Yitzhar, Chevron and Uziel, four.

The sons of ῾Amram; Aharon and Moshe: and Aharon was separated, that he should be sanctified as most holy, he and his sons forever, to burn incense before the Lord, to minister to him, and to bless in his name forever.

The sons of Amram: Aaron and Moses. And Aaron was set apart to be sanctified as holy of holies, he and his sons forever, to burn incense before the L-rd, to minister before the L-rd and to bless [(Israel)] in His name, forever.

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

The sons of Mushi; Maĥli, and ῾Eder, and Yeremot, three.

These were the sons of Levi according to the houses of their fathers; the heads of father’s houses, as they were counted by number of names by their polls, who did the work for the service of the house of the Lord, from the age of twenty years and upwards.

These are the sons of Levi by their fathers' houses, the heads of the fathers' [houses] by their count, by the number of names according to head (count), doing the work for the service of the house of the L-rd, from twenty years and above.

For David said, The Lord God of Yisra᾽el has given rest to his people, that they may dwell in Yerushalayim forever:

For David said: The L-rd G-d has given rest to His people Israel, and He has made Jerusalem His abode forever.

and also to the Levites that they shall no more need to carry the tabernacle, nor any vessels of it for its service.

And, also, the Levites need not bear the tabernacle and all its vessels for its service.

For by the last ordinances of David the Levites were numbered from twenty years old and above:

For, in the latter words of David [(as opposed to the former [verse 3])], they are the number of the sons of Levi, from twenty years old and above.

because their station was at the side of the sons of Aharon 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;

For their posts were alongside the sons of Aaron for the service of the house of the L-rd, for the [(Temple)] courts and for the chambers and for the purity of all sacred (objects) and (for) performance of the service of the house of G-d.

both for the showbread, and for the fine flour for a meal 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;

And for the showbread and for the fine flour for the meal-offering, and for unleavened wafers and for griddle [meal-offerings] and for soaked [fine flour meal-offerings] and for all liquid measures and dry measures.

and to stand every morning to thank and praise the Lord, and likewise at evening;

And to stand every morning [(to sing at the daily offerings)] to give thanks and praise to the L-rd, and so in the evening.

and whenever burnt sacrifices are offered to the Lord on the sabbaths, on the new moons, and on the appointed seasons, by number, according to the order commanded to them, continually before the Lord:

And for all the burnt-offering sacrifices to the L-rd, on Sabbaths, New Moons and festivals, according to their ordained number, always, before the L-rd.

and that they should keep the charge of the Tent of Meeting, and the charge of the holy place, and the charge of the sons of Aharon their brethren, for the service of the house of the Lord.

And they shall keep the watch of the tent of meeting and the watch of the sacred (objects) and the watch of the sons of Aaron their brothers for the service of the house of the L-rd.
