Jahath was the first and Ziza the second, but Jeush and Beriah did not have many sons; so they were counted as one family with one assignment.
The sons of Kohath: Amram, Izhar, Hebron and Uzziel--four in all.
The sons of Amram: Aaron and Moses. Aaron was set apart, he and his descendants forever, to consecrate the most holy things, to offer sacrifices before the LORD, to minister before him and to pronounce blessings in his name forever.
The sons of Moses the man of God were counted as part of the tribe of Levi.
The sons of Moses: Gershom and Eliezer.
야핫은 족장이고, 그 다음은 시사이다. 여우스와 브리아는 아들이 많지 않아서, 한 집안, 한 갈래로 간주되었다.
The sons of Merari: Mahli and Mushi. The sons of Mahli: Eleazar and Kish.
Eleazar died without having sons: he had only daughters. Their cousins, the sons of Kish, married them.
The sons of Mushi: Mahli, Eder and Jerimoth--three in all.
These were the descendants of Levi by their families--the heads of families as they were registered under their names and counted individually, that is, the workers twenty years old or more who served in the temple of the LORD.
For David had said, "Since the LORD, the God of Israel, has granted rest to his people and has come to dwell in Jerusalem forever,
이들은, 각자의 가문별로 인구를 조사하여 이름이 기록된 레위의 자손으로서, 주님의 성전에서 섬기는 일을 하는 스무 살이 넘은 각 가문의 족장들이다.
다윗이 말하였다. "주 이스라엘의 하나님께서 그의 백성에게 평안을 주시고, 예루살렘에 영원히 계실 것이므로,
the Levites no longer need to carry the tabernacle or any of the articles used in its service."
According to the last instructions of David, the Levites were counted from those twenty years old or more.
The duty of the Levites was to help Aaron's descendants in the service of the temple of the LORD : to be in charge of the courtyards, the side rooms, the purification of all sacred things and the performance of other duties at the house of God.
They were in charge of the bread set out on the table, the flour for the grainofferings, the unleavened wafers, the baking and the mixing, and all measurements of quantity and size.
They were also to stand every morning to thank and praise the LORD. They were to do the same in the evening
and whenever burnt offerings were presented to the LORD on Sabbaths and at New Moon festivals and at appointed feasts. They were to serve before the LORD regularly in the proper number and in the way prescribed for them.
And so the Levites carried out their responsibilities for the Tent of Meeting, for the Holy Place and, under their brothers the descendants of Aaron, for the service of the temple of the LORD.
안식일과 초하루와 절기에 주님께 번제를 드리되, 규례에 따라 정한 수대로, 거르지 않고 항상 주님 앞에 드리는 일을 맡았다.
이렇게 그들은 회막과 성소를 보살피는 책임과, 그들의 친족 아론 자손을 도와 주님의 성전에서 섬기는 책임을 맡았다.
