1 E quanto aos filhos de Arão, estas foram as suas divisões: os filhos de Arão: Nadabe, Abiú, Eleazar e Itamar.
2 E morreram Nadabe e Abiú antes de seu pai, e não tiveram filhos; e Eleazar e Itamar administravam o sacerdócio.
3 E Davi, com Zadoque, dos filhos de Eleazar, e Aimeleque, dos filhos de Itamar, dividiu-os segundo o seu ofício no seu ministério.
4 E acharam-se muito mais chefes dos pais entre os filhos de Eleazar do que entre os filhos de Itamar, quando os repartiram; dos filhos de Eleazar dezesseis chefes das casas paternas, mas dos filhos de Itamar, segundo as casas paternas, oito.
5 E os repartiram por sortes, uns com os outros; porque houve governadores do santuário e governadores da casa de Deus, assim dentre os filhos de Eleazar, como dentre os filhos de Itamar.
6 E Semaías, filho de Natanael, o escrivão dentre os levitas, os registrou perante o rei, e os príncipes, e Zadoque, o sacerdote, e Aimeleque, filho de Abiatar, e os chefes dos pais entre os sacerdotes, e entre os levitas; dentre as casas dos pais tomou-se uma para Eleazar, e outra para Itamar.
7 E saiu a primeira sorte a Jeoiaribe, a segunda a Jedaías,
8 A terceira a Harim, a quarta a Seorim,
9 A quinta a Malquias, a sexta a Miamim,
10 A sétima a Hacoz, a oitava a Abias,
11 A nona a Jesua, a décima a Secanias,
12 A undécima a Eliasibe, a duodécima a Jaquim,
13 A décima terceira a Hupa, a décima quarta a Jesebeabe,
14 A décima quinta a Bilga, a décima sexta a Imer,
15 A décima sétima a Hezir, a décima oitava a Hapizes,
16 A décima nona a Petaías, a vigésima a Jeezquel,
17 A vigésima primeira a Jaquim, a vigésima segunda a Gamul,
18 A vigésima terceira a Delaías, a vigésima quarta a Maazias.
19 O ofício destes no seu ministério era entrar na casa do Senhor, segundo lhes fora ordenado por Arão seu pai, como o Senhor Deus de Israel lhe tinha mandado.
20 E do restante dos filhos de Levi: dos filhos de Anrão, Subael; dos filhos de Subael, Jedias.
21 Quanto a Reabias: dos filhos de Reabias, Issias era o primeiro;
22 Dos izaritas, Selomote; dos filhos de Selomote, Jaate;
23 E dos filhos de Hebrom, Jerias o primeiro, Amarias o segundo, Jaaziel o terceiro, Jecameão o quarto;
24 Dos filhos de Uziel, Mica; dos filhos de Mica, Samir;
25 O irmão de Mica, Issias; dos filhos de Issias, Zacarias;
26 Os filhos de Merari, Mali e Musi; dos filhos de Jaazias, Beno;
27 Os filhos de Merari: de Jaazias, Beno, e Soão, e Zacur, e Ibri;
28 De Mali, Eleazar; e este não teve filhos.
29 Quanto a Quis: dos filhos de Quis, Jerameel;
30 E os filhos de Musi: Mali, e Eder, e Jerimote; estes foram os filhos dos levitas, segundo as suas casas paternas.
31 Estes também lançaram sortes como seus irmãos, os filhos de Arão, perante o rei Davi, e Zadoque, e Aimeleque, e os chefes das famílias entre os sacerdotes e entre os levitas; assim fizeram, tanto os pais principais como os irmãos menores.
1 Now these are the divisions of the sons of Aaron. The sons of Aaron; Nadab, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
2 But Nadab and Abihu died before their father, and had no children: therefore Eleazar and Ithamar executed the priest’s office.
3 And David distributed them, both Zadok of the sons of Eleazar, and Ahimelech of the sons of Ithamar, according to their offices in their service.
4 And there were more chief men found of the sons of Eleazar than of the sons of Ithamar; and thus were they divided. Among the sons of Eleazar there were sixteen heads of their fathers’ houses, and eight heads of their fathers’ houses among the sons of Ithamar.
5 Thus were they divided by lot, one group as another; for the officials of the sanctuary, and officials of the house of God, were of the sons of Eleazar, and of the sons of Ithamar.
6 And Shemaiah the son of Nethanel the scribe, one of the Levites, wrote them down before the king, and the leaders, and Zadok the priest, and Ahimelech the son of Abiathar, and before the heads of the fathers’ houses of the priests and Levites: one father’s house being taken for Eleazar, and one taken for Ithamar.
7 Now the first lot came forth to Jehoiarib, the second to Jedaiah,
8 The third to Harim, the fourth to Seorim,
9 The fifth to Malchijah, the sixth to Mijamin,
10 The seventh to Hakkoz, the eighth to Abijah,
11 The ninth to Jeshuah, the tenth to Shecaniah,
12 The eleventh to Eliashib, the twelfth to Jakim,
13 The thirteenth to Huppah, the fourteenth to Jeshebeab,
14 The fifteenth to Bilgah, the sixteenth to Immer,
15 The seventeenth to Hezir, the eighteenth to Happizzez,
16 The nineteenth to Pethahiah, the twentieth to Jehezkel,
17 The one and twentieth to Jachin, the two and twentieth to Gamul,
18 The three and twentieth to Delaiah, the four and twentieth to Maaziah.
19 This was the schedule of them in their service to come into the house of the LORD, according to their procedure established under Aaron their father, as the LORD God of Israel had commanded him.
20 And the rest of the sons of Levi were these: Of the sons of Amram; Shubael: of the sons of Shubael; Jehdeiah.
21 Concerning Rehabiah: of the sons of Rehabiah, the first was Isshiah.
22 Of the Izharites; Shelomoth: of the sons of Shelomoth; Jahath.
23 And the sons of Hebron; Jeriah the first, Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third, Jekameam the fourth.
24 Of the sons of Uzziel; Micah: of the sons of Micah; Shamir.
25 The brother of Micah was Isshiah: of the sons of Isshiah; Zechariah.
26 The sons of Merari were Mahli and Mushi: the sons of Jaaziah; Beno.
27 The sons of Merari by Jaaziah; Beno, and Shoham, and Zaccur, and Ibri.
28 Of Mahli came Eleazar, who had no sons.
29 Concerning Kish: the son of Kish was Jerahmeel.
30 The sons also of Mushi; Mahli, and Eder, and Jerimoth. These were the sons of the Levites according to the house of their fathers.
31 These likewise cast lots even as their brethren the sons of Aaron in the presence of David the king, and Zadok, and Ahimelech, and the heads of the fathers’ houses of the priests and Levites; the principal fathers did even as their younger brethren.
