1 Now the divisions into which the sons of Aaron were grouped were these: the sons of Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar.
2 But Nadab and Abihu came to their end before their father, and had no children; so Eleazar and Ithamar did the work of priests.
3 And David, with Zadok of the sons of Eleazar, and Ahimelech of the sons of Ithamar, made distribution of them into their positions for their work.
4 And there were more chiefs among the sons of Eleazar than among the sons of Ithamar; and this is how they were grouped: of the sons of Eleazar there were sixteen, all heads of families; and of the sons of Ithamar, heads of families, there were eight.
5 So they were put into groups, by the Lord's decision, one with another; for there were rulers of the holy place and rulers of the house of God among the sons of Eleazar and the sons of Ithamar.
6 And Shemaiah, the son of Nethanel the scribe, who was a Levite, put down their names in writing, the king being present with the rulers, and Zadok the priest, and Ahimelech, the son of Abiathar, and the heads of families of the priests and the Levites; one family being taken for Eleazar and then one for Ithamar, and so on.
7 Now the first name to come out was that of Jehoiarib; the second Jedaiah,
8 The third Harim, the fourth Seorim,
9 The fifth Malchijah, the sixth Mijamin,
10 The seventh Hakkoz, the eighth Abijah,
11 The ninth Jeshua, the tenth Shecaniah,
12 The eleventh Eliashib, the twelfth Jakim,
13 The thirteenth Huppah, the fourteenth Jeshebeab,
14 The fifteenth Bilgah, the sixteenth Immer,
15 The seventeenth Hezir, the eighteenth Happizzez,
16 The nineteenth Pethahiah, the twentieth Jehezkel,
17 The twenty-first Jachin, the twenty-second Gamul,
18 The twenty-third Delaiah, the twenty-fourth Maaziah.
19 So they were put into their different groups, to take their places in the house of the Lord, in agreement with the rules made by Aaron their father, as the Lord, the God of Israel, had given him orders.
20 And of the rest of the sons of Levi: of the sons of Amram, Shubael; of the sons of Shubael, Jehdeiah.
21 Of Rehabiah; of the sons of Rehabiah, Isshiah the chief.
22 Of the Izharites, Shelomoth; of the sons of Shelomoth, Jahath.
23 And the sons of Hebron: Jeriah the chief, Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third, Jekameam the fourth.
24 The sons of Uzziel, Micah; of the sons of Micah, Shamir.
25 The brother of Micah, Isshiah; of the sons of Isshiah, Zechariah.
26 The sons of Merari: Mahli and Mushi; the sons of Jaaziah.
27 The sons of Merari: of Jaaziah, Shoham and Zaccur and Ibri.
28 Of Mahli: Eleazar, who had no sons.
29 Of Kish: the sons of Kish, Jerahmeel.
30 And the sons of Mushi: Mahli and Eder and Jerimoth. These were the sons of the Levites by their families.
31 Selection was made of these in the same way as of their brothers the sons of Aaron, David the king being present, with Zadok, and Ahimelech, and the heads of families of the priests and of the Levites; the families of the chief in the same way as those of his younger brother.
1 亚伦子孙的班次如下： 亚伦的儿子是拿答、亚比户、以利亚撒和以他玛。
2 拿答和亚比户比他们的父亲早死， 又没有儿子； 所以以利亚撒和以他玛作了祭司。
3 大卫和以利亚撒的子孙撒督， 以及以他玛的子孙亚希米勒， 把他们的亲族分开班次， 按着他们的职责服事。
4 后来发现以利亚撒的子孙， 比以他玛的子孙更多作首领的， 就把他们分开班次； 以利亚撒子孙中作首领的， 按着他们的家族有十六人； 以他玛子孙中作首领的， 按着他们的家族有八人。
5 以抽签的方式平均地把他们分开， 因为在以利亚撒的子孙中和以他玛的子孙中都有人在圣所作领袖， 以及在 神面前作领袖。
6 作书记的利未人拿坦业的儿子示玛雅， 在君王、领袖、撒督祭司、亚比亚他的儿子亚希米勒， 以及众祭司家族和利未家族的首领面前， 把他们的名字记录下来。在以利亚撒的子孙中， 有一家族被选取了； 在以他玛的子孙中， 也有一家族被选取了。

19 这就是他们的班次， 是照着耶和华以色列的 神借着他们的祖宗亚伦所吩咐的条例， 进入耶和华的殿， 办理事务。
20 利未还有其他子孙： 暗兰的子孙中有书巴业； 书巴业的子孙中有耶希底亚。

28 抹利的儿子是以利亚撒； 以利亚撒没有儿子。
29 至于基士： 基士的众子中有耶拉篾。
30 母示的儿子是末力、以得和耶利摩； 以上这些都是利未的子孙， 按着他们的家族记录。
31 他们在大卫王、撒督、亚希米勒， 以及祭司和利未人的家族首领面前也抽了签， 好像他们的亲族亚伦的子孙一样； 各家族首领和他们年幼的兄弟都一样抽了签。
