Verses 201–300 of 321 (page 3 of 4)
וְהִקִּיפוּ הַלְוִיִּם אֶת-הַמֶּלֶךְ סָבִיב אִישׁ וְכֵלָיו בְּיָדוֹ וְהַבָּא אֶל-הַבַּיִת יוּמָת וִֽהְיוּ אֶת-הַמֶּלֶךְ בְּבֹאוֹ וּבְצֵאתֽוֹ׃
And the Levites shall compass the king round about, every man with his weapons in his hand; and whosoever else cometh into the house, he shall be put to death: but be ye with the king when he cometh in, and when he goeth out.
וַיַּֽעֲשׂוּ הַלְוִיִּם וְכָל-יְהוּדָה כְּכֹל אֲשֶׁר-צִוָּה יְהֽוֹיָדָע הַכֹּהֵן וַיִּקְחוּ אִישׁ אֶת-אֲנָשָׁיו בָּאֵי הַשַּׁבָּת עִם יֽוֹצְאֵי הַשַּׁבָּת כִּי לֹא פָטַר יְהֽוֹיָדָע הַכֹּהֵן אֶת-הַֽמַּחְלְקֽוֹת׃
So the Levites and all Judah did according to all things that Jehoiada the priest had commanded, and took every man his men that were to come in on the sabbath, with them that were to go out on the sabbath: for Jehoiada the priest dismissed not the courses.
וַיָּשֶׂם יְהֽוֹיָדָע פְּקֻדּוֹת בֵּית יְהוָה בְּיַד הַכֹּֽהֲנִים הַלְוִיִּם אֲשֶׁר חָלַק דָּוִיד עַל-בֵּית יְהוָה לְֽהַעֲלוֹת עֹלוֹת יְהוָה כַּכָּתוּב בְּתוֹרַת מֹשֶׁה בְּשִׂמְחָה וּבְשִׁיר עַל יְדֵי דָוִֽיד׃
Also Jehoiada appointed the offices of the house of the LORD by the hand of the priests the Levites, whom David had distributed in the house of the LORD, to offer the burnt offerings of the LORD, as it is written in the law of Moses, with rejoicing and with singing, as it was ordained by David.
וַיִּקְבֹּץ אֶת-הַכֹּֽהֲנִים וְהַלְוִיִּם וַיֹּאמֶר לָהֶם צְאוּ לְעָרֵי יְהוּדָה וְקִבְצוּ מִכָּל-יִשְׂרָאֵל כֶּסֶף לְחַזֵּק׀ אֶת-בֵּית אֱלֹֽהֵיכֶם מִדֵּי שָׁנָה בְּשָׁנָה וְאַתֶּם תְּמַֽהֲרוּ לַדָּבָר וְלֹא מִֽהֲרוּ הַלְוִיִּֽם׃
And he gathered together the priests and the Levites, and said to them, Go out unto the cities of Judah, and gather of all Israel money to repair the house of your God from year to year, and see that ye hasten the matter. Howbeit the Levites hastened it not.
וַיִּקְרָא הַמֶּלֶךְ לִיהֽוֹיָדָע הָרֹאשׁ וַיֹּאמֶר לוֹ מַדּוּעַ לֹֽא-דָרַשְׁתָּ עַל-הַלְוִיִּם לְהָבִיא מִֽיהוּדָה וּמִירֽוּשָׁלִַם אֶת-מַשְׂאַת מֹשֶׁה עֶֽבֶד-יְהוָה וְהַקָּהָל לְיִשְׂרָאֵל לְאֹהֶל הָֽעֵדֽוּת׃
And the king called for Jehoiada the chief, and said unto him, Why hast thou not required of the Levites to bring in out of Judah and out of Jerusalem the collection, according to the commandment of Moses the servant of the LORD, and of the congregation of Israel, for the tabernacle of witness?
וַיְהִי בְּעֵת יָבִיא אֶת-הָֽאָרוֹן אֶל-פְּקֻדַּת הַמֶּלֶךְ בְּיַד הַלְוִיִּם וְכִרְאוֹתָם כִּי-רַב הַכֶּסֶף וּבָא סוֹפֵר הַמֶּלֶךְ וּפְקִיד כֹּהֵן הָרֹאשׁ וִיעָרוּ אֶת-הָאָרוֹן וְיִשָּׂאֻהוּ וִֽישִׁיבֻהוּ אֶל-מְקֹמוֹ כֹּה עָשׂוּ לְיוֹם׀ בְּיוֹם וַיַּֽאַסְפוּ-כֶסֶף לָרֹֽב׃
Now it came to pass, that at what time the chest was brought unto the king's office by the hand of the Levites, and when they saw that there was much money, the king's scribe and the high priest's officer came and emptied the chest, and took it, and carried it to his place again. Thus they did day by day, and gathered money in abundance.
וַיָּבֵא אֶת-הַכֹּֽהֲנִים וְאֶת-הַלְוִיִּם וַיַּֽאַסְפֵם לִרְחוֹב הַמִּזְרָֽח׃
And he brought in the priests and the Levites, and gathered them together into the east street,
וַיֹּאמֶר לָהֶם שְׁמָעוּנִי הַלְוִיִּם עַתָּה הִֽתְקַדְּשׁוּ וְקַדְּשׁוּ אֶת-בֵּית יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵי אֲבֹֽתֵיכֶם וְהוֹצִיאוּ אֶת-הַנִּדָּה מִן-הַקֹּֽדֶשׁ׃
And said unto them, Hear me, ye Levites, sanctify now yourselves, and sanctify the house of the LORD God of your fathers, and carry forth the filthiness out of the holy place.
וַיָּקֻמוּ הַלְוִיִּם מַחַת בֶּן-עֲמָשַׂי וְיוֹאֵל בֶּן-עֲזַרְיָהוּ מִן-בְּנֵי הַקְּהָתִי וּמִן-בְּנֵי מְרָרִי קִישׁ בֶּן-עַבְדִּי וַֽעֲזַרְיָהוּ בֶּן-יְהַלֶּלְאֵל וּמִן-הַגֵּרְשֻׁנִּי יוֹאָח בֶּן-זִמָּה וְעֵדֶן בֶּן-יוֹאָֽח׃
Then the Levites arose, Mahath the son of Amasai, and Joel the son of Azariah, of the sons of the Kohathites: and of the sons of Merari, Kish the son of Abdi, and Azariah the son of Jehalelel: and of the Gershonites; Joah the son of Zimmah, and Eden the son of Joah:
וַיָּבֹאוּ הַכֹּֽהֲנִים לִפְנִימָה בֵית-יְהוָה לְטַהֵר וַיּוֹצִיאוּ אֵת כָּל-הַטֻּמְאָה אֲשֶׁר מָֽצְאוּ בְּהֵיכַל יְהוָה לַֽחֲצַר בֵּית יְהוָה וַֽיְקַבְּלוּ הַלְוִיִּם לְהוֹצִיא לְנַֽחַל-קִדְרוֹן חֽוּצָה׃
And the priests went into the inner part of the house of the LORD, to cleanse it, and brought out all the uncleanness that they found in the temple of the LORD into the court of the house of the LORD. And the Levites took it, to carry it out abroad into the brook Kidron.
וַיַּֽעֲמֵד אֶת-הַלְוִיִּם בֵּית יְהוָה בִּמְצִלְתַּיִם בִּנְבָלִים וּבְכִנֹּרוֹת בְּמִצְוַת דָּוִיד וְגָד חֹזֵֽה-הַמֶּלֶךְ וְנָתָן הַנָּבִיא כִּי בְיַד-יְהוָה הַמִּצְוָה בְּיַד-נְבִיאָֽיו׃
And he set the Levites in the house of the LORD with cymbals, with psalteries, and with harps, according to the commandment of David, and of Gad the king's seer, and Nathan the prophet: for so was the commandment of the LORD by his prophets.
וַיַּֽעַמְדוּ הַלְוִיִּם בִּכְלֵי דָוִיד וְהַכֹּֽהֲנִים בַּחֲצֹֽצְרֽוֹת׃
And the Levites stood with the instruments of David, and the priests with the trumpets.
וַיֹּאמֶר יְחִזְקִיָּהוּ הַמֶּלֶךְ וְהַשָּׂרִים לַלְוִיִּם לְהַלֵּל לַֽיהוָה בְּדִבְרֵי דָוִיד וְאָסָף הַֽחֹזֶה וַֽיְהַלְלוּ עַד-לְשִׂמְחָה וַֽיִּקְּדוּ וַיִּֽשְׁתַּחֲוֽוּ׃
Moreover Hezekiah the king and the princes commanded the Levites to sing praise unto the LORD with the words of David, and of Asaph the seer. And they sang praises with gladness, and they bowed their heads and worshipped.
רַק הַכֹּֽהֲנִים הָיוּ לִמְעָט וְלֹא יָֽכְלוּ לְהַפְשִׁיט אֶת-כָּל-הָֽעֹלוֹת וַֽיְחַזְּקוּם אֲחֵיהֶם הַלְוִיִּם עַד-כְּלוֹת הַמְּלָאכָה וְעַד יִתְקַדְּשׁוּ הַכֹּֽהֲנִים כִּי הַלְוִיִּם יִשְׁרֵי לֵבָב לְהִתְקַדֵּשׁ מֵהַכֹּֽהֲנִֽים׃
But the priests were too few, so that they could not flay all the burnt offerings: wherefore their brethren the Levites did help them, till the work was ended, and until the other priests had sanctified themselves: for the Levites were more upright in heart to sanctify themselves than the priests.
וַיִּשְׁחֲטוּ הַפֶּסַח בְּאַרְבָּעָה עָשָׂר לַחֹדֶשׁ הַשֵּׁנִי וְהַכֹּֽהֲנִים וְהַלְוִיִּם נִכְלְמוּ וַיִּֽתְקַדְּשׁוּ וַיָּבִיאוּ עֹלוֹת בֵּית יְהוָֽה׃
Then they killed the passover on the fourteenth day of the second month: and the priests and the Levites were ashamed, and sanctified themselves, and brought in the burnt offerings into the house of the LORD.
וַיַּֽעַמְדוּ עַל-עָמְדָם כְּמִשְׁפָּטָם כְּתוֹרַת מֹשֶׁה אִישׁ-הָֽאֱלֹהִים הַכֹּֽהֲנִים זֹֽרְקִים אֶת-הַדָּם מִיַּד הַלְוִיִּֽם׃
And they stood in their place after their manner, according to the law of Moses the man of God: the priests sprinkled the blood, which they received of the hand of the Levites.
כִּֽי-רַבַּת בַּקָּהָל אֲשֶׁר לֹֽא-הִתְקַדָּשׁוּ וְהַלְוִיִּם עַל-שְׁחִיטַת הַפְּסָחִים לְכֹל לֹא טָהוֹר לְהַקְדִּישׁ לַֽיהוָֽה׃
For there were many in the congregation that were not sanctified: therefore the Levites had the charge of the killing of the passovers for every one that was not clean, to sanctify them unto the LORD.
וַיַּֽעֲשׂוּ בְנֵֽי-יִשְׂרָאֵל הַנִּמְצְאִים בִּירֽוּשָׁלִַם אֶת-חַג הַמַּצּוֹת שִׁבְעַת יָמִים בְּשִׂמְחָה גְדוֹלָה וּֽמְהַלְלִים לַֽיהוָה יוֹם׀ בְּיוֹם הַלְוִיִּם וְהַכֹּֽהֲנִים בִּכְלֵי-עֹז לַֽיהוָֽה׃
And the children of Israel that were present at Jerusalem kept the feast of unleavened bread seven days with great gladness: and the Levites and the priests praised the LORD day by day, singing with loud instruments unto the LORD.
וַיְדַבֵּר יְחִזְקִיָּהוּ עַל-לֵב כָּל-הַלְוִיִּם הַמַּשְׂכִּילִים שֵֽׂכֶל-טוֹב לַֽיהוָה וַיֹּֽאכְלוּ אֶת-הַמּוֹעֵד שִׁבְעַת הַיָּמִים מְזַבְּחִים זִבְחֵי שְׁלָמִים וּמִתְוַדִּים לַֽיהוָה אֱלֹהֵי אֲבֽוֹתֵיהֶֽם׃
And Hezekiah spake comfortably unto all the Levites that taught the good knowledge of the LORD: and they did eat throughout the feast seven days, offering peace offerings, and making confession to the LORD God of their fathers.
וַֽיִּשְׂמְחוּ׀ כָּל-קְהַל יְהוּדָה וְהַכֹּֽהֲנִים וְהַלְוִיִּם וְכָל-הַקָּהָל הַבָּאִים מִיִּשְׂרָאֵל וְהַגֵּרִים הַבָּאִים מֵאֶרֶץ יִשְׂרָאֵל וְהַיּֽוֹשְׁבִים בִּֽיהוּדָֽה׃
And all the congregation of Judah, with the priests and the Levites, and all the congregation that came out of Israel, and the strangers that came out of the land of Israel, and that dwelt in Judah, rejoiced.
וַיָּקֻמוּ הַכֹּֽהֲנִים הַלְוִיִּם וַיְבָרֲכוּ אֶת-הָעָם וַיִּשָּׁמַע בְּקוֹלָם וַתָּבוֹא תְפִלָּתָם לִמְעוֹן קָדְשׁוֹ לַשָּׁמָֽיִם׃
Then the priests the Levites arose and blessed the people: and their voice was heard, and their prayer came up to his holy dwelling place, even unto heaven.
וַיַּֽעֲמֵד יְחִזְקִיָּהוּ אֶת-מַחְלְקוֹת הַכֹּֽהֲנִים וְהַלְוִיִּם עַֽל-מַחְלְקוֹתָם אִישׁ׀ כְּפִי עֲבֹֽדָתוֹ לַכֹּֽהֲנִים וְלַלְוִיִּם לְעֹלָה וְלִשְׁלָמִים לְשָׁרֵת וּלְהֹדוֹת וּלְהַלֵּל בְּשַֽׁעֲרֵי מַֽחֲנוֹת יְהוָֽה׃
And Hezekiah appointed the courses of the priests and the Levites after their courses, every man according to his service, the priests and Levites for burnt offerings and for peace offerings, to minister, and to give thanks, and to praise in the gates of the tents of the LORD.
וַיֹּאמֶר לָעָם לְיֽוֹשְׁבֵי יְרֽוּשָׁלִַם לָתֵת מְנָת הַכֹּֽהֲנִים וְהַלְוִיִּם לְמַעַן יֶֽחֶזְקוּ בְּתוֹרַת יְהוָֽה׃
Moreover he commanded the people that dwelt in Jerusalem to give the portion of the priests and the Levites, that they might be encouraged in the law of the LORD.
וַיִּדְרֹשׁ יְחִזְקִיָּהוּ עַל-הַכֹּהֲנִים וְהַלְוִיִּם עַל-הָֽעֲרֵמֽוֹת׃
Then Hezekiah questioned with the priests and the Levites concerning the heaps.
וַיָּבִיאוּ אֶת-הַתְּרוּמָה וְהַֽמַּעֲשֵׂר וְהַקֳּדָשִׁים בֶּֽאֱמוּנָה וַֽעֲלֵיהֶם נָגִיד (כונניהו) כָּֽנַנְיָהוּ הַלֵּוִי וְשִׁמְעִי אָחִיהוּ מִשְׁנֶֽה׃
And brought in the offerings and the tithes and the dedicated things faithfully: over which Cononiah the Levite was ruler, and Shimei his brother was the next.
וְקוֹרֵא בֶן-יִמְנָה הַלֵּוִי הַשּׁוֹעֵר לַמִּזְרָחָה עַל נִדְבוֹת הָֽאֱלֹהִים לָתֵת תְּרוּמַת יְהוָה וְקָדְשֵׁי הַקֳּדָשִֽׁים׃
And Kore the son of Imnah the Levite, the porter toward the east, was over the freewill offerings of God, to distribute the oblations of the LORD, and the most holy things.
וְאֵת הִתְיַחֵשׂ הַכֹּֽהֲנִים לְבֵית אֲבֽוֹתֵיהֶם וְהַלְוִיִּם מִבֶּן עֶשְׂרִים שָׁנָה וּלְמָעְלָה בְּמִשְׁמְרֽוֹתֵיהֶם בְּמַחְלְקֽוֹתֵיהֶֽם׃
Both to the genealogy of the priests by the house of their fathers, and the Levites from twenty years old and upward, in their charges by their courses;
וְלִבְנֵי אַֽהֲרֹן הַכֹּֽהֲנִים בִּשְׂדֵי מִגְרַשׁ עָֽרֵיהֶם בְּכָל-עִיר וָעִיר אֲנָשִׁים אֲשֶׁר נִקְּבוּ בְּשֵׁמוֹת לָתֵת מָנוֹת לְכָל-זָכָר בַּכֹּהֲנִים וּלְכָל-הִתְיַחֵשׂ בַּלְוִיִּֽם׃
Also of the sons of Aaron the priests, which were in the fields of the suburbs of their cities, in every several city, the men that were expressed by name, to give portions to all the males among the priests, and to all that were reckoned by genealogies among the Levites.
וַיָּבֹאוּ אֶל-חִלְקִיָּהוּ׀ הַכֹּהֵן הַגָּדוֹל וַֽיִּתְּנוּ אֶת-הַכֶּסֶף הַמּוּבָא בֵית-אֱלֹהִים אֲשֶׁר אָסְפֽוּ-הַלְוִיִּם שֹֽׁמְרֵי הַסַּף מִיַּד מְנַשֶּׁה וְאֶפְרַיִם וּמִכֹּל שְׁאֵרִית יִשְׂרָאֵל וּמִכָּל-יְהוּדָה וּבִנְיָמִן (וישבי) וַיָּשֻׁבוּ יְרֽוּשָׁלִָֽם׃
And when they came to Hilkiah the high priest, they delivered the money that was brought into the house of God, which the Levites that kept the doors had gathered of the hand of Manasseh and Ephraim, and of all the remnant of Israel, and of all Judah and Benjamin; and they returned to Jerusalem.
וְהָֽאֲנָשִׁים עֹשִׂים בֶּֽאֱמוּנָה בַּמְּלָאכָה וַֽעֲלֵיהֶם׀ מֻפְקָדִים יַחַת וְעֹֽבַדְיָהוּ הַלְוִיִּם מִן-בְּנֵי מְרָרִי וּזְכַרְיָה וּמְשֻׁלָּם מִן-בְּנֵי הַקְּהָתִים לְנַצֵּחַ וְהַלְוִיִּם כָּל-מֵבִין בִּכְלֵי-שִֽׁיר׃
And the men did the work faithfully: and the overseers of them were Jahath and Obadiah, the Levites, of the sons of Merari; and Zechariah and Meshullam, of the sons of the Kohathites, to set it forward; and other of the Levites, all that could skill of instruments of musick.
וְעַל הַסַּבָּלִים וּֽמְנַצְּחִים לְכֹל עֹשֵׂה מְלָאכָה לַֽעֲבוֹדָה וַֽעֲבוֹדָה וּמֵֽהַלְוִיִּם סֽוֹפְרִים וְשֹֽׁטְרִים וְשֽׁוֹעֲרִֽים׃
Also they were over the bearers of burdens, and were overseers of all that wrought the work in any manner of service: and of the Levites there were scribes, and officers, and porters.
וַיַּעַל הַמֶּלֶךְ בֵּית-יְהוָה וְכָל-אִישׁ יְהוּדָה וְיֹֽשְׁבֵי יְרֽוּשָׁלִַם וְהַכֹּֽהֲנִים וְהַלְוִיִּם וְכָל-הָעָם מִגָּדוֹל וְעַד-קָטָן וַיִּקְרָא בְאָזְנֵיהֶם אֶת-כָּל-דִּבְרֵי סֵפֶר הַבְּרִית הַנִּמְצָא בֵּית יְהוָֽה׃
And the king went up into the house of the LORD, and all the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and the priests, and the Levites, and all the people, great and small: and he read in their ears all the words of the book of the covenant that was found in the house of the LORD.
וַיֹּאמֶר לַלְוִיִּם (המבונים) הַמְּבִינִים לְכָל-יִשְׂרָאֵל הַקְּדוֹשִׁים לַֽיהוָה תְּנוּ אֶת-אֲרוֹן-הַקֹּדֶשׁ בַּבַּיִת אֲשֶׁר בָּנָה שְׁלֹמֹה בֶן-דָּוִיד מֶלֶךְ יִשְׂרָאֵל אֵין-לָכֶם מַשָּׂא בַּכָּתֵף עַתָּה עִבְדוּ אֶת-יְהוָה אֱלֹֽהֵיכֶם וְאֵת עַמּוֹ יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃
And said unto the Levites that taught all Israel, which were holy unto the LORD, Put the holy ark in the house which Solomon the son of David king of Israel did build; it shall not be a burden upon your shoulders: serve now the LORD your God, and his people Israel,
וְעִמְדוּ בַקֹּדֶשׁ לִפְלוּגֹּת בֵּית הָֽאָבוֹת לַֽאֲחֵיכֶם בְּנֵי הָעָם וַֽחֲלֻקַּת בֵּֽית-אָב לַלְוִיִּֽם׃
And stand in the holy place according to the divisions of the families of the fathers of your brethren the people, and after the division of the families of the Levites.
וְשָׂרָיו לִנְדָבָה לָעָם לַכֹּֽהֲנִים וְלַלְוִיִּם הֵרִימוּ חִלְקִיָּה וּזְכַרְיָהוּ וִֽיחִיאֵל נְגִידֵי בֵּית הָֽאֱלֹהִים לַכֹּֽהֲנִים נָֽתְנוּ לַפְּסָחִים אַלְפַּיִם וְשֵׁשׁ מֵאוֹת וּבָקָר שְׁלֹשׁ מֵאֽוֹת׃
And his princes gave willingly unto the people, to the priests, and to the Levites: Hilkiah and Zechariah and Jehiel, rulers of the house of God, gave unto the priests for the passover offerings two thousand and six hundred small cattle, and three hundred oxen.
(וכונניהו) וְכָֽנַנְיָהוּ וּשְׁמַֽעְיָהוּ וּנְתַנְאֵל אֶחָיו וַֽחֲשַׁבְיָהוּ וִֽיעִיאֵל וְיֽוֹזָבָד שָׂרֵי הַלְוִיִּם הֵרִימוּ לַלְוִיִּם לַפְּסָחִים חֲמֵשֶׁת אֲלָפִים וּבָקָר חֲמֵשׁ מֵאֽוֹת׃
Conaniah also, and Shemaiah and Nethaneel, his brethren, and Hashabiah and Jeiel and Jozabad, chief of the Levites, gave unto the Levites for passover offerings five thousand small cattle, and five hundred oxen.
וַתִּכּוֹן הָֽעֲבוֹדָה וַיַּֽעַמְדוּ הַכֹּֽהֲנִים עַל-עָמְדָם וְהַלְוִיִּם עַל-מַחְלְקוֹתָם כְּמִצְוַת הַמֶּֽלֶךְ׃
So the service was prepared, and the priests stood in their place, and the Levites in their courses, according to the king's commandment.
וַֽיִּשְׁחֲטוּ הַפָּסַח וַיִּזְרְקוּ הַכֹּֽהֲנִים מִיָּדָם וְהַלְוִיִּם מַפְשִׁיטִֽים׃
And they killed the passover, and the priests sprinkled the blood from their hands, and the Levites flayed them.
וְאַחַר הֵכִינוּ לָהֶם וְלַכֹּהֲנִים כִּי הַכֹּֽהֲנִים בְּנֵי אַֽהֲרֹן בְּהַֽעֲלוֹת הָֽעוֹלָה וְהַֽחֲלָבִים עַד-לָיְלָה וְהַלְוִיִּם הֵכִינוּ לָהֶם וְלַכֹּֽהֲנִים בְּנֵי אַֽהֲרֹֽן׃
And afterward they made ready for themselves, and for the priests: because the priests the sons of Aaron were busied in offering of burnt offerings and the fat until night; therefore the Levites prepared for themselves, and for the priests the sons of Aaron.
וְהַמְשֹֽׁרֲרִים בְּנֵֽי-אָסָף עַל-מַֽעֲמָדָם כְּמִצְוַת דָּוִיד וְאָסָף וְהֵימָן וִֽידֻתוּן חוֹזֵה הַמֶּלֶךְ וְהַשֹּֽׁעֲרִים לְשַׁעַר וָשָׁעַר אֵין לָהֶם לָסוּר מֵעַל עֲבֹֽדָתָם כִּֽי-אֲחֵיהֶם הַלְוִיִּם הֵכִינוּ לָהֶֽם׃
And the singers the sons of Asaph were in their place, according to the commandment of David, and Asaph, and Heman, and Jeduthun the king's seer; and the porters waited at every gate; they might not depart from their service; for their brethren the Levites prepared for them.
וְלֹֽא-נַעֲשָׂה פֶסַח כָּמֹהוּ בְּיִשְׂרָאֵל מִימֵי שְׁמוּאֵל הַנָּבִיא וְכָל-מַלְכֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל׀ לֹֽא-עָשׂוּ כַּפֶּסַח אֲשֶׁר-עָשָׂה יֹֽאשִׁיָּהוּ וְהַכֹּֽהֲנִים וְהַלְוִיִּם וְכָל-יְהוּדָה וְיִשְׂרָאֵל הַנִּמְצָא וְיֽוֹשְׁבֵי יְרֽוּשָׁלִָֽם׃
And there was no passover like to that kept in Israel from the days of Samuel the prophet; neither did all the kings of Israel keep such a passover as Josiah kept, and the priests, and the Levites, and all Judah and Israel that were present, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
וַיָּקוּמוּ רָאשֵׁי הָֽאָבוֹת לִֽיהוּדָה וּבִנְיָמִן וְהַכֹּֽהֲנִים וְהַלְוִיִּם לְכֹל הֵעִיר הָֽאֱלֹהִים אֶת-רוּחוֹ לַֽעֲלוֹת לִבְנוֹת אֶת-בֵּית יְהוָה אֲשֶׁר בִּירֽוּשָׁלִָֽם׃
Then rose up the chief of the fathers of Judah and Benjamin, and the priests, and the Levites, with all them whose spirit God had raised, to go up to build the house of the LORD which is in Jerusalem.
הַלְוִיִּם בְּנֵֽי-יֵשׁוּעַ וְקַדְמִיאֵל לִבְנֵי הֽוֹדַוְיָה שִׁבְעִים וְאַרְבָּעָֽה׃
The Levites: the children of Jeshua and Kadmiel, of the children of Hodaviah, seventy and four.
וַיֵּֽשְׁבוּ הַכֹּֽהֲנִים וְהַלְוִיִּם וּֽמִן-הָעָם וְהַמְשֹֽׁרְרִים וְהַשּֽׁוֹעֲרִים וְהַנְּתִינִים בְּעָֽרֵיהֶם וְכָל-יִשְׂרָאֵל בְּעָֽרֵיהֶֽם׃
So the priests, and the Levites, and some of the people, and the singers, and the porters, and the Nethinims, dwelt in their cities, and all Israel in their cities.
וּבַשָּׁנָה הַשֵּׁנִית לְבוֹאָם אֶל-בֵּית הָֽאֱלֹהִים לִירוּשָׁלִַם בַּחֹדֶשׁ הַשֵּׁנִי הֵחֵלּוּ זְרֻבָּבֶל בֶּן-שְׁאַלְתִּיאֵל וְיֵשׁוּעַ בֶּן-יֽוֹצָדָק וּשְׁאָר אֲחֵיהֶם׀ הַכֹּֽהֲנִים וְהַלְוִיִּם וְכָל-הַבָּאִים מֵֽהַשְּׁבִי יְרֽוּשָׁלִַם וַיַּֽעֲמִידוּ אֶת-הַלְוִיִּם מִבֶּן עֶשְׂרִים שָׁנָה וָמַעְלָה לְנַצֵּחַ עַל-מְלֶאכֶת בֵּית-יְהוָֽה׃
Now in the second year of their coming unto the house of God at Jerusalem, in the second month, began Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and the remnant of their brethren the priests and the Levites, and all they that were come out of the captivity unto Jerusalem; and appointed the Levites, from twenty years old and upward, to set forward the work of the house of the LORD.
וַיַּֽעֲמֹד יֵשׁוּעַ בָּנָיו וְאֶחָיו קַדְמִיאֵל וּבָנָיו בְּנֵֽי-יְהוּדָה כְּאֶחָד לְנַצֵּחַ עַל-עֹשֵׂה הַמְּלָאכָה בְּבֵית הָֽאֱלֹהִים בְּנֵי חֵֽנָדָד בְּנֵיהֶם וַֽאֲחֵיהֶם הַלְוִיִּֽם׃
Then stood Jeshua with his sons and his brethren, Kadmiel and his sons, the sons of Judah, together, to set forward the workmen in the house of God: the sons of Henadad, with their sons and their brethren the Levites.
וְיִסְּדוּ הַבֹּנִים אֶת-הֵיכַל יְהוָה וַיַּֽעֲמִידוּ הַכֹּֽהֲנִים מְלֻבָּשִׁים בַּחֲצֹֽצְרוֹת וְהַלְוִיִּם בְּנֵֽי-אָסָף בַּֽמְצִלְתַּיִם לְהַלֵּל אֶת-יְהוָה עַל-יְדֵי דָּוִיד מֶֽלֶךְ-יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃
And when the builders laid the foundation of the temple of the LORD, they set the priests in their apparel with trumpets, and the Levites the sons of Asaph with cymbals, to praise the LORD, after the ordinance of David king of Israel.
וְרַבִּים מֵהַכֹּֽהֲנִים וְהַלְוִיִּם וְרָאשֵׁי הָֽאָבוֹת הַזְּקֵנִים אֲשֶׁר רָאוּ אֶת-הַבַּיִת הָֽרִאשׁוֹן בְּיָסְדוֹ זֶה הַבַּיִת בְּעֵינֵיהֶם בֹּכִים בְּקוֹל גָּדוֹל וְרַבִּים בִּתְרוּעָה בְשִׂמְחָה לְהָרִים קֽוֹל׃
But many of the priests and Levites and chief of the fathers, who were ancient men, that had seen the first house, when the foundation laid of this house was before their eyes, wept with a loud voice; and many shouted aloud for joy:
כִּי הִֽטַּהֲרוּ הַכֹּֽהֲנִים וְהַלְוִיִּם כְּאֶחָד כֻּלָּם טְהוֹרִים וַיִּשְׁחֲטוּ הַפֶּסַח לְכָל-בְּנֵי הַגּוֹלָה וְלַֽאֲחֵיהֶם הַכֹּֽהֲנִים וְלָהֶֽם׃
For the priests and the Levites were purified together, all of them were pure, and killed the passover for all the children of the captivity, and for their brethren the priests, and for themselves.
וַיַּֽעֲלוּ מִבְּנֵֽי-יִשְׂרָאֵל וּמִן-הַכֹּֽהֲנִים וְהַלְוִיִּם וְהַמְשֹֽׁרְרִים וְהַשֹּֽׁעֲרִים וְהַנְּתִינִים אֶל-יְרֽוּשָׁלִָם בִּשְׁנַת-שֶׁבַע לְאַרְתַּחְשַׁסְתְּא הַמֶּֽלֶךְ׃
And there went up some of the children of Israel, and of the priests, and the Levites, and the singers, and the porters, and the Nethinims, unto Jerusalem, in the seventh year of Artaxerxes the king.
וָֽאֶקְבְּצֵם אֶל-הַנָּהָר הַבָּא אֶֽל-אַהֲוָא וַנַּֽחֲנֶה שָׁם יָמִים שְׁלֹשָׁה וָֽאָבִינָה בָעָם וּבַכֹּהֲנִים וּמִבְּנֵי לֵוִי לֹֽא-מָצָאתִי שָֽׁם׃
And I gathered them together to the river that runneth to Ahava; and there abode we in tents three days: and I viewed the people, and the priests, and found there none of the sons of Levi.
וַיָּבִיאּוּ לָנוּ כְּיַד-אֱלֹהֵינוּ הַטּוֹבָה עָלֵינוּ אִישׁ שֶׂכֶל מִבְּנֵי מַחְלִי בֶּן-לֵוִי בֶּן-יִשְׂרָאֵל וְשֵׁרֵבְיָה וּבָנָיו וְאֶחָיו שְׁמֹנָה עָשָֽׂר׃
And by the good hand of our God upon us they brought us a man of understanding, of the sons of Mahli, the son of Levi, the son of Israel; and Sherebiah, with his sons and his brethren, eighteen;
וּמִן-הַנְּתִינִים שֶׁנָּתַן דָּוִיד וְהַשָּׂרִים לַֽעֲבֹדַת הַלְוִיִּם נְתִינִים מָאתַיִם וְעֶשְׂרִים כֻּלָּם נִקְּבוּ בְשֵׁמֽוֹת׃
Also of the Nethinims, whom David and the princes had appointed for the service of the Levites, two hundred and twenty Nethinims: all of them were expressed by name.
שִׁקְדוּ וְשִׁמְרוּ עַֽד-תִּשְׁקְלוּ לִפְנֵי שָׂרֵי הַכֹּֽהֲנִים וְהַלְוִיִּם וְשָׂרֵֽי-הָאָבוֹת לְיִשְׂרָאֵל בִּירֽוּשָׁלִָם הַלִּשְׁכוֹת בֵּית יְהוָֽה׃
Watch ye, and keep them, until ye weigh them before the chief of the priests and the Levites, and chief of the fathers of Israel, at Jerusalem, in the chambers of the house of the LORD.
וְקִבְּלוּ הַכֹּֽהֲנִים וְהַלְוִיִּם מִשְׁקַל הַכֶּסֶף וְהַזָּהָב וְהַכֵּלִים לְהָבִיא לִירֽוּשָׁלִַם לְבֵית אֱלֹהֵֽינוּ׃
So took the priests and the Levites the weight of the silver, and the gold, and the vessels, to bring them to Jerusalem unto the house of our God.
וּבַיּוֹם הָֽרְבִיעִי נִשְׁקַל הַכֶּסֶף וְהַזָּהָב וְהַכֵּלִים בְּבֵית אֱלֹהֵינוּ עַל יַד-מְרֵמוֹת בֶּן-אֽוּרִיָּה הַכֹּהֵן וְעִמּוֹ אֶלְעָזָר בֶּן-פִּֽינְחָס וְעִמָּהֶם יֽוֹזָבָד בֶּן-יֵשׁוּעַ וְנֽוֹעַדְיָה בֶן-בִּנּוּי הַלְוִיִּֽם׃
Now on the fourth day was the silver and the gold and the vessels weighed in the house of our God by the hand of Meremoth the son of Uriah the priest; and with him was Eleazar the son of Phinehas; and with them was Jozabad the son of Jeshua, and Noadiah the son of Binnui, Levites;
וּכְכַלּוֹת אֵלֶּה נִגְּשׁוּ אֵלַי הַשָּׂרִים לֵאמֹר לֹֽא-נִבְדְּלוּ הָעָם יִשְׂרָאֵל וְהַכֹּֽהֲנִים וְהַלְוִיִּם מֵֽעַמֵּי הָֽאֲרָצוֹת כְּתוֹעֲבֹֽתֵיהֶם לַכְּנַֽעֲנִי הַֽחִתִּי הַפְּרִזִּי הַיְבוּסִי הָֽעַמֹּנִי הַמֹּאָבִי הַמִּצְרִי וְהָֽאֱמֹרִֽי׃
Now when these things were done, the princes came to me, saying, The people of Israel, and the priests, and the Levites, have not separated themselves from the people of the lands, doing according to their abominations, even of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Jebusites, the Ammonites, the Moabites, the Egyptians, and the Amorites.
וַיָּקָם עֶזְרָא וַיַּשְׁבַּע אֶת-שָׂרֵי הַכֹּֽהֲנִים הַלְוִיִּם וְכָל-יִשְׂרָאֵל לַֽעֲשׂוֹת כַּדָּבָר הַזֶּה וַיִּשָּׁבֵֽעוּ׃
Then arose Ezra, and made the chief priests, the Levites, and all Israel, to swear that they should do according to this word. And they sware.
אַךְ יֽוֹנָתָן בֶּן-עֲשָׂהאֵל וְיַחְזְיָה בֶן-תִּקְוָה עָֽמְדוּ עַל-זֹאת וּמְשֻׁלָּם וְשַׁבְּתַי הַלֵּוִי עֲזָרֻֽם׃
Only Jonathan the son of Asahel and Jahaziah the son of Tikvah were employed about this matter: and Meshullam and Shabbethai the Levite helped them.
וּמִֽן-הַלְוִיִּם יֽוֹזָבָד וְשִׁמְעִי וְקֵֽלָיָה הוּא קְלִיטָא פְּתַֽחְיָה יְהוּדָה וֶֽאֱלִיעֶֽזֶר׃
Also of the Levites; Jozabad, and Shimei, and Kelaiah, (the same is Kelita,) Pethahiah, Judah, and Eliezer.
אַֽחֲרָיו הֶֽחֱזִיקוּ הַלְוִיִּם רְחוּם בֶּן-בָּנִי עַל-יָדוֹ הֶֽחֱזִיק חֲשַׁבְיָה שַׂר-חֲצִי-פֶלֶךְ קְעִילָה לְפִלְכּֽוֹ׃
After him repaired the Levites, Rehum the son of Bani. Next unto him repaired Hashabiah, the ruler of the half part of Keilah, in his part.
וַיְהִי כַּֽאֲשֶׁר נִבְנְתָה הַֽחוֹמָה וָאַֽעֲמִיד הַדְּלָתוֹת וַיִּפָּקְדוּ הַשּֽׁוֹעֲרִים וְהַמְשֹֽׁרְרִים וְהַלְוִיִּֽם׃
Now it came to pass, when the wall was built, and I had set up the doors, and the porters and the singers and the Levites were appointed,
הַלְוִיִּם בְּנֵֽי-יֵשׁוּעַ לְקַדְמִיאֵל לִבְנֵי לְהֽוֹדְוָה שִׁבְעִים וְאַרְבָּעָֽה׃
The Levites: the children of Jeshua, of Kadmiel, and of the children of Hodevah, seventy and four.
וַיֵּֽשְׁבוּ הַכֹּֽהֲנִים וְהַלְוִיִּם וְהַשּֽׁוֹעֲרִים וְהַמְשֹֽׁרְרִים וּמִן-הָעָם וְהַנְּתִינִים וְכָל-יִשְׂרָאֵל בְּעָֽרֵיהֶם וַיִּגַּע הַחֹדֶשׁ הַשְּׁבִיעִי וּבְנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל בְּעָֽרֵיהֶֽם׃
So the priests, and the Levites, and the porters, and the singers, and some of the people, and the Nethinims, and all Israel, dwelt in their cities; and when the seventh month came, the children of Israel were in their cities.
וְיֵשׁוּעַ וּבָנִי וְשֵׁרֵבְיָה׀ יָמִין עַקּוּב שַׁבְּתַי׀ הֽוֹדִיָּה מַֽעֲשֵׂיָה קְלִיטָא עֲזַרְיָה יֽוֹזָבָד חָנָן פְּלָאיָה וְהַלְוִיִּם מְבִינִים אֶת-הָעָם לַתּוֹרָה וְהָעָם עַל-עָמְדָֽם׃
Also Jeshua, and Bani, and Sherebiah, Jamin, Akkub, Shabbethai, Hodijah, Maaseiah, Kelita, Azariah, Jozabad, Hanan, Pelaiah, and the Levites, caused the people to understand the law: and the people stood in their place.
וַיֹּאמֶר נְחֶמְיָה הוּא הַתִּרְשָׁתָא וְעֶזְרָא הַכֹּהֵן׀ הַסֹּפֵר וְהַלְוִיִּם הַמְּבִינִים אֶת-הָעָם לְכָל-הָעָם הַיּוֹם קָדֹֽשׁ-הוּא לַֽיהוָה אֱלֹֽהֵיכֶם אַל-תִּֽתְאַבְּלוּ וְאַל-תִּבְכּוּ כִּי בוֹכִים כָּל-הָעָם כְּשָׁמְעָם אֶת-דִּבְרֵי הַתּוֹרָֽה׃
And Nehemiah, which is the Tirshatha, and Ezra the priest the scribe, and the Levites that taught the people, said unto all the people, This day is holy unto the LORD your God; mourn not, nor weep. For all the people wept, when they heard the words of the law.
וְהַלְוִיִּם מַחְשִׁים לְכָל-הָעָם לֵאמֹר הַסּוּ כִּי הַיּוֹם קָדֹשׁ וְאַל-תֵּֽעָצֵֽבוּ׃
So the Levites stilled all the people, saying, Hold your peace, for the day is holy; neither be ye grieved.
וּבַיּוֹם הַשֵּׁנִי נֶֽאֶסְפוּ רָאשֵׁי הָֽאָבוֹת לְכָל-הָעָם הַכֹּֽהֲנִים וְהַלְוִיִּם אֶל-עֶזְרָא הַסֹּפֵר וּלְהַשְׂכִּיל אֶל-דִּבְרֵי הַתּוֹרָֽה׃
And on the second day were gathered together the chief of the fathers of all the people, the priests, and the Levites, unto Ezra the scribe, even to understand the words of the law.
וַיָּקָם עַֽל-מַֽעֲלֵה הַלְוִיִּם יֵשׁוּעַ וּבָנִי קַדְמִיאֵל שְׁבַנְיָה בֻּנִּי שֵׁרֵֽבְיָה בָּנִי כְנָנִי וַֽיִּזְעֲקוּ בְּקוֹל גָּדוֹל אֶל-יְהוָה אֱלֹֽהֵיהֶֽם׃
Then stood up upon the stairs, of the Levites, Jeshua, and Bani, Kadmiel, Shebaniah, Bunni, Sherebiah, Bani, and Chenani, and cried with a loud voice unto the LORD their God.
וַיֹּֽאמְרוּ הַלְוִיִּם יֵשׁוּעַ וְקַדְמִיאֵל בָּנִי חֲשַׁבְנְיָה שֵׁרֵֽבְיָה הֽוֹדִיָּה שְׁבַנְיָה פְתַֽחְיָה קוּמוּ בָּרֲכוּ אֶת-יְהוָה אֱלֹֽהֵיכֶם מִן-הָֽעוֹלָם עַד-הָֽעוֹלָם וִיבָֽרְכוּ שֵׁם כְּבוֹדֶךָ וּמְרוֹמַם עַל-כָּל-בְּרָכָה וּתְהִלָּֽה׃
Then the Levites, Jeshua, and Kadmiel, Bani, Hashabniah, Sherebiah, Hodijah, Shebaniah, and Pethahiah, said, Stand up and bless the LORD your God for ever and ever: and blessed be thy glorious name, which is exalted above all blessing and praise.
וּבְכָל-זֹאת אֲנַחְנוּ כֹּֽרְתִים אֲמָנָה וְכֹֽתְבִים וְעַל הֶֽחָתוּם שָׂרֵינוּ לְוִיֵּנוּ כֹּֽהֲנֵֽינוּ׃
And because of all this we make a sure covenant, and write it; and our princes, Levites, and priests, seal unto it.
וְֽהַלְוִיִּם וְיֵשׁוּעַ בֶּן-אֲזַנְיָה בִּנּוּי מִבְּנֵי חֵֽנָדָד קַדְמִיאֵֽל׃
And the Levites: both Jeshua the son of Azaniah, Binnui of the sons of Henadad, Kadmiel;
וּשְׁאָר הָעָם הַכֹּֽהֲנִים הַלְוִיִּם הַשּֽׁוֹעֲרִים הַמְשֹֽׁרְרִים הַנְּתִינִים וְֽכָל-הַנִּבְדָּל מֵֽעַמֵּי הָֽאֲרָצוֹת אֶל-תּוֹרַת הָֽאֱלֹהִים נְשֵׁיהֶם בְּנֵיהֶם וּבְנֹֽתֵיהֶם כֹּל יוֹדֵעַ מֵבִֽין׃
And the rest of the people, the priests, the Levites, the porters, the singers, the Nethinims, and all they that had separated themselves from the people of the lands unto the law of God, their wives, their sons, and their daughters, every one having knowledge, and having understanding;
וְהַגּֽוֹרָלוֹת הִפַּלְנוּ עַל-קֻרְבַּן הָֽעֵצִים הַכֹּֽהֲנִים הַלְוִיִּם וְהָעָם לְהָבִיא לְבֵית אֱלֹהֵינוּ לְבֵית-אֲבֹתֵינוּ לְעִתִּים מְזֻמָּנִים שָׁנָה בְשָׁנָה לְבַעֵר עַל-מִזְבַּח יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵינוּ כַּכָּתוּב בַּתּוֹרָֽה׃
And we cast the lots among the priests, the Levites, and the people, for the wood offering, to bring it into the house of our God, after the houses of our fathers, at times appointed year by year, to burn upon the altar of the LORD our God, as it is written in the law:
וְאֶת-רֵאשִׁית עֲרִֽיסֹתֵינוּ וּתְרֽוּמֹתֵינוּ וּפְרִי כָל-עֵץ תִּירוֹשׁ וְיִצְהָר נָבִיא לַכֹּֽהֲנִים אֶל-לִשְׁכוֹת בֵּית-אֱלֹהֵינוּ וּמַעְשַׂר אַדְמָתֵנוּ לַלְוִיִּם וְהֵם הַלְוִיִּם הַֽמְעַשְּׂרִים בְּכֹל עָרֵי עֲבֹֽדָתֵֽנוּ׃
And that we should bring the firstfruits of our dough, and our offerings, and the fruit of all manner of trees, of wine and of oil, unto the priests, to the chambers of the house of our God; and the tithes of our ground unto the Levites, that the same Levites might have the tithes in all the cities of our tillage.
וְהָיָה הַכֹּהֵן בֶּֽן-אַהֲרֹן עִם-הַלְוִיִּם בַּעְשֵׂר הַלְוִיִּם וְהַלְוִיִּם יַֽעֲלוּ אֶת-מַֽעֲשַׂר הַֽמַּעֲשֵׂר לְבֵית אֱלֹהֵינוּ אֶל-הַלְּשָׁכוֹת לְבֵית הָֽאוֹצָֽר׃
And the priest the son of Aaron shall be with the Levites, when the Levites take tithes: and the Levites shall bring up the tithe of the tithes unto the house of our God, to the chambers, into the treasure house.
כִּי אֶל-הַלְּשָׁכוֹת יָבִיאוּ בְנֵֽי-יִשְׂרָאֵל וּבְנֵי הַלֵּוִי אֶת-תְּרוּמַת הַדָּגָן הַתִּירוֹשׁ וְהַיִּצְהָר וְשָׁם כְּלֵי הַמִּקְדָּשׁ וְהַכֹּֽהֲנִים הַמְשָׁרְתִים וְהַשּֽׁוֹעֲרִים וְהַמְשֹֽׁרְרִים וְלֹא נַֽעֲזֹב אֶת-בֵּית אֱלֹהֵֽינוּ׃
For the children of Israel and the children of Levi shall bring the offering of the corn, of the new wine, and the oil, unto the chambers, where are the vessels of the sanctuary, and the priests that minister, and the porters, and the singers: and we will not forsake the house of our God.
וְאֵלֶּה רָאשֵׁי הַמְּדִינָה אֲשֶׁר יָֽשְׁבוּ בִּירֽוּשָׁלִָם וּבְעָרֵי יְהוּדָה יָֽשְׁבוּ אִישׁ בַּֽאֲחֻזָּתוֹ בְּעָרֵיהֶם יִשְׂרָאֵל הַכֹּֽהֲנִים וְהַלְוִיִּם וְהַנְּתִינִים וּבְנֵי עַבְדֵי שְׁלֹמֹֽה׃
Now these are the chief of the province that dwelt in Jerusalem: but in the cities of Judah dwelt every one in his possession in their cities, to wit, Israel, the priests, and the Levites, and the Nethinims, and the children of Solomon's servants.
וּמִֽן-הַלְוִיִּם שְׁמַעְיָה בֶן-חַשּׁוּב בֶּן-עַזְרִיקָם בֶּן-חֲשַׁבְיָה בֶּן-בּוּנִּֽי׃
Also of the Levites: Shemaiah the son of Hashub, the son of Azrikam, the son of Hashabiah, the son of Bunni;
וְשַׁבְּתַי וְיֽוֹזָבָד עַל-הַמְּלָאכָה הַחִֽיצֹנָה לְבֵית הָֽאֱלֹהִים מֵֽרָאשֵׁי הַלְוִיִּֽם׃
And Shabbethai and Jozabad, of the chief of the Levites, had the oversight of the outward business of the house of God.
כָּל-הַלְוִיִּם בְּעִיר הַקֹּדֶשׁ מָאתַיִם שְׁמֹנִים וְאַרְבָּעָֽה׃
All the Levites in the holy city were two hundred fourscore and four.
וּשְׁאָר יִשְׂרָאֵל הַכֹּֽהֲנִים הַלְוִיִּם בְּכָל-עָרֵי יְהוּדָה אִישׁ בְּנַֽחֲלָתֽוֹ׃
And the residue of Israel, of the priests, and the Levites, were in all the cities of Judah, every one in his inheritance.
וּפְקִיד הַלְוִיִּם בִּירוּשָׁלִַם עֻזִּי בֶן-בָּנִי בֶּן-חֲשַׁבְיָה בֶּן-מַתַּנְיָה בֶּן-מִיכָא מִבְּנֵי אָסָף הַמְשֹׁרְרִים לְנֶגֶד מְלֶאכֶת בֵּית-הָֽאֱלֹהִֽים׃
The overseer also of the Levites at Jerusalem was Uzzi the son of Bani, the son of Hashabiah, the son of Mattaniah, the son of Micha. Of the sons of Asaph, the singers were over the business of the house of God.
וּמִן-הַלְוִיִּם מַחְלְקוֹת יְהוּדָה לְבִנְיָמִֽין׃
And of the Levites were divisions in Judah, and in Benjamin.
וְאֵלֶּה הַכֹּֽהֲנִים וְהַלְוִיִּם אֲשֶׁר עָלוּ עִם-זְרֻבָּבֶל בֶּן-שְׁאַלְתִּיאֵל וְיֵשׁוּעַ שְׂרָיָה יִרְמְיָה עֶזְרָֽא׃
Now these are the priests and the Levites that went up with Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua: Seraiah, Jeremiah, Ezra,
וְהַלְוִיִּם יֵשׁוּעַ בִּנּוּי קַדְמִיאֵל שֵׁרֵֽבְיָה יְהוּדָה מַתַּנְיָה עַֽל-הֻיְּדוֹת הוּא וְאֶחָֽיו׃
Moreover the Levites: Jeshua, Binnui, Kadmiel, Sherebiah, Judah, and Mattaniah, which was over the thanksgiving, he and his brethren.
הַלְוִיִּם בִּימֵי אֶלְיָשִׁיב יֽוֹיָדָע וְיֽוֹחָנָן וְיַדּוּעַ כְּתוּבִים רָאשֵׁי אָבוֹת וְהַכֹּהֲנִים עַל-מַלְכוּת דָּֽרְיָוֶשׁ הַפָּֽרְסִֽי׃
The Levites in the days of Eliashib, Joiada, and Johanan, and Jaddua, were recorded chief of the fathers: also the priests, to the reign of Darius the Persian.
בְּנֵי לֵוִי רָאשֵׁי הָֽאָבוֹת כְּתוּבִים עַל-סֵפֶר דִּבְרֵי הַיָּמִים וְעַד-יְמֵי יֽוֹחָנָן בֶּן-אֶלְיָשִֽׁיב׃
The sons of Levi, the chief of the fathers, were written in the book of the chronicles, even until the days of Johanan the son of Eliashib.
וְרָאשֵׁי הַלְוִיִּם חֲשַׁבְיָה שֵֽׁרֵבְיָה וְיֵשׁוּעַ בֶּן-קַדְמִיאֵל וַֽאֲחֵיהֶם לְנֶגְדָּם לְהַלֵּל לְהוֹדוֹת בְּמִצְוַת דָּוִיד אִישׁ-הָֽאֱלֹהִים מִשְׁמָר לְעֻמַּת מִשְׁמָֽר׃
And the chief of the Levites: Hashabiah, Sherebiah, and Jeshua the son of Kadmiel, with their brethren over against them, to praise and to give thanks, according to the commandment of David the man of God, ward over against ward.
וּבַֽחֲנֻכַּת חוֹמַת יְרֽוּשָׁלִַם בִּקְשׁוּ אֶת-הַלְוִיִּם מִכָּל-מְקוֹמֹתָם לַֽהֲבִיאָם לִֽירוּשָׁלִָם לַֽעֲשֹׂת חֲנֻכָּה וְשִׂמְחָה וּבְתוֹדוֹת וּבְשִׁיר מְצִלְתַּיִם נְבָלִים וּבְכִנֹּרֽוֹת׃
And at the dedication of the wall of Jerusalem they sought the Levites out of all their places, to bring them to Jerusalem, to keep the dedication with gladness, both with thanksgivings, and with singing, with cymbals, psalteries, and with harps.
וַיִּֽטַּהֲרוּ הַכֹּֽהֲנִים וְהַלְוִיִּם וַֽיְטַהֲרוּ אֶת-הָעָם וְאֶת-הַשְּׁעָרִים וְאֶֽת-הַחוֹמָֽה׃
And the priests and the Levites purified themselves, and purified the people, and the gates, and the wall.
וַיִּפָּֽקְדוּ בַיּוֹם הַהוּא אֲנָשִׁים עַל-הַנְּשָׁכוֹת לָאוֹצָרוֹת לַתְּרוּמוֹת לָֽרֵאשִׁית וְלַמַּֽעַשְׂרוֹת לִכְנוֹס בָּהֶם לִשְׂדֵי הֶֽעָרִים מְנָאוֹת הַתּוֹרָה לַכֹּֽהֲנִים וְלַלְוִיִּם כִּי שִׂמְחַת יְהוּדָה עַל-הַכֹּֽהֲנִים וְעַל-הַלְוִיִּם הָעֹֽמְדִֽים׃
And at that time were some appointed over the chambers for the treasures, for the offerings, for the firstfruits, and for the tithes, to gather into them out of the fields of the cities the portions of the law for the priests and Levites: for Judah rejoiced for the priests and for the Levites that waited.
וְכָל-יִשְׂרָאֵל בִּימֵי זְרֻבָּבֶל וּבִימֵי נְחֶמְיָה נֹֽתְנִים מְנָיוֹת הַמְשֹֽׁרְרִים וְהַשֹּֽׁעֲרִים דְּבַר-יוֹם בְּיוֹמוֹ וּמַקְדִּשִׁים לַלְוִיִּם וְהַלְוִיִּם מַקְדִּשִׁים לִבְנֵי אַֽהֲרֹֽן׃
And all Israel in the days of Zerubbabel, and in the days of Nehemiah, gave the portions of the singers and the porters, every day his portion: and they sanctified holy things unto the Levites; and the Levites sanctified them unto the children of Aaron.
וַיַּעַשׂ לוֹ לִשְׁכָּה גְדוֹלָה וְשָׁם הָיוּ לְפָנִים נֹֽתְנִים אֶת-הַמִּנְחָה הַלְּבוֹנָה וְהַכֵּלִים וּמַעְשַׂר הַדָּגָן הַתִּירוֹשׁ וְהַיִּצְהָר מִצְוַת הַלְוִיִּם וְהַמְשֹֽׁרְרִים וְהַשֹּׁעֲרִים וּתְרוּמַת הַכֹּֽהֲנִֽים׃
And he had prepared for him a great chamber, where aforetime they laid the meat offerings, the frankincense, and the vessels, and the tithes of the corn, the new wine, and the oil, which was commanded to be given to the Levites, and the singers, and the porters; and the offerings of the priests.
וָאֵדְעָה כִּֽי-מְנָיוֹת הַלְוִיִּם לֹא נִתָּנָה וַיִּבְרְחוּ אִישׁ-לְשָׂדֵהוּ הַלְוִיִּם וְהַמְשֹֽׁרְרִים עֹשֵׂי הַמְּלָאכָֽה׃
And I perceived that the portions of the Levites had not been given them: for the Levites and the singers, that did the work, were fled every one to his field.
וָאֽוֹצְרָה עַל-אֽוֹצָרוֹת שֶֽׁלֶמְיָה הַכֹּהֵן וְצָדוֹק הַסּוֹפֵר וּפְדָיָה מִן-הַלְוִיִּם וְעַל-יָדָם חָנָן בֶּן-זַכּוּר בֶּן-מַתַּנְיָה כִּי נֶֽאֱמָנִים נֶחְשָׁבוּ וַֽעֲלֵיהֶם לַֽחֲלֹק לַֽאֲחֵיהֶֽם׃
And I made treasurers over the treasuries, Shelemiah the priest, and Zadok the scribe, and of the Levites, Pedaiah: and next to them was Hanan the son of Zaccur, the son of Mattaniah: for they were counted faithful, and their office was to distribute unto their brethren.
וָאֹֽמְרָה לַלְוִיִּם אֲשֶׁר יִֽהְיוּ מִֽטַּהֲרִים וּבָאִים שֹֽׁמְרִים הַשְּׁעָרִים לְקַדֵּשׁ אֶת-יוֹם הַשַּׁבָּת גַּם-זֹאת זָכְרָה-לִּי אֱלֹהַי וְחוּסָה עָלַי כְּרֹב חַסְדֶּֽךָ׃
And I commanded the Levites that they should cleanse themselves, and that they should come and keep the gates, to sanctify the sabbath day. Remember me, O my God, concerning this also, and spare me according to the greatness of thy mercy.
זָכְרָה לָהֶם אֱלֹהָי עַל גָּֽאֳלֵי הַכְּהֻנָּה וּבְרִית הַכְּהֻנָּה וְהַלְוִיִּֽם׃
Remember them, O my God, because they have defiled the priesthood, and the covenant of the priesthood, and of the Levites.
וְטִֽהַרְתִּים מִכָּל-נֵכָר וָאַֽעֲמִידָה מִשְׁמָרוֹת לַכֹּֽהֲנִים וְלַלְוִיִּם אִישׁ בִּמְלַאכְתּֽוֹ׃
Thus cleansed I them from all strangers, and appointed the wards of the priests and the Levites, every one in his business;
בֵּית הַלֵּוִי בָּרֲכוּ אֶת-יְהוָה יִֽרְאֵי יְהוָה בָּרֲכוּ אֶת-יְהוָֽה׃
Bless the LORD, O house of Levi: ye that fear the LORD, bless the LORD.
