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;

וָֽאַבְדִּילָה מִשָּׂרֵי הַכֹּֽהֲנִים שְׁנֵים עָשָׂר לְשֵׁרֵֽבְיָה חֲשַׁבְיָה וְעִמָּהֶם מֵֽאֲחֵיהֶם עֲשָׂרָֽה׃
