16 The sons of Leʹvi were Gerʹshom, Koʹhath, and Me·rarʹi. 17 These are the names of the sons of Gerʹshom: Libʹni and Shimʹe·i. 18 The sons of Koʹhath were Amʹram, Izʹhar, Hebʹron, and Uzʹzi·Al. 19 The sons of Me·rarʹi were Mahʹli and Muʹshi.

31 These were the ones whom David appointed to direct the singing at the house of Ahv'ah {Heb.

Yahvah} in Yerushalom, and they carried out their service as prescribed for them. 33 These are the men who served with their sons: Of the Koʹhath·ites, Heʹman the singer, son of Yo'Al son of Samuel 34 son of Al·kaʹnah son of Ye·roʹham son of Eʹli·Al son of Toʹah 35 son of Zuph son of Al·kaʹnah son of Maʹhath son of A·maʹsai 36 son of Al·kaʹnah son of Yo'Al son of Az·a·ryʹah son of Zeph·a·nyʹah 37 son of Taʹhath son of Asʹsir son of E·biʹa·saph son of Korʹah 38 son of Izʹhar son of Koʹhath son of Leʹvi son of Isra'Al.

44 The descendants of Me·rarʹi their brothers were at the left hand; there was Eʹthan son of Kishʹi son of Abʹdi son of Malʹluch 45 son of Hash·a·byʹah son of Am·a·zyʹah son of Hil·kyʹah 46 son of Amʹzi son of Baʹni son of Sheʹmer 47 son of Mahʹli son of Muʹshi son of Me·rarʹi son of Leʹvi.
48 Their brothers the Levites were appointed for all the service of the tabernacle, the house of the true Al {pre. Ahl}. 49 Aaron and his sons made the sacrifices smoke on the altar of burnt offering and on the altar of incense, performing the duties connected with the most holy things, to make atonement for Isra'Al, according to all that Moses the servant of the true Al {pre. Ahl} had commanded. 50 These were the descendants of Aaron: Al·e·aʹzar his son, Phinʹe·has his son, Ab·i·shuʹa his son, 51 Bukʹki his son, Uzʹzi his son, Zer·a·hyʹah his son, 52 Me·raʹioth his son, Am·a·ryʹah his son, A·hiʹtub his son, 53 Zaʹdok his son, and A·himʹa·az his son.
54 These were their settlements by their encampments in their territory: for the descendants of Aaron belonging to the family of the Koʹhath·ites, as the first lot fell to them, 55 they gave them Hebʹron in the land of Judah, with its surrounding pastures. 56 But the field of the city and its settlements they gave to Caʹleb the son of Ye·phunʹneh. 57 And to the descendants of Aaron they gave the cities of refuge, Hebʹron, also Libʹnah with its pastures, Jatʹtir, Esh·te·moʹa with its pastures, 58 Hiʹlen with its pastures, Deʹbir with its pastures, 59 Aʹshan with its pastures, and Beth-sheʹmesh with its pastures; 60 and from the tribe of Benjamin, Geʹba with its pastures, Alʹe·meth with its pastures, and Anʹa·thoth with its pastures. All their cities for their families were 13 cities.
61 To the rest of the Koʹhath·ites, there were allotted ten cities, from the family of the tribe, from the half tribe, the half of Ma·nasʹseh.
62 To the Gerʹshom·ites by their families they assigned 13 cities from the tribe of Isʹsa·char, the tribe of Ashʹer, the tribe of Naphʹta·li, and the tribe of Ma·nasʹseh in Baʹshan.
63 To the Me·rarʹites by their families they assigned by lot 12 cities from the tribe of Reuʹben, the tribe of Gad, and the tribe of Zebʹu·lun.
64 Thus the Isra'Al·ites gave the Levites these cities with their pastures. 65 Furthermore, they assigned by lot these cities from the tribe of Judah, the tribe of Simʹe·on, and the tribe of Benjamin, which are mentioned by their names.
66 Some of the Koʹhath·ite families had cities from the tribe of Eʹphra·im as their territory. 67 They gave them the cities of refuge, Sheʹchem with its pastures in the mountainous region of Eʹphra·im, Geʹzer with its pastures, 68 Jokʹme·am with its pastures, Beth-hoʹron with its pastures, 69 Aiʹja·lon with its pastures, and Gath-rimʹmon with its pastures; 70 and from half of the tribe of Ma·nasʹseh, Aʹner with its pastures and Bilʹe·am with its pastures, to the rest of the families of the Koʹhath·ites.

77 To the rest of the Me·rarʹites they assigned from the tribe of Zebʹu·lun, Rimʹmo·no with its pastures, Taʹbor with its pastures; 78 and in the region of the Jordan at Yerʹi·cho, to the east of the Jordan, from the tribe of Reuʹben, they were given Beʹzer in the wilderness with its pastures, Jaʹhaz with its pastures, 79 Kedʹe·moth with its pastures, and Mephʹa·ath with its pastures; 80 and from the tribe of Gad, Raʹmoth in Gilʹe·ad with its pastures, Ma·ha·naʹim with its pastures, 81 Heshʹbon with its pastures, and Jaʹzer with its pastures.
