Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,“ Command the children of Israel, and tell them,‘ See that you present my offering, my food for my offerings made by fire, as a pleasant aroma to me, in their due season.’You shall tell them,‘ This is the offering made by fire which you shall offer to Yahweh: male lambs a year old without defect, two day by day, for a continual burnt offering.You shall offer the one lamb in the morning, and you shall offer the other lamb at evening,with one tenth of an ephah of fine flour for a meal offering, mixed with the fourth part of a hin of beaten oil.It is a continual burnt offering which was ordained in Mount Sinai for a pleasant aroma, an offering made by fire to Yahweh.Its drink offering shall be the fourth part of a hin for each lamb. You shall pour out a drink offering of strong drink to Yahweh in the holy place.The other lamb you shall offer at evening. As the meal offering of the morning, and as its drink offering, you shall offer it, an offering made by fire, for a pleasant aroma to Yahweh.“‘ On the Sabbath day, you shall offer two male lambs a year old without defect, and two tenths of an ephah of fine flour for a meal offering mixed with oil, and its drink offering:this is the burnt offering of every Sabbath, in addition to the continual burnt offering and its drink offering.“‘ In the beginnings of your months, you shall offer a burnt offering to Yahweh: two young bulls, one ram, seven male lambs a year old without defect,and three tenths of an ephah of fine flour for a meal offering mixed with oil, for each bull; and two tenth parts of fine flour for a meal offering mixed with oil, for the one ram;and one tenth part of fine flour mixed with oil for a meal offering to every lamb, as a burnt offering of a pleasant aroma, an offering made by fire to Yahweh.Their drink offerings shall be half a hin of wine for a bull, the third part of a hin for the ram, and the fourth part of a hin for a lamb. This is the burnt offering of every month throughout the months of the year.Also, one male goat for a sin offering to Yahweh shall be offered in addition to the continual burnt offering and its drink offering.“‘ In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month, is Yahweh’s Passover.On the fifteenth day of this month shall be a feast. Unleavened bread shall be eaten for seven days.In the first day shall be a holy convocation. You shall do no regular work,but you shall offer an offering made by fire, a burnt offering to Yahweh: two young bulls, one ram, and seven male lambs a year old. They shall be without defect,with their meal offering, fine flour mixed with oil. You shall offer three tenths for a bull, and two tenths for the ram.You shall offer one tenth for every lamb of the seven lambs;and one male goat for a sin offering, to make atonement for you.You shall offer these in addition to the burnt offering of the morning, which is for a continual burnt offering.In this way you shall offer daily, for seven days, the food of the offering made by fire, of a pleasant aroma to Yahweh. It shall be offered in addition to the continual burnt offering and its drink offering.On the seventh day you shall have a holy convocation. You shall do no regular work.“‘ Also in the day of the first fruits, when you offer a new meal offering to Yahweh in your feast of weeks, you shall have a holy convocation. You shall do no regular work;but you shall offer a burnt offering for a pleasant aroma to Yahweh: two young bulls, one ram, seven male lambs a year old;and their meal offering, fine flour mixed with oil, three tenths for each bull, two tenths for the one ram,one tenth for every lamb of the seven lambs;and one male goat, to make atonement for you.Besides the continual burnt offering and its meal offering, you shall offer them and their drink offerings. See that they are without defect.

Now David was old and full of days; and he made Solomon his son king over Israel.He gathered together all the princes of Israel, with the priests and the Levites.The Levites were counted from thirty years old and upward; and their number by their polls, man by man, was thirty- eight thousand.David said,“ Of these, twenty- four thousand were to oversee the work of Yahweh’s house, six thousand were officers and judges,four thousand were doorkeepers, and four thousand praised Yahweh with the instruments which I made for giving praise.”David divided them into divisions according to the sons of Levi: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.Of the Gershonites: Ladan and Shimei.The sons of Ladan: Jehiel the chief, Zetham, and Joel, three.The sons of Shimei: Shelomoth, Haziel, and Haran, three. These were the heads of the fathers’ households of Ladan.The sons of Shimei: Jahath, Zina, Jeush, and Beriah. These four were the sons of Shimei.Jahath was the chief, and Zizah the second; but Jeush and Beriah didn’t have many sons; therefore they became a fathers’ house in one reckoning.The sons of Kohath: Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel, four.The sons of Amram: Aaron and Moses; and Aaron was separated, that he should sanctify the most holy things, he and his sons, forever, to burn incense before Yahweh, to minister to him, and to bless in his name, forever.But as for Moses the man of God, his sons were named among the tribe of Levi.The sons of Moses: Gershom and Eliezer.The sons of Gershom: Shebuel the chief.The sons of Eliezer were: Rehabiah the chief; and Eliezer had no other sons; but the sons of Rehabiah were very many.The sons of Izhar: Shelomith the chief.The sons of Hebron: Jeriah the chief, Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third, and Jekameam the fourth.The sons of Uzziel: Micah the chief, and Isshiah the second.The sons of Merari: Mahli and Mushi. The sons of Mahli: Eleazar and Kish.Eleazar died, and had no sons, but daughters only: and their brothers the sons of Kish took them as wives.The sons of Mushi: Mahli, Eder, and Jeremoth, three.These were the sons of Levi after their fathers’ houses, even the heads of the fathers’ houses of those who were counted individually, in the number of names by their polls, who did the work for the service of Yahweh’s house, from twenty years old and upward.
