Divisions of the Gatekeepers

1 For the divisions ^H4256 of the gatekeepers ^H7778 there were of the Korahites ^H7145, [fn]Meshelemiah ^H4920 the son ^H1121 of Kore ^H6981, of the sons ^H1121 of [fn]Asaph ^H623.

2 Meshelemiah ^H4920 had sons ^H1121:

Zechariah ^H2148 the firstborn ^H1060, Jediael ^H3043 the second ^H8145, Zebadiah ^H2069 the third ^H7992, Jathniel ^H3496 the fourth ^H7243,

3 Elam ^H5867 the fifth ^H2549, Johanan ^H3076 the sixth ^H8345, Eliehoenai ^H454 the seventh ^H7637.

4 Obed-edom ^H5654 had sons ^H1121:

Shemaiah ^H8098 the firstborn ^H1060, Jehozabad ^H3075 the second ^H8145, Joah ^H3098 the third ^H7992, Sacar ^H7940 the fourth ^H7243, Nethanel ^H5417 the fifth ^H2549,

5 Ammiel ^H5988 the sixth ^H8345, Issachar ^H3485 the seventh ^H7637 and Peullethai ^H6469 the eighth ^H8066; God ^H430 had indeed ^H3588 blessed ^H1288 him.

6 Also to his son ^H1121 Shemaiah ^H8098 sons ^H1121 were born ^H3205 who ruled ^H4474 over the house ^H1004 of their father ^H1, for they were mighty ^H1368 men ^H1368 of valor ^H2428.

7 The sons ^H1121 of Shemaiah ^H8098 were Othni ^H6273, Rephael ^H7501, Obed ^H5744, and Elzabad ^H443, whose brothers ^H251, Elihu ^H453 and Semachiah ^H5565, were men ^H1121 of valor ^H2428.

8 All ^H3605 these ^H428 were of the sons ^H1121 of Obed-edom ^H5654; they and their sons ^H1121 and their [fn]relatives ^H251 were valiant ^H2428 men ^H376 with strength ^H3581 for the service ^H5656, sixty-two ^H8346 H8147 from Obed-edom ^H5654.

9 Meshelemiah ^H4920 had sons ^H1121 and relatives ^H251, eighteen ^H8083 H6240 men ^H1121 of valor ^H2428.

10 Also Hosah ^H2621, one of the sons ^H1121 of Merari ^H4847 had sons ^H1121:

Shimri ^H8113 the first ^H7218 (although ^H3588 he was not the firstborn ^H1060, his father ^H1 made ^H7760 him first ^H7218),

11 Hilkiah ^H2518 the second ^H8145, Tebaliah ^H2882 the third ^H7992, Zechariah ^H2148 the fourth ^H7243; all ^H3605 the sons ^H1121 and relatives ^H251 of Hosah ^H2621 were thirteen ^H7969 H6240.

12 To these ^H428 divisions ^H4256 of the gatekeepers ^H7778, the chief ^H7218 men ^H1397, were given responsibilities ^H4931 like ^H5980 their relatives ^H251 to minister ^H8334 in the house ^H1004 of Yahweh ^H3068. 13 And they cast ^H5307 lots ^H1486, the small ^H6996 and the great ^H1419 alike, according to their fathers’ ^H1 households ^H1004, for every ^H8179 gate ^H8179. 14 And the lot ^H1486 to the east ^H4217 fell ^H5307 to [fn]Shelemiah ^H8018. Then they cast ^H5307 lots ^H1486 for his son ^H1121 Zechariah ^H2148, a counselor ^H3289 with insight ^H7922, and his lot ^H1486 came ^H3318 out ^H3318 to the north ^H6828. 15 For Obed-edom ^H5654 it fell to the south ^H5045, and to his sons ^H1121 went the house ^H1004 of storerooms ^H624. 16 For Shuppim ^H8206 and Hosah ^H2621 it was to the west ^H4628, by the gate ^H8179 of Shallecheth ^H7996, on the ascending ^H5927 highway ^H4546. Guard ^H4929 corresponded ^H5980 to guard ^H4929. 17 On the east ^H4217 there were six ^H8337 Levites ^H3881, on the north ^H6828 four ^H702 daily ^H3117, on the south ^H5045 four ^H702 daily ^H3117, and at the storerooms ^H624 two ^H8147 by two ^H8147. 18 At the [fn]Parbar ^H6503 on the west ^H4628 there were four ^H702 at the highway ^H4546 and two ^H8147 at the Parbar ^H6503. 19 These ^H428 were the divisions ^H4256 of the gatekeepers ^H7778 of the sons ^H1121 of Korah ^H7145 and of the sons ^H1121 of Merari ^H4847.
