1 εἰς διαιρέσεις τῶν πυλῶν υἱοῖς Κορεϊμ Μοσολλαμια υἱὸς Κωρη ἐκ τῶν υἱῶν Αβιασαφ 2 καὶ τῷ Μοσολλαμια υἱοί Ζαχαριας ὁ πρωτότοκος Ιδιηλ ὁ δεύτερος Ζαβαδιας ὁ τρίτος Ιεθνουηλ ὁ τέταρτος 3 Ωλαμ ὁ πέμπτος Ιωαναν ὁ ἕκτος Ελιωηναι ὁ ἕβδομος 4 καὶ τῷ Αβδεδομ υἱοί Σαμαιας ὁ πρωτότοκος Ιωζαβαδ ὁ δεύτερος Ιωαα ὁ τρίτος Σωχαρ ὁ τέταρτος Ναθαναηλ ὁ πέμπτος 5 Αμιηλ ὁ ἕκτος Ισσαχαρ ὁ ἕβδομος Φολλαθι ὁ ὄγδοος ὅτι εὐλόγησεν αὐτὸν ὁ θεός 6 καὶ τῷ Σαμαια υἱῷ αὐτοῦ ἐτέχθησαν υἱοὶ τοῦ πρωτοτόκου Ρωσαι εἰς τὸν οἶκον τὸν πατρικὸν αὐτοῦ ὅτι δυνατοὶ ἦσαν 7 υἱοὶ Σαμαια Γοθνι καὶ Ραφαηλ καὶ Ωβηδ καὶ Ελζαβαδ καὶ Αχιου υἱοὶ δυνατοί Ελιου καὶ Σαβχια καὶ Ισβακωμ 8 πάντες ἀπὸ τῶν υἱῶν Αβδεδομ αὐτοὶ καὶ οἱ ἀδελφοὶ αὐτῶν καὶ υἱοὶ αὐτῶν ποιοῦντες δυνατῶς ἐν τῇ ἐργασίᾳ οἱ πάντες ἑξήκοντα δύο τῷ Αβδεδομ 9 καὶ τῷ Μοσολλαμια υἱοὶ καὶ ἀδελφοὶ δέκα καὶ ὀκτὼ δυνατοί 10 καὶ τῷ Ωσα τῶν υἱῶν Μεραρι υἱοὶ φυλάσσοντες τὴν ἀρχήν ὅτι οὐκ ἦν πρωτότοκος καὶ ἐποίησεν αὐτὸν ὁ πατὴρ αὐτοῦ ἄρχοντα 11 τῆς διαιρέσεως τῆς δευτέρας Ταβλαι ὁ τρίτος Ζαχαριας ὁ τέταρτος πάντες οὗτοι υἱοὶ καὶ ἀδελφοὶ τῷ Ωσα τρισκαίδεκα

1 The door-keepers, too, were divided into families. For the Corites, there was Meselemia, a son of Asaph, 2 and his seven sons, Zacharias, Jadihel, Zabadias, Jathanael, 3 Aelam, Johanan and Elioenai; 4 together with the eight sons of Obededom, Semeias, Jozabad, Joaha, Sachar, Nathanael, 5 Ammiel, Issachar and Phollathi; such blessing had Obededom from the Lord. 6 His grandsons, too, through Semeias, were tried warriors and heads of separate families, 7 Othni, and his warrior brothers, Raphael, Obed, Elzabad, Eliu, and Samachias. 8 All these were descended from Obededom, and with their sons and brethren, sturdy ministrants, they made a company of sixty-two; 9 the descendants of Meselemia, with their sons and brethren, valorous men too, were but twenty-eight. 10 And for Merari there were the sons of Hosa; their father, his first-born lost, gave the chief place among them to Semri; 11 the others were Helcias, Tabelias and Zacharias. Sons and brethren Hosa had in all thirteen.

1 Divisiones autem janitorum: de Coritis Meselemia, filius Core, de filiis Asaph. 2 Filii Meselemiæ: Zacharias primogenitus, Jadihel secundus, Zabadias tertius, Jathanaël quartus, 3 Ælam quintus, Johanan sextus, Elioënai septimus. 4 Filii autem Obededom: Semeias primogenitus, Jozabad secundus, Joaha tertius, Sachar quartus, Nathanaël quintus, 5 Ammiel sextus, Issachar septimus, Phollathi octavus: quia benedixit illi Dominus. 6 Semei autem filio ejus nati sunt filii, præfecti familiarum suarum: erant enim viri fortissimi. 7 Filii ergo Semeiæ: Othni, et Raphaël, et Obed, Elzabad, fratres ejus viri fortissimi: Eliu quoque et Samachias. 8 Omnes hi, de filiis Obededom: ipsi, et filii et fratres eorum, fortissimi ad ministrandum, sexaginta duo de Obededom. 9 Porro Meselemiæ filii, et fratres eorum robustissimi, decem et octo. 10 De Hosa autem, id est, de filiis Merari: Semri princeps (non enim habuerat primogenitum, et idcirco posuerat eum pater ejus in principem), 11 Helcias secundus, Tabelias tertius, Zacharias quartus: omnes hi filii et fratres Hosa, tredecim.

20 καὶ οἱ Λευῖται ἀδελφοὶ αὐτῶν ἐπὶ τῶν θησαυρῶν οἴκου κυρίου καὶ ἐπὶ τῶν θησαυρῶν τῶν καθηγιασμένων 21 υἱοὶ Λαδαν υἱοὶ τῷ Γηρσωνι τῷ Λαδαν ἄρχοντες πατριῶν τῷ Λαδαν τῷ Γηρσωνι Ιιηλ 22 καὶ υἱοὶ Ιιηλ Ζεθομ καὶ Ιωηλ οἱ ἀδελφοὶ ἐπὶ τῶν θησαυρῶν οἴκου κυρίου 23 τῷ Αμβραμ καὶ Ισσααρ Χεβρων καὶ Οζιηλ 24 καὶ Σουβαηλ ὁ τοῦ Γηρσαμ τοῦ Μωυσῆ ἡγούμενος ἐπὶ τῶν θησαυρῶν 25 καὶ τῷ ἀδελφῷ αὐτοῦ τῷ Ελιεζερ Ρααβιας υἱὸς καὶ Ιωσαιας καὶ Ιωραμ καὶ Ζεχρι καὶ Σαλωμωθ 26 αὐτὸς Σαλωμωθ καὶ οἱ ἀδελφοὶ αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ πάντων τῶν θησαυρῶν τῶν ἁγίων οὓς ἡγίασεν Δαυιδ ὁ βασιλεὺς καὶ οἱ ἄρχοντες τῶν πατριῶν χιλίαρχοι καὶ ἑκατόνταρχοι καὶ ἀρχηγοὶ τῆς δυνάμεως 27 ἃ ἔλαβεν ἐκ τῶν πολέμων καὶ ἐκ τῶν λαφύρων καὶ ἡγίασεν ἀ{P'} αὐτῶν τοῦ μὴ καθυστερῆσαι τὴν οἰκοδομὴν τοῦ οἴκου τοῦ θεοῦ 28 καὶ ἐπὶ πάντων τῶν ἁγίων Σαμουηλ τοῦ προφήτου καὶ Σαουλ τοῦ Κις καὶ Αβεννηρ τοῦ Νηρ καὶ Ιωαβ τοῦ Σαρουια πᾶν ὃ ἡγίασαν διὰ χειρὸς Σαλωμωθ καὶ τῶν ἀδελφῶν αὐτοῦ

20 The Levites, too, under Achias, had charge of the temple treasury, and of the votive offerings. 21 Some of these came down from Ledan, son of Gersom; the heads of their families were named after Jehiel, who was descended from Gersom by Ledan, 22 and Jehiel’s two sons, Zathan and Joel. These families had the permanent treasures of the Lord’s house in their charge, representing the whole Caathite clan, 23 Amramites, Isaarites, Hebronites and Ozihelites alike; 24 and the treasurer was Subael, descended through Gersom from Moses. 25 Meanwhile Gersom’s brother Eliezer was represented by Selemith, his descendant through Rahabia, Isaias, Joram and Zechri; 26 it was Selemith and his kindred that were treasurers of the votive offerings made by king David, by head of clan and captain and chief and general under him; 27 out of their wars and the spoils of their wars, they made these offerings for the maintenance and furnishing of the Lord’s house. 28 There was much that had been dedicated by the prophet Samuel, by Saul the son of Cis, Abner son of Ner, and Joab son of Sarvia; everything so dedicated was under the care of Selemith and his kindred.

20 Porro Achias erat super thesauros domus Dei, et vasa sanctorum. 21 Filii Ledan, filii Gersonni: de Ledan principes familiarum Ledan, et Gersonni, Jehieli. 22 Filii Jehieli: Zathan, et Joël fratres ejus super thesauros domus Domini. 23 Amramitis, et Isaaritis, et Hebronitis, et Ozihelitis. 24 Subaël autem filius Gersom filii Moysi, præpositus thesauris. 25 Fratres quoque ejus Eliezer, cujus filius Rahabia, et hujus filius Isaias, et hujus filius Joram, hujus quoque filius Zechri, et hujus filius Selemith. 26 Ipse Selemith, et fratres ejus, super thesauros sanctorum quæ sanctificavit David rex, et principes familiarum, et tribuni, et centuriones, et duces exercitus, 27 de bellis et manubiis præliorum, quæ consecraverant ad instaurationem et supellectilem templi Domini. 28 Hæc autem universa sanctificavit Samuel videns, et Saul filius Cis, et Abner filius Ner, et Joab filius Sarviæ: omnes qui sanctificaverant ea per manum Selemith et fratrum ejus.

[1] Or perhaps, ‘where the stores were kept’.

[2] The words in brackets are probably due to the error of a copyist who wrote down a Hebrew word in verse 15 twice over.

[3] The details in verses 29-32 are obscure, and it seems likely that the text has been badly handed down. After hearing that the Hebronites had charge of Israel west of Jordan, we do not expect to be told that they were registered east of Jordan, and held command there. It looks as if some other name, perhaps that of the Ozihelites (cf. verse 23 above) has dropped out. Nor is it easy to understand why Israel proper should have claimed the services of 1,700 Levites all told, if the tribes beyond Jordan were under 2,700 heads of Levite families.
