39And his brother Asaph, who stood on his right hand, even Asaph the sonH1121 of Berechiah, the sonH1121 of Shimea, 40the son of Michael, the son of Baaseiah, the son of Malchijah, 41the sonH1121 of Ethni, the sonH1121 of Zerah, the sonH1121 of Adaiah, 42the sonH1121 of Ethan, the sonH1121 of Zimmah, the sonH1121 of Shimei, 43the son of Jahath, the son of Gershom, the son of Levi. 44And on the left hand their brethren the sons of Merari: Ethan the son of Kishi, the son of Abdi, the son of Malluch, 45the son of Hashabiah, the son of Amaziah, the son of Hilkiah, 46the sonH1121 of Amzi, the sonH1121 of Bani, the sonH1121 of Shemer, 47the sonH1121 of Mahli, the sonH1121 of Mushi, the sonH1121 of Merari, the sonH1121 of Levi. 48And their brethren the Levites were appointed for all the service of the tabernacle of the house of God.

49But Aaron and his sonsH1121 offered upon the altar of burnt-offering, and upon the altar of incense, for all the work of the most holy place, and to makeH5414 atonement for IsraelH3478, according to all that Moses the servant of God had commanded. 50And these are the sonsH1121 of Aaron: Eleazar his sonH1121, Phinehas his sonH1121, Abishua his sonH1121, 51Bukki his sonH1121, Uzzi his sonH1121, Zerahiah his sonH1121, 52Meraioth his son, Amariah his son, Ahitub his son, 53Zadok his son, Ahimaaz his son.

54Now these are their dwelling-places according to their encampments in their borders: to the sons of Aaron, of the families of the Kohathites (for theirs was the first lot), 55to them they gave Hebron in the land of Judah, and the suburbs thereof round about it; 56but the fields of the city, and the villages thereof, they gave to Caleb the sonH1121 of Jephunneh. 57And to the sons of Aaron they gave the cities of refuge, Hebron; Libnah also with its suburbs, and Jattir, and Eshtemoa with its suburbs, 58and Hilen with its suburbs, Debir with its suburbs, 59and Ashan with its suburbs, and Beth-shemesh with its suburbs; 60and out of the tribe of Benjamin, Geba with its suburbs, and Allemeth with its suburbs, and Anathoth with its suburbs. All their cities throughout their families were thirteen cities.

61And unto the rest of the sons of Kohath were given by lot, out of the family of the tribeH4294, out of the half-tribe, the half of Manasseh, ten cities. 62And to the sonsH1121 of Gershom, according to their families, out of the tribeH4294 of Issachar, and out of the tribeH4294 of Asher, and out of the tribeH4294 of Naphtali, and out of the tribeH4294 of Manasseh in Bashan, thirteen cities. 63Unto the sons of Merari were given by lot, according to their families, out of the tribeH4294 of ReubenH7205, and out of the tribeH4294 of Gad, and out of the tribeH4294 of Zebulun, twelve cities. 64And the children of Israel gave to the Levites the cities with their suburbs. 65And they gave by lot out of the tribeH4294 of the children of Judah, and out of the tribeH4294 of the children of Simeon, and out of the tribeH4294 of the children of Benjamin, these cities which are mentioned by name.

66And some of the families of the sons of Kohath had cities of their borders out of the tribe of Ephraim.
