39Heman’s kinsmanH251 was AsaphH623, who servedH5975 atH5921 his right handH3225: 40AsaphH623 the sonH1121 of BerechiahH1296, the sonH1121 of ShimeaH8092, the sonH1121 of MichaelH4317, the sonH1121 of BaaseiahH1202,1 the sonH1121 of MalchijahH4441, 41the sonH1121 of EthniH867, the sonH1121 of ZerahH2226, the sonH1121 of AdaiahH5718, 42the sonH1121 of EthanH387, the sonH1121 of ZimmahH2155, the sonH1121 of ShimeiH8096, 43the sonH1121 of JahathH3189, the sonH1121 of GershomH1647, the sonH1121 of LeviH3878. 44OnH5921 the leftH8040 were their kinsmenH251, the sonsH1121 of MerariH4847: 45EthanH387 the sonH1121 of KishiH7029, the sonH1121 of AbdiH5660, the sonH1121 of MalluchH4409, the sonH1121 of HashabiahH2811, the sonH1121 of AmaziahH558, the sonH1121 of HilkiahH2518, 46the sonH1121 of AmziH557, the sonH1121 of BaniH1137, the sonH1121 of ShemerH8106, 47the sonH1121 of MahliH4249, the sonH1121 of MushiH4187, the sonH1121 of MerariH4847, the sonH1121 of LeviH3878.
48Their fellowH251 LevitesH3881 were assignedH5414 to every kindH3605 of serviceH5656 of the tabernacleH4908, the houseH1004 of GodH430. 49But AaronH175 and his sonsH1121 did allH3605 the workH4399 of the Most Holy PlaceH6944.2 They presented the offeringsH6999 onH5921 the altarH4196 of burnt offeringH5930 and onH5921 the altarH4196 of incenseH7004 to make atonementH3722 forH5921 IsraelH3478, according to allH3605 thatH834 MosesH4872 the servantH5650 of GodH430 had commandedH6680.
50TheseH428 were the descendantsH1121 of AaronH175: 51EleazarH499 his sonH1121, PhinehasH6372 his sonH1121, AbishuaH50 his sonH1121, BukkiH1231 his sonH1121, UzziH5813 his sonH1121, ZerahiahH2228 his sonH1121, 52MeraiothH4812 his sonH1121, AmariahH568 his sonH1121, AhitubH285 his sonH1121, 53ZadokH6659 his sonH1121, and AhimaazH290 his sonH1121.
54Now theseH428 were the territoriesH1366 assigned to the descendantsH1121 of AaronH175 from the KohathiteH6956 clanH4940 for their settlementsH4186H2918, becauseH3588 the first lotH1486 fellH1961 to them:
55They were givenH5414 HebronH2275 in the landH776 of JudahH3063 and its surroundingH5439 pasturelandsH4054. 56But the fieldsH7704 and villagesH2691 around the cityH5892 were givenH5414 to CalebH3612 sonH1121 of JephunnehH3312. 57So the descendantsH1121 of AaronH175 were givenH5414 HebronH2275 (a cityH5892 of refugeH4733), LibnahH3841,3 JattirH3492, EshtemoaH851, 58HilenH2432,4 DebirH1688, 59AshanH6228,5 Juttah,6 and Beth-shemeshH1053, together withH853 their pasturelandsH4054. 60And from the tribeH4294 of BenjaminH1144 they were given Gibeon,7 GebaH1387, AlemethH5964, and AnathothH6068, together withH853 their pasturelandsH4054. So they had thirteenH7969H6240H5892 citiesH5892 in allH3605 among their familiesH4940. 61To the restH3498H4940 of the KohathitesH1121H6955, tenH6235 citiesH5892 were allottedH1486 from the half-tribeH4276H4294H2677 of ManassehH4519.
62The GershomitesH1121H1647,8 according to their clansH4940, were allotted thirteenH7969H6240 citiesH5892 from the tribesH4294 of IssacharH3485H4294, AsherH836H4294, NaphtaliH5321H4294, and ManassehH4519 in BashanH1316.
63The MeraritesH1121H4847, according to their clansH4940, were allottedH1486 twelveH8147H6240 citiesH5892 from the tribesH4294 of ReubenH7205H4294, GadH1410H4294, and ZebulunH2074.
64So the IsraelitesH1121H3478 gaveH5414 to the LevitesH3881 these citiesH5892 and their pasturelandsH4054. 65They assignedH5414 by lotH1486 the citiesH5892H428 namedH7121 aboveH8034 from the tribesH4294 of JudahH1121H3063H4294, SimeonH1121H8095H4294, and BenjaminH1121H1144.
66And some of the clansH4940 of the KohathitesH1121H6955H1961 were given citiesH5892 from the tribeH4294 of EphraimH669 for their territoryH1366:
