1 Chronicles 26
26
1Concerning the divisions of the porters: Of the Korchi [of baldness] [was] Meshelemyahu [whom Yehovah repays] the son of Kore [crier], of the sons of Asaf [gatherer].
2And the sons of Meshelemyahu [whom Yehovah repays] [were], Z’kharyah [Yehovah remembers] the firstborn, Y’dia’el [God makes known] the second, Z’vadyah [endowment of Yehovah] the third, Yatni’el [God hires me] the fourth,
3‘Eilam [eternity] the fifth, Y’hochanan [Yehovah has graced] the sixth, Elyo’eina [unto Yehovah are my eyes] the seventh.
4Moreover the sons of ‘Oved-Edom [servant of Edom] [were], Sh’may’yah [Yehovah hears] the firstborn, Y’hozavad [Yehovah has endowed] the second, Yo’ach [Yahovah is brother] the third, and Sakhar [wages] the fourth, and N’tan’el [God’s Gift] the fifth,
5‘Ammi’el [my kinsman is God] the sixth, Yissakhar [There Is Recompense] the seventh, Pe’ultai [work] the eighth: for God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] Blessed (Favored by God; happy; prosperous) him.
6Also unto Sh’may’yah [Yehovah hears] his son were sons born, that ruled throughout the house of their father: for they [were] mighty men of valour.
7The sons of Sh’may’yah [Yehovah hears]; ‘Otni [lion of Yehovah], and Refa’el [healed of God], and ‘Oved [serving], Elzavad [God has given], whose brethren [were] strong men, Elihu [He is my God], and S’makhyahu [Yehovah has sustained].
8All these of the sons of ‘Oved-Edom [servant of Edom]: they and their sons and their brethren, able men for strength for the service, [were] threescore and two of ‘Oved-Edom [servant of Edom].
9And Meshelemyahu [whom Yehovah repays] had sons and brethren, strong men, eighteen.
10Also Hosah [refuge], of the children of M’rari [Bitter], had sons; Shimri [vigilant] the chief, (for [though] he was not the firstborn, yet his father made him the chief;)
11Hilkiyahu [my portion is Yehovah] the second, T’valyahu [purified] the third, Z’kharyah [Yehovah remembers] the fourth: all the sons and brethren of Hosah [refuge] [were] thirteen.
12Among these [were] the divisions of the porters, [even] among the chief men, [having] wards one against another, to minister in the house of the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate).
13And they cast lots, as well the small as the great, according to the house of their fathers, for every gate.
14And the lot eastward fell to Shelemyah [repaid by Yehovah] [repaid by Yehovah]. Then for Z’kharyah [Yehovah remembers] his son, a wise counsellor, they cast lots; and his lot came out northward.
15To ‘Oved-Edom [servant of Edom] southward; and to his sons the house of what is gathered (the storehouse).
16To Shupim [serpents] and Hosah [refuge] [the lot came forth] westward, with the gate Shallekhet [overthrow], by the causeway of the going up, ward (in custody, with a guard; prison) against ward (in custody, with a guard; prison).
17Eastward [were] six Levi’im (Levites) [Joined to], northward four a day, southward four a day, and toward Asuppim (Storehouse) two [and] two.
18At Parbar (structure on the west side of Solomon’s temple) [open apartment] westward, four at the causeway, [and] two at Parbar (structure on the west side of Solomon’s temple) [open apartment].
19These [are] the divisions of the porters among the sons of Kore [crier], and among the sons of M’rari [Bitter].
20And of the Levi’im (Levites) [Joined to], Achiyah [brother of Yehovah] [was] over the treasures of the house of God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered], and over the treasures of the dedicated things.
21 [As concerning] the sons of La’dan [put in order]; the sons of the Gershuni, La’dan [put in order], chief fathers, [even] of La’dan [put in order] the Gershuni, [were] Jehieli.
22The sons of Yechi’eli [God shall save alive]; Zetam [olive], and Yo’el [Yehovah is God] his brother, [which were] over the treasures of the house of the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate).
23Of the ‘Amrami [exalted], [and] the Yitz’hari [oil], the Khevroni, [and] the ‘Uzi’el [God is My Strength]:
24And Sh’vu’el [captive of God] the son of Gershom [Exiled One], the son of Moshe [He Who Draws Out Of The Waters], [was] ruler of the treasures.
25And his brethren by Eli’ezer [God is help]; Rechavyah [Yehovah has enlarged] his son, and Yesha’yah [Yehovah has saved] his son, and Yoram [Yehovah is exalted] his son, and Zikhri [Illustrious] his son, and Shlomit [Peaceful] his son.
26Which Shlomit [Peaceful] and his brethren [were] over all the treasures of the dedicated things, which David [beloved] the king, and the chief fathers, the captains over thousands and hundreds, and the captains of the host, had dedicated.
27Out of the spoils won in battles did they dedicate to maintain the house of the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate).
28And all that Sh’mu’el [His name is El] the seer, and Sha’ul [desired] the son of Kish [bent], and Avner [my father is a lamp] the son of Ner [lamp], and Yo’av [Yehovah is father] the son of Tz’ruyah [balsam], had dedicated; [and] whosoever had dedicated [any thing, it was] under the hand of Shlomit [Peaceful], and of his brethren.
29Of the Yitz’hari [oil], K’nanyaho [Yehovah establishes] and his sons [were] for the outward business over Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], for officers and judges.
30 [And] of the Khevroni, Hashavyah [Yehovah has considered] and his brethren, men of valour, a thousand and seven hundred, [were] officers among them of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] on this side Yarden [Descender] westward in all the business of the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), and in the service of the king.
31Among the Khevroni [was] Y’riyah [taught by Yehovah] the chief, [even] among the Khevroni, according to the generations of his fathers. In the fortieth year of the reign of David [beloved] they were sought for, and there were found among them mighty men of valour at Ya’zer [Helped] of Gil’ad [Rocky Region].
32And his brethren, men of valour, [were] two thousand and seven hundred chief fathers, whom king David [beloved] made rulers over the Re’uveni [behold, a son!], the Gadi [my fortune] [A Troop], and the half tribe of M’nasheh [Causing to Forget], for every matter pertaining to God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered], and affairs of the king.
