1 Chronicles 23:1 (ERVEN) Easy to Read - English

1 David became an old man, so he made his son Solomon the new king of Israel.
2 David gathered all the leaders of Israel and also the priests and Levites.
3 David counted the Levites who were 30 years old and older. All together there were 38,000 Levites.
4 David said, "24,000 will supervise the work of building the Lord's temple. 6000 will be court officers and judges.
5 4000 will be gatekeepers, and 4000 will be musicians. I made special musical instruments for them. They will use them to praise the Lord."
6 David separated the Levites into three groups. They were the tribes of Levi's three sons, Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.
7 From the tribe of Gershon there were Ladan and Shimei.
8 Ladan had three sons. His oldest son was Jehiel. His other sons were Zethan and Joel.
9 Shimei's sons were Shelomoth, Haziel, and Haran. These three sons were leaders in Ladan's families.
10 Shimei had four sons. They were Jahath, Ziza, Jeush, and Beriah.
11 Jahath was the oldest son and Ziza was the second son. But Jeush and Beriah did not have many children. So Jeush and Beriah were counted like one family.
12 Kohath had four sons. They were Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel.
13 Amram's sons were Aaron and Moses. Aaron was chosen to be very special. Aaron and his descendants were chosen to be special forever. They were chosen to prepare the holy things for the Lord's service. Aaron and his descendants were chosen to burn the incense before the Lord. They were chosen to serve the Lord as priests. They were chosen to use the Lord's name and give blessings to the people forever.
14 Moses was the man of God, and his sons were part of the tribe of Levi.
15 Moses' sons were Gershom and Eliezer.
16 Gershom's oldest son was Shubael.
17 Eliezer's oldest son was Rehabiah. Eliezer had no other sons. But Rehabiah had very many sons.
18 Izhar's oldest son was Shelomith.
19 Hebron's oldest son was Jeriah. Hebron's second son was Amariah. Jahaziel was the third son, and Jekameam was the fourth son.
20 Uzziel's oldest son was Micah, and Isshiah was his second son.
21 Merari's sons were Mahli and Mushi. Mahli's sons were Eleazar and Kish.
22 Eleazar died without having sons. He only had daughters. Eleazar's daughters married their own relatives. Their relatives were Kish's sons.
23 Mushi's sons were Mahli, Eder, and Jeremoth. There were three sons in all.
24 These were Levi's descendants. They were listed by their families. They were the leaders of families. Each person's name was listed. The people who were listed were 20 years old or older. They served in the Lord's Temple.
25 David had said, "The Lord, the God of Israel, has given peace to his people. The Lord has come to Jerusalem to live there forever.
26 So the Levites don't need to carry the Holy Tent or any of the things used in its services anymore."
27 David's last instructions for the Israelites were to count the descendants from the tribe of Levi. They counted the Levite men who were 20 years old and older.
28 The Levites had the job of helping Aaron's descendants in the service of the Lord's Temple. They also cared for the Temple yard and the side rooms in the Temple. They had the job of making all holy things pure. It was their job to serve in God's Temple.
29 They were responsible for putting the special bread on the table in the Temple and for the flour, the grain offerings, and the bread made without yeast. They were also responsible for the baking pans and the mixed offerings. They did all the measuring.
30 The Levites stood every morning and gave thanks and praise to the Lord. They also did this every evening.
31 The Levites prepared all the burnt offerings to the Lord on the Sabbath days, during New Moon celebrations, and on the other special meeting days. They served before the Lord every day. There were special rules for how many Levites should serve each time.
32 So the Levites did everything that they were supposed to do. They took care of the Holy Tent and the Holy Place. And they helped their relatives, the priests, Aaron's descendants, with the services at the Lord's Temple.
1 So when David H1732 was old H2204 and full H7646 of days H3117 NMP , he made H4427 Solomon H8010 MMS his son H1121 king over H5921 PREP Israel H3478 LMS .

12 The sons H1121 of Kohath H6955 ; Amram H6019 , Izhar H3324 , Hebron H2275 , and Uzziel H5816 , four H702 .
13 The sons H1121 W-CMP-3MS of Amram H6019 ; Aaron H175 and Moses H4872 : and Aaron H175 was separated H914 , that he should sanctify H6942 the most holy things H6944 , he H1931 PPRO-3MS and his sons H1121 W-CMP-3MS forever H5704 PREP , to burn incense H6999 before H6440 L-CMP the LORD H3068 EDS , to minister H8334 unto him , and to bless H1288 in his name H8034 forever H5704 PREP .
14 Now concerning Moses H4872 the man H376 NMS of God H430 D-EDP , his sons H1121 CMP-3MS were named H7121 of H5921 PREP the tribe H7626 CMS of Levi H3878 .
