7. The Bnei Shema'yah: Otni, and Repha'el, and Oved, Elzavad, whose brethren were bnei chayil, Elihu, and Semachyahu.

8. All these of the Bnei Oved Edom; they and their banim and their brethren, ish chayil for ko'ach for the avodah, were threescore and two of Oved Edom.

9. And Meshelemyahu had banim and brethren, bnei chayil, eighteen.

10. Also Chosah, of the Bnei Merari, had banim; Shimri the rosh, (for though he was not the bechor, yet avihu appointed him rosh);

11. Chilkiyahu the second, Tevalyahu the third, Zecharyahu the fourth; all the banim and brethren of Chosah were thirteen.

12. Among these were the divisions of the sho'arim, even among the rashei hagibborim, having mishmeret (duties), just as their brethren, to minister service in the Beis Hashem.

13. And they cast goralot, the katon as well as the gadol, to their bais avot, for every sha'ar.

14. And the goral for the east fell to Shelemyahu. Then for Zecharyahu bno, a yo'etz (counselor) with seichel (wisdom), they cast goralot; and his goral fell out northward.

15. To Oved Edom southward; and to his banim the Asuppim Bais.

16. To Shuppim and Chosah the goral came forth westward, with the Sha'ar Shallechet, by the upper road, mishmar (guard) corresponded to mishmar.

17. Eastward were six Levi'im, northward four a day, southward four a day, and toward Asuppim shnayim shnayim (two and two).

18. At Parbar westward, four at the road, and two at Parbar.

19. These are the divisions of the sho'arim among the Bnei Korchi, and among the Bnei Merari.

20. And of the Levi'im, Achiyah was over the otzarot of the Beis HaElohim, and over the otzarot of the kodashim.
