2. and he gathered all the rulers of Yisra’ĕl, with the priests and the Lĕwites.

4. Of these, twenty-four thousand were to oversee the work of the House of יהוה, and six thousand were officers and judges,
5. and four thousand were gatekeepers, and four thousand to give praise to יהוה, “which I made for giving praise.”

7. Of the Gĕrshonites: La‛dan and Shim‛i.
8. The sons of La‛dan: Yeḥi’ĕl the head, then Zĕtham and Yo’ĕl, three.
