The Levites
When David was old and full of years, he made his son Solomon king over Israel.
When David was old and full of years, he made his son Solomon king over Israel.
Also machte David seinen Sohn Salomo zum König über Israel, da er alt und des Lebens satt war.
He also gathered together all the leaders of Israel, as well as the priests and Levites.
Und David versammelte alle Obersten in Israel und die Priester und Leviten.
The Levites thirty years old or more were counted, and the total number of men was thirty-eight thousand.
Und man zählte die Leviten von 30 Jahren und darüber; und ihre Zahl war von Haupt zu Haupt, was Männer waren, 38,000.
David said, “Of these, twenty-four thousand are to be in charge of the work of the temple of the Lord and six thousand are to be officials and judges.
Aus diesen sollen 24,000 dem Werk am Hause des HERRN vorstehen und 6000 Amtleute und Richter sein
Four thousand are to be gatekeepers and four thousand are to praise the Lord with the musical instruments I have provided for that purpose.”
und 4000 Torhüter und 4000 Lobsänger des HERRN mit Saitenspielen, die ich gemacht habe, Lob zu singen.

sondern nach den letzten Worten Davids,
The duty of the Levites was to help Aaron’s descendants in the service of the temple of the Lord: to be in charge of the courtyards, the side rooms, the purification of all sacred things and the performance of other duties at the house of God.
daß sie stehen sollten unter der Hand der Kinder Aaron, zu dienen im Hause des HERRN in den Vorhöfen und Kammern und zur Reinigung von allerlei Heiligem und zu allem Werk des Amts im Hause Gottes
They were in charge of the bread set out on the table, the special flour for the grain offerings, the thin loaves made without yeast, the baking and the mixing, and all measurements of quantity and size.
und zum Schaubrot, zum Semmelmehl für das Speisopfer, zu den ungesäuerten Fladen, zur Pfanne, zum Rösten und zu allem Gewicht und Maß
They were also to stand every morning to thank and praise the Lord. They were to do the same in the evening
und zu stehen des Morgens, zu danken und zu loben den HERRN, und des Abends auch also,
and whenever burnt offerings were presented to the Lord on the Sabbaths, at the New Moon feasts and at the appointed festivals. They were to serve before the Lord regularly in the proper number and in the way prescribed for them.
und alle Brandopfer dem HERRN zu opfern auf die Sabbate, Neumonde und Feste, nach der Zahl und Gebühr allewege vor dem HERRN,

daß sie des Dienstes an der Hütte des Stifts warteten und des Heiligtums und der Kinder Aaron, ihrer Brüder, zu dienen im Hause des HERRN.
