1So all Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] were reckoned by genealogies; and, behold, they [were] written in the book of the kings of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] and Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised], [who] were carried away to Bavel (to jumble, or a confused medley of sounds; confusion; gate of the deity) (Babylon) [confusion] for their transgression.

2Now the first inhabitants that [dwelt] in their possessions in their cities [were], the Yisra’eli’s, the priests, Levi’im (Levites) [Joined to], and the temple servants. 3And in Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace] dwelt of the children of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised], and of the children of Binyamin [Son of the Right Hand/Strength], and of the children of Efrayim [Doubly Fruitful], and M’nasheh [Causing to Forget]; 4‘Utai [helpful] the son of Ammihud [People of Magesty], the son of ‘Omri [pupil of Yehovah], the son of Imri [eloquent], the son of Bani [built], of the children of Partzi [Breach (breaking forth; a break; opening, inlet)] the son of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised]. 5And of the Shiloni [place of rest]; ‘Asayah [made by Yehovah] the firstborn, and his sons. 6And of the sons of Zerach [Rising]; Ye’u’el [God sweeps away], and their brethren, six hundred and ninety. 7And of the sons of Binyamin [Son of the Right Hand/Strength]; Salu [weighed] the son of Meshulam [friend], the son of Hodavyah [praise you Yehovah], the son of Hasnu’ah [bristling], 8And Yivneyah [Yehovah builds] the son of Yerocham [showing pity], and Elah [an oak] the son of ‘Uzi [strong], the son of Mikhri [wothy of price], and Meshulam [friend] the son of Sh’fatyah [Yehovah has judged], the son of Re’u [friend]’el [friend of God], the son of Yivneyah [whom Yehovah will build up]; 9And their brethren, according to their generations, nine hundred and fifty and six. All these men [were] chief of the fathers in the house of their fathers.

10And of the priests; Y’da’yah [Yehovah has known], and Y’hoyariv [Yehovah contends], and Yakhin [He will establish], 11And ‘Azaryah [Yehovah has helped] the son of Hilkiyahu [my portion is Yehovah], the son of Meshulam [friend], the son of Tzadok [righteous], the son of M’rayot [rebellious], the son of Achituv [my brother is good], the ruler of the house of God-Elohim (The Living Word) [The Many Powered]; 12And ‘Adayah [Yehovah has adorned Himself] the son of Yerocham [showing pity], the son of Pash’chur [freedom], the son of Malkiyah [my king is Yehovah], and Ma’asai [work of the Lord] the son of ‘Adi’el [ornament of God], the son of Yachzerah [whom God leads back], the son of Meshulam [friend], the son of Meshilmit [recompense], the son of Immer [he has said]; 13And their brethren, heads of the house of their fathers, a thousand and seven hundred and threescore; very able men for the work of the service of the house of God-Elohim (The Living Word) [The Many Powered].

14And of the Levi’im (Levites) [Joined to]; Sh’may’yah [Yehovah hears] the son of Hashuv [considerate], the son of ‘Azrikam [help against the enemy], the son of Hashavyah [Yehovah has considered], of the sons of M’rari [Bitter]; 15And Bakbakar [searcher], Heresh [mute], and Galal [influential], and Matanyah [gift of Yehovah] the son of Mikhay’hu [Who is Like God?], the son of Zikhri [Illustrious], the son of Asaf [gatherer]; 16And ‘Ovadyah [servant of Yehovah] the son of Sh’may’yah [Yehovah hears], the son of Galal [influential], the son of Y’dutun [praising], and Berekhyah [Yehovah blesses] the son of Asa [healer; injurious?], the son of Elkanah [God Has Taken Possession], that dwelt in the villages of the N’tofati [dropping].

17And the porters [were], Shalum [retribution], and ‘Akuv [insidious], and Talmon [oppressor], and Achiman [My Brother is a Gift], and their brethren: Shalum [retribution] [was] the chief; 18Who up to this time [waited] in the king's gate eastward: they [were] porters in the companies of the children of Levi (Levite) [Adhesion, Joiner]. 19And Shalum [retribution] the son of Kore [crier], the son of Evyasaf [my father has gathered], the son of Korakh [Bald], and his brethren, of the house of his father, the Korahites, [were] over the work of the service, keepers of the gates of the tabernacle: and their fathers, [being] over the host of the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), [were] keepers of the entry. 20And Pinchas [mouth of brass] the son of El’azar [God has helped] was the ruler over them in time past, [and] the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) [was] with him. 21[And] Z’kharyah [Yehovah remembers] the son of Meshelemiah [was] porter of the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. 22All these [which were] chosen to be porters in the gates [were] two hundred and twelve. These were reckoned by their genealogy in their villages, whom David [beloved] and Sh’mu’el [His name is El] the seer did ordain in their set office. 23So they and their children [had] the oversight of the gates of the house of the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), [namely], the house of the tabernacle, by wards. 24In four quarters were the porters, toward the east, west, north, and south. 25And their brethren, [which were] in their villages, [were] to come after seven days from time to time with them. 26For these Levi’im (Levites) [Joined to], the four chief porters, were in [their] set office, and were over the chambers and treasuries of the house of God-Elohim (The Living Word) [The Many Powered]. 27And they lodged round about the house of God-Elohim (The Living Word) [The Many Powered], because the charge [was] upon them, and the opening thereof every morning [pertained] to them.

28And [certain] of them had the charge of the ministering vessels, that they should bring them in and out by tale. 29[Some] of them also [were] appointed to oversee the vessels, and all the instruments of the sanctuary, and the fine flour, and the wine, and the oil, and the frankincense, and the spices. 30And [some] of the sons of the priests made the ointment of the spices. 31And Mattityah [gift of Yehovah], [one] of the Levi’im (Levites) [Joined to], who [was] the firstborn of Shalum [retribution] the Korchi [one of frost, ice, hail, bald], had the set office over the things that were made in the pans. 32And [other] of their brethren, of the sons of the K’hati, [were] over the showbread, to prepare [it] every Shabbat [Rest].

33And these [are] the singers, chief of the fathers of the Levi’im (Levites) [Joined to], [who remaining] in the chambers [were] free: for they were employed in [that] work day and night. 34These chief fathers of the Levi’im (Levites) [Joined to] [were] chief throughout their generations; these dwelt at Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace].

35And in Giv’on [Hill City] dwelt the father of Giv’on [Hill City], Jehiel, whose wife's name [was] Ma’akhah [oppression]: 36And his firstborn son Avdon [Servile], then Tzur [Rock], and Kish [bent], and Ba’al [lord (a false god)], and Ner [lamp], and Nadav [Generous], 37And G’dor [Wall], and Achyo [brotherly or fraternal], and Z’kharyah [Yehovah remembers], and Miklot [rods (clubs)]. 38And Miklot [rods (clubs)] begat (to be father of; be ancestor of) Shim’am [their fame]. And they also dwelt with their brethren at Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace], over against their brethren. 39And Ner [lamp] begat (to be father of; be ancestor of) Kish [bent]; and Kish [bent] begat (to be father of; be ancestor of) Sha’ul [desired]; and Sha’ul [desired] begat (to be father of; be ancestor of) Y’honatan [Yehovah has Given], and Malkishua [my king is wealth], and Avinadav [my father is noble], and Eshba’al [a man of lord]. 40And the son of Y’honatan [Yehovah has Given] [was] M’riv-Ba’al [lord is my advocate]: and M’riv-Ba’al [lord is my advocate] begat (to be father of; be ancestor of) Mikhay’hu [Who is Like God?]. 41And the sons of Mikhay’hu [Who is Like God?] [were], Piton [harmless], and Melekh [king], and Tahrea, [and Achaz [he has grasped]]. 42And Achaz [he has grasped] begat (to be father of; be ancestor of) Jarah; and Jarah begat (to be father of; be ancestor of) ‘Alemet [covering], and ‘Azmavet [strong unto death], and Zimri [My Music]; and Zimri [My Music] begat (to be father of; be ancestor of) Motza [fountain]; 43And Motza [fountain] begat (to be father of; be ancestor of) Bin’a [fountain]; and Refayah [healed of Yehovah] his son, El’asah [God has made] his son, Atzel [he has reserved] his son. 44And Atzel [he has reserved] had six sons, whose names [are] these, ‘Azrikam [help against the enemy], Bokhru [firstborn], and Yishma’el [God will hear], and Sh’aryah [valued by Yehovah], and ‘Ovadyah [servant of Yehovah], and Hanan [he is merciful]: these [were] the sons of Atzel [he has reserved].
