14 Kore (crier) son of Imnah (right hand) the Levite, the keeper of the East Gate, was in charge of the freewill offerings given to God {Elohim}, distributing the contributions to the LORD {YHWH} and the consecrated gifts. 15 Under his authority, Eden (pleasure), Miniamin (from the right hand), Jeshua (he is saved), Shemaiah (heard by YHWH), Amariah (YHWH has promised), and Shecaniah (dweller with YHWH) faithfully distributed portions to their fellow priests in their cities, according to their divisions, old and young alike (whether large or small). 16 In addition, they distributed portions to the males registered by genealogy who were three years of age or older—to all who would enter the house of the LORD {YHWH} for their daily duties for service in the responsibilities of their divisions— 17 and to the priests enrolled according to their families in the genealogy, as well as to the Levites twenty years of age or older, according to their responsibilities and divisions. 18 The genealogy included all the little ones, wives, sons, and daughters of the whole assembly. For they had faithfully consecrated themselves as holy. 19 As for the priests, the descendants of Aaron (light bringer), who lived on the farmlands around each of their cities or in any other city, men were designated by name to distribute a portion to every male among the priests and to every Levite listed by the genealogies. 20 So this is what Hezekiah (YHWH is my strength) did throughout Judah (praised). He did what was good and upright and true before the LORD his God {YHWH Elohaw}. 21 He acted with all his heart in every work that he began in the service of the house of God {Elohim}, and in the law and the commandments, in order to seek his God. And so he prospered. 2 Chronicles 31:14-21, Berean Annotated Bible. Public domain.
