Also BakbukiahH1229 and UnniH6042, their brethrenH251, were over against them in the watchesH4931.
And JeshuaH3442 begatH3205 JoiakimH3113, JoiakimH3113 also begatH3205 EliashibH475, and EliashibH475 begatH3205 JoiadaH3111,
And JoiadaH3111 begatH3205 JonathanH3129, and JonathanH3129 begatH3205 JadduaH3037.

The LevitesH3881 in the daysH3117 of EliashibH475, JoiadaH3111, and JohananH3110, and JadduaH3037, were recordedH3789 chiefH7218 of the fathersH1: also the priestsH3548, to the reignH4438 of DariusH1867 the PersianH6542.
The sonsH1121 of LeviH3878, the chiefH7218 of the fathersH1, were writtenH3789 in the bookH5612 of the chroniclesH1697, even until the daysH3117 of JohananH3110 the sonH1121 of EliashibH475.
And the chiefH7218 of the LevitesH3881: HashabiahH2811, SherebiahH8274, and JeshuaH3442 the sonH1121 of KadmielH6934, with their brethrenH251 over against them, to praiseH1984 and to give thanksH3034, according to the commandmentH4687 of DavidH1732 the manH376 of GodH430, wardH4929 over againstH5980 wardH4929.
MattaniahH4983, and BakbukiahH1229, ObadiahH5662, MeshullamH4918, TalmonH2929, AkkubH6126, were portersH7778 keepingH8104 the wardH4929 at the thresholdsH624 of the gatesH8179. {thresholds: or, treasuries, or, assemblies}
These were in the daysH3117 of JoiakimH3113 the sonH1121 of JeshuaH3442, the sonH1121 of JozadakH3136, and in the daysH3117 of NehemiahH5166 the governorH6346, and of EzraH5830 the priestH3548, the scribeH5608.
And at the dedicationH2598 of the wallH2346 of JerusalemH3389 they soughtH1245 the LevitesH3881 out of all their placesH4725, to bringH935 them to JerusalemH3389, to keepH6213 the dedicationH2598 with gladnessH8057, both with thanksgivingsH8426, and with singingH7892, with cymbalsH4700, psalteriesH5035, and with harpsH3658.
And the sonsH1121 of the singersH7891 gathered themselves togetherH622, both out of the plain countryH3603 round aboutH5439 JerusalemH3389, and from the villagesH2691 of NetophathiH5200;
Also from the houseH1004 of GilgalH1537+H1019, and out of the fieldsH7704 of GebaH1387 and AzmavethH5820: for the singersH7891 had buildedH1129 them villagesH2691 round aboutH5439 JerusalemH3389.
And the priestsH3548 and the LevitesH3881 purifiedH2891 themselves, and purifiedH2891 the peopleH5971, and the gatesH8179, and the wallH2346.
Then I brought upH5927 the princesH8269 of JudahH3063 upon the wallH2346, and appointedH5975 twoH8147 greatH1419 companies of them that gave thanksH8426, whereof one wentH8418 on the right handH3225 upon the wallH2346 toward the dungH830 gateH8179:
And afterH310 them wentH3212 HoshaiahH1955, and halfH2677 of the princesH8269 of JudahH3063,
And AzariahH5838, EzraH5830, and MeshullamH4918,
JudahH3063, and BenjaminH1144, and ShemaiahH8098, and JeremiahH3414,
And certain of the priests'H3548 sonsH1121 with trumpetsH2689; namely, ZechariahH2148 the sonH1121 of JonathanH3129, the sonH1121 of ShemaiahH8098, the sonH1121 of MattaniahH4983, the sonH1121 of MichaiahH4320, the sonH1121 of ZaccurH2139, the sonH1121 of AsaphH623:
And his brethrenH251, ShemaiahH8098, and AzaraelH5832, MilalaiH4450, GilalaiH1562, MaaiH4597, NethaneelH5417, and JudahH3063, HananiH2607, with the musicalH7892 instrumentsH3627 of DavidH1732 the manH376 of GodH430, and EzraH5830 the scribeH5608 beforeH6440 them.
And at the fountainH5869 gateH8179, which was over against them, they went upH5927 by the stairsH4609 of the cityH5892 of DavidH1732, at the going upH4608 of the wallH2346, above the houseH1004 of DavidH1732, even unto the waterH4325 gateH8179 eastwardH4217.
And the otherH8145 company of them that gave thanksH8426 wentH1980 over againstH4136 them, and I afterH310 them, and the halfH2677 of the peopleH5971 upon the wallH2346, from beyond the towerH4026 of the furnacesH8574 even unto the broadH7342 wallH2346;
And from above the gateH8179 of EphraimH669, and above the oldH3465 gateH8179, and above the fishH1709 gateH8179, and the towerH4026 of HananeelH2606, and the towerH4026 of MeahH3968, even unto the sheepH6629 gateH8179: and they stood stillH5975 in the prisonH4307 gateH8179.
So stoodH5975 the twoH8147 companies of them that gave thanksH8426 in the houseH1004 of GodH430, and I, and the halfH2677 of the rulersH5461 with me:
And the priestsH3548; EliakimH471, MaaseiahH4641, MiniaminH4509, MichaiahH4320, ElioenaiH454, ZechariahH2148, and HananiahH2608, with trumpetsH2689;
And MaaseiahH4641, and ShemaiahH8098, and EleazarH499, and UzziH5813, and JehohananH3076, and MalchijahH4441, and ElamH5867, and EzerH5829. And the singersH7891 sang loudH8085, with JezrahiahH3156 their overseerH6496. {sang…: Heb. made their voice to be heard}
Also that dayH3117 they offeredH2076 greatH1419 sacrificesH2077, and rejoicedH8055: for GodH430 had made them rejoiceH8055 with greatH1419 joyH8057: the wivesH802 also and the childrenH3206 rejoicedH8055: so that the joyH8057 of JerusalemH3389 was heardH8085 even afar offH7350.
And at that timeH3117 were someH582 appointedH6485 over the chambersH5393 for the treasuresH214, for the offeringsH8641, for the firstfruitsH7225, and for the tithesH4643, to gatherH3664 into them out of the fieldsH7704 of the citiesH5892 the portionsH4521 of the lawH8451 for the priestsH3548 and LevitesH3881: for JudahH3063 rejoicedH8057 for the priestsH3548 and for the LevitesH3881 that waitedH5975. {of the law: that is, appointed by the law} {for Judah…: Heb. for the joy of Judah} {waited: Heb. stood}
And both the singersH7891 and the portersH7778 keptH8104 the wardH4931 of their GodH430, and the wardH4931 of the purificationH2893, according to the commandmentH4687 of DavidH1732, and of SolomonH8010 his sonH1121.
For in the daysH3117 of DavidH1732 and AsaphH623 of oldH6924 there were chiefH7218 of the singersH7891, and songsH7892 of praiseH8416 and thanksgivingH3034 unto GodH430.
And all IsraelH3478 in the daysH3117 of ZerubbabelH2216, and in the daysH3117 of NehemiahH5166, gaveH5414 the portionsH4521 of the singersH7891 and the portersH7778, every dayH3117 his portionH1697: and they sanctifiedH6942 holy things unto the LevitesH3881; and the LevitesH3881 sanctifiedH6942 them unto the childrenH1121 of AaronH175. {sanctified: that is, set apart}

Then JacobH3290 saidH559 unto his householdH1004, and to all that were with him, Put awayH5493 the strangeH5236 godsH430 that are among youH8432, and be cleanH2891, and changeH2498 your garmentsH8071:
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto MosesH4872, GoH3212 unto the peopleH5971, and sanctifyH6942 them to dayH3117 and to morrowH4279, and let them washH3526 their clothesH8071,
And he saidH559 unto the peopleH5971, BeH1961 readyH3559 against the thirdH7969 dayH3117: comeH5066 not at your wivesH802.
This is the ordinanceH2708 of the lawH8451 which the LORDH3068 hath commandedH6680, sayingH559, SpeakH1696 unto the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, that they bringH3947 thee a redH122 heiferH6510 without spotH8549, wherein is no blemishH3971, and upon which neverH3808 cameH5927 yokeH5923:
And ye shall giveH5414 her unto EleazarH499 the priestH3548, that he may bring her forthH3318 withoutH2351 the campH4264, and one shall slayH7819 her beforeH6440 his face:
And EleazarH499 the priestH3548 shall takeH3947 of her bloodH1818 with his fingerH676, and sprinkleH5137 of her bloodH1818 directlyH5227 beforeH6440 the tabernacleH168 of the congregationH4150 sevenH7651 timesH6471:
And one shall burnH8313 the heiferH6510 in his sightH5869; her skinH5785, and her fleshH1320, and her bloodH1818, with her dungH6569, shall he burnH8313:
And the priestH3548 shall takeH3947 cedarH730 woodH6086, and hyssopH231, and scarletH8438+H8144, and castH7993 it into the midstH8432 of the burningH8316 of the heiferH6510.
Then the priestH3548 shall washH3526 his clothesH899, and he shall batheH7364 his fleshH1320 in waterH4325, and afterwardH310 he shall comeH935 into the campH4264, and the priestH3548 shall be uncleanH2930 until the evenH6153.
And he that burnethH8313 her shall washH3526 his clothesH899 in waterH4325, and batheH7364 his fleshH1320 in waterH4325, and shall be uncleanH2930 until the evenH6153.
And a manH376 that is cleanH2889 shall gatherH622 up the ashesH665 of the heiferH6510, and lay them upH3240 withoutH2351 the campH4264 in a cleanH2889 placeH4725, and it shall be keptH4931 for the congregationH5712 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 for a waterH4325 of separationH5079: it is a purification for sinH2403.
And he that gatherethH622 the ashesH665 of the heiferH6510 shall washH3526 his clothesH899, and be uncleanH2930 until the evenH6153: and it shall be unto the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, and unto the strangerH1616 that sojournethH1481 amongH8432 them, for a statuteH2708 for everH5769.
He that touchethH5060 the deadH4191 bodyH5315 of any manH120 shall be uncleanH2930 sevenH7651 daysH3117. {man: Heb. soul of man}
He shall purifyH2398 himself with it on the thirdH7992 dayH3117, and on the seventhH7637 dayH3117 he shall be cleanH2891: but if he purifyH2398 not himself the thirdH7992 dayH3117, then the seventhH7637 dayH3117 he shall not be cleanH2891.
Whosoever touchethH5060 the deadH4191 bodyH5315 of any manH120 that is deadH4191, and purifiethH2398 not himself, defilethH2930 the tabernacleH4908 of the LORDH3068; and that soulH5315 shall be cut offH3772 from IsraelH3478: because the waterH4325 of separationH5079 was not sprinkledH2236 upon him, he shall be uncleanH2931; his uncleannessH2932 is yet upon him.
This is the lawH8451, when a manH120 diethH4191 in a tentH168: all that comeH935 into the tentH168, and all that is in the tentH168, shall be uncleanH2930 sevenH7651 daysH3117.
And every openH6605 vesselH3627, which hath no coveringH6781 boundH6616 upon it, is uncleanH2931.
And whosoever touchethH5060 one that is slainH2491 with a swordH2719 in the openH6440 fieldsH7704, or a dead bodyH4191, or a boneH6106 of a manH120, or a graveH6913, shall be uncleanH2930 sevenH7651 daysH3117.
And for an uncleanH2931 person they shall takeH3947 of the ashesH6083 of the burnt heiferH8316 of purification for sinH2403, and runningH2416 waterH4325 shall be putH5414 thereto in a vesselH3627: {ashes: Heb. dust} {running…: Heb. living waters shall be given}
And a cleanH2889 personH376 shall takeH3947 hyssopH231, and dipH2881 it in the waterH4325, and sprinkleH5137 it upon the tentH168, and upon all the vesselsH3627, and upon the personsH5315 that were there, and upon him that touchedH5060 a boneH6106, or one slainH2491, or one deadH4191, or a graveH6913:
And the cleanH2889 person shall sprinkleH5137 upon the uncleanH2931 on the thirdH7992 dayH3117, and on the seventhH7637 dayH3117: and on the seventhH7637 dayH3117 he shall purifyH2398 himself, and washH3526 his clothesH899, and batheH7364 himself in waterH4325, and shall be cleanH2891 at evenH6153.
But the manH376 that shall be uncleanH2930, and shall not purifyH2398 himself, that soulH5315 shall be cut offH3772 from amongH8432 the congregationH6951, because he hath defiledH2930 the sanctuaryH4720 of the LORDH3068: the waterH4325 of separationH5079 hath not been sprinkledH2236 upon him; he is uncleanH2931.
And saidH559 unto them, HearH8085 me, ye LevitesH3881, sanctifyH6942 now yourselves, and sanctifyH6942 the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 GodH430 of your fathersH1, and carry forthH3318 the filthinessH5079 out of the holyH6944 place.
But the priestsH3548 were too fewH4592, so that they couldH3201 not flayH6584 all the burnt offeringsH5930: wherefore their brethrenH251 the LevitesH3881 did helpH2388 them, till the workH4399 was endedH3615, and until the other priestsH3548 had sanctifiedH6942 themselves: for the LevitesH3881 were more uprightH3477 in heartH3824 to sanctifyH6942 themselves than the priestsH3548. {did help…: Heb. strengthened them}
And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, which were come againH7725 out of captivityH1473, and all such as had separatedH914 themselves unto them from the filthinessH2932 of the heathenH1471 of the landH776, to seekH1875 the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478, did eatH398,
And it was so, when the daysH3117 of their feastingH4960 were gone aboutH5362, that JobH347 sentH7971 and sanctifiedH6942 them, and rose up earlyH7925 in the morningH1242, and offeredH5927 burnt offeringsH5930 according to the numberH4557 of them all: for JobH347 saidH559, It may beH194 that my sonsH1121 have sinnedH2398, and cursedH1288 GodH430 in their heartsH3824. Thus didH6213 JobH347 continuallyH3117. {continually: Heb. all the days}
