These were the Levites, listed by their families.

[24:20]  ¹ tn Heb “Belonging to the rest of the sons of Levi.”

[24:20]  ² tn This appears to be a variant of the name Shebuel (cf. 1 Chr 23:16 and 26:24).

[24:23]  ³ tc Most Hebrew mss omit “Hebron” here, but see 1 Chr 23:19. The name is included in two Hebrew mss and some LXX mss.

[24:24]  ⁴ tn The Hebrew text has the plural “sons,” but only one name appears after this.

[24:26]  ⁵ tn Heb “the sons of Jaaziah, Beno.” Apparently בְנוֹ (vÿno), which could be translated “his son,” is a proper name here. The text, however, may be corrupt at this point; a list of Jaaziah’s sons may have been accidentally omitted. See v. 27.

[24:27]  ⁶ tn Or “from Jaaziah his son.” See the note on “Beno” in v. 26.

[24:29]  ⁷ tc The Hebrew text has, “Belonging to [i.e., from] Kish, the sons of Kish, Jerahmeel.” There appears to be a conflation of headings.
