The Work Assigned to the Priests

24These are the groups to which the descendants of Aaron belong. Aaron had four sons: Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.H4256H1121H175H1121H175H5070H30H499H385
2Nadab and Abihu died before their father did, and left no descendants, so their brothers Eleazar and Ithamar became priests.H5070H30H4191H6440H1H1121H499H385H3547
3King David organized the descendants of Aaron into groups according to their duties. He was assisted in this by Zadok, a descendant of Eleazar, and by Ahimelech, a descendant of Ithamar.H1732H2505H6659H1121H499H288H1121H385H6486H5656
4The descendants of Eleazar were organized into sixteen groups, while the descendants of Ithamar were organized into eight; this was done because there were more male heads of families among the descendants of Eleazar.H7227H7218H1397H4672H1121H499H1121H385H2505H1121H499H8337H6240H7218H1004H1H8083H1121H385H1004H1
5Since there were Temple officials and spiritual leaders among the descendants of both Eleazar and Ithamar, assignments were made by drawing lots.H2505H1486H428H428H8269H6944H8269H430H1121H499H1121H385
6The descendants of Eleazar and of Ithamar took turns drawing lots. Then they were registered by Shemaiah son of Nethanel, a Levite secretary. The king, his officials, the priest Zadok, Ahimelech son of Abiathar, and the heads of the priestly families and of the Levite families, were all witnesses.H8098H1121H5417H5608H3881H3789H6440H4428H8269H6659H3548H288H1121H54H7218H1H3548H3881H259H1H1004H270H499H270H385
7This is the order in which the twenty-four family groups were given their assignments: 1) Jehoiarib; 2) Jedaiah;H7223H1486H3318H3080H8145H3048
83) Harim; 4) Seorim;H7992H2766H7243H8188
95) Malchijah; 6) Mijamin;H2549H4441H8345H4326
107) Hakkoz; 8) Abijah;H7637H6976H8066H29
119) Jeshua; 10) Shecaniah;H8671H3442H6224H7935
1211) Eliashib; 12) Jakim;H6249H6240H475H8147H6240H3356
1313) Huppah; 14) Jeshebeab;H7969H6240H2647H702H6240H3428
1415) Bilgah; 16) Immer;H2568H6240H1083H8337H6240H564
1517) Hezir; 18) Happizzez;H7651H6240H2387H8083H6240H6483
1619) Pethahiah; 20) Jehezkel;H8672H6240H6611H6242H3168
1721) Jachin; 22) Gamul;H259H6242H3199H8147H6242H1577
1823) Delaiah; 24) Maaziah.H7969H6242H1806H702H6242H4590
19These men were registered according to their assignments for going to the Temple and performing the duties established by their ancestor Aaron in obedience to the commands of the LORD God of Israel.H6486H5656H935H1004H3068H4941H3027H175H1H3068H430H3478H6680

31The head of each family and one of his younger brothers drew lots for their assignments, just as their relatives, the priests descended from Aaron, had done.
