even the heads of the fathers' houses of those who were
counted individually, in the number of names by their polls,
who did the work for the service of the house of Yahweh,
from twenty years old and upward.
023:025 For David said, Yahweh, the God of Israel, has given rest
to his people; and he dwells in Jerusalem forever:
023:026 and also the Levites shall no more have need to carry the tent
and all the vessels of it for the service of it.
023:027 For by the last words of David the sons of Levi were numbered,
from twenty years old and upward.
023:028 For their office was to wait on the sons of Aaron for the service
of the house of Yahweh, in the courts, and in the chambers,
and in the purifying of all holy things, even the work
of the service of the house of God;
023:029 for the show bread also, and for the fine flour for a meal offering,
whether of unleavened wafers, or of that which is baked
in the pan, or of that which is soaked, and for all manner
of measure and size;
023:030 and to stand every morning to thank and praise Yahweh,
and likewise in the evening;
023:031 and to offer all burnt offerings to Yahweh, on the Sabbaths,
on the new moons, and on the set feasts, in number according
to the ordinance concerning them, continually before Yahweh;
023:032 and that they should keep the charge of the tent of meeting,
and the charge of the holy place, and the charge of the sons
of Aaron their brothers, for the service of the house of Yahweh.
024:001 These were the divisions of the sons of Aaron. The sons
of Aaron: Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar.
024:002 But Nadab and Abihu died before their father, and had no children:
therefore Eleazar and Ithamar executed the priest's office.
024:003 David with Zadok of the sons of Eleazar, and Ahimelech of
the sons of Ithamar, divided them according to their ordering
in their service.
024:004 There were more chief men found of the sons of Eleazar
than of the sons of Ithamar; and [thus] were they divided:
of the sons of Eleazar there were sixteen, heads of fathers'
houses; and of the sons of Ithamar, according to
their fathers' houses, eight.
024:005 Thus were they divided impartially by drawing lots;
for there were princes of the sanctuary, and princes of God,
both of the sons of Eleazar, and of the sons of Ithamar.
024:006 Shemaiah the son of Nethanel the scribe, who was of the Levites,
wrote them in the presence of the king, and the princes,
and Zadok the priest, and Ahimelech the son of Abiathar,
and the heads of the fathers' [houses] of the priests and
of the Levites; one fathers' house being taken for Eleazar,
and one taken for Ithamar.
024:007 Now the first lot came forth to Jehoiarib, the second to Jedaiah,
