With the help of Zadok, who was a descendant of Eleazar, and of Ahimelech, who was a descendant of Ithamar, David divided Aaron’s descendants into groups according to their various duties.
Среди потомков Элеазара оказалось больше глав семейств, чем среди потомков Итамара, и потому они были соответственно разделены: шестнадцать глав семейств из потомков Элеазара и восемь глав семейств из потомков Итамара.
All tasks were assigned to the various groups by means of sacred lots so that no preference would be shown, for there were many qualified officials serving God in the sanctuary from among the descendants of both Eleazar and Ithamar.
Shemaiah son of Nethanel, a Levite, acted as secretary and wrote down the names and assignments in the presence of the king, the officials, Zadok the priest, Ahimelech son of Abiathar, and the family leaders of the priests and Levites. The descendants of Eleazar and Ithamar took turns casting lots.
Писарь Шемая, сын Нафанаила, левит, записал их имена в присутствии царя, вождей народа, священника Цадока, Ахимелеха, сына Авиатара, и глав священнических и левитских семейств — одну семью брали из потомков Элеазара, а другую — из потомков Итамара.
Each group carried out its appointed duties in the house of the LORD according to the procedures established by their ancestor Aaron in obedience to the commands of the LORD, the God of Israel.
Таков был установленный порядок их служения, когда они входили в дом Господа по установлениям, которые оставил им их праотец Аарон, как повелел ему Господь, Бог Израиля.
These were the other family leaders descended from Levi: From the descendants of Amram, the leader was Shebuel.a From the descendants of Shebuel, the leader was Jehdeiah.
Like the descendants of Aaron, they were assigned to their duties by means of sacred lots, without regard to age or rank. Lots were drawn in the presence of King David, Zadok, Ahimelech, and the family leaders of the priests and the Levites.
Они тоже бросали жребий, как и их братья, потомки Аарона, в присутствии царя Давида, Цадока, Ахимелеха и глав священнических и левитских семейств. Семьи старших братьев были уравнены в правах с семьями младших.
