1 The courses of the sons of Aharon [were these]. The sons of Aharon: Nadav and Avihu, El`azar and Itamar.
2 But Nadav and Avihu died before their father, and had no children: therefore El`azar and Itamar executed the Kohen's office.
3 David with Tzadok of the sons of El`azar, and Achimelekh of the sons of Itamar, divided them according to their ordering in their service.
4 There were more chief men found of the sons of El`azar than of the sons of Itamar; and [thus] were they divided: of the sons of El`azar there were sixteen, heads of fathers' houses; and of the sons of Itamar, according to their fathers' houses, eight.
5 Thus were they divided by lot, one sort with another; for there were princes of the sanctuary, and princes of God, both of the sons of El`azar, and of the sons of Itamar.
6 Shemayah the son of Netan'el the Sofer, who was of the Levites, wrote them in the presence of the king, and the princes, and Tzadok the Kohen, and Achimelekh the son of Avyatar, and the heads of the fathers' [houses] of the Kohanim and of the Levites; one fathers' house being taken for El`azar, and one taken for Itamar.
7 Now the first lot came forth to Yehoiariv, the second to Yedayah,
8 the third to Harim, the fourth to Seorim,
9 the fifth to Malkiyah, the sixth to Miyamin,
10 the seventh to Hakkotz, the eighth to Aviyah,
