1 Chronicles 26:12-22

12 hii divisi sunt in ianitores ut semper principes custodiarum sicut et fratres eorum ministrarent in domo Domini

13 missae sunt autem sortes ex aequo et parvis et magnis per familias suas in unamquamque portarum

14 cecidit igitur sors orientalis Selemiae porro Zacchariae filio eius viro prudentissimo et erudito sortito obtigit plaga septentrionalis

15 Obededom vero et filiis eius ad austrum in qua parte domus erat seniorum concilium

16 Sepphima et Hosa ad occidentem iuxta portam quae ducit ad viam ascensionis custodia contra custodiam

17 ad orientem vero Levitae sex et ad aquilonem quattuor per diem atque ad meridiem similiter in die quattuor et ubi erat concilium bini et bini

18 in cellulis quoque ianitorum ad occidentem quattuor in via binique per cellulas

19 hae sunt divisiones ianitorum filiorum Core et Merari

20 porro Achias erat super thesauros domus Dei ac vasa sanctorum

21 filii Ledan filii Gersonni de Ledan principes familiarum Ledan et Gersonni Ieiheli

22 filii Ieiheli Zathan et Iohel frater eius super thesauros domus Domini
