These were the divisions of the sons of Aharon. The sons of Aharon: Nadav, Avihu, Elazar, and Itamar.
2
Nadav and Avihu died before the face of their father, and they had no sons; so Elazar and Itamar served as Kohenim.
3
Daviyd divided them, with Tzadoq from the sons of Elazar and Achimelekh from the sons of Itamar, according to their enrollment in their service.
4
More heads of mighty ones were found among the sons of Elazar than among the sons of Itamar, so they divided them: for the sons of Elazar, sixteen heads of father-houses; and for the sons of Itamar, eight according to their father-houses.
5
They divided them by lots, these with those, for commanders of the Set-Apart Place and commanders of the Elohim were from the sons of Elazar and from the sons of Itamar.
