Löydetty 2009 Tulokset: Families Of Israel
the Lord God of Israel, thought David, has given his people a resting-place, and made Jerusalem their home for ever; (1 Chronicles 23, 25)
and it proved there was no parity in their numbers, the division must take place between sixteen heads of families in Eleazar’s clan, eight in Ithamar’s. (1 Chronicles 24, 4)
The order of these families was arranged by lot, the heads of families in either clan taking rank as overseers of the sanctuary and of all divine things. (1 Chronicles 24, 5)
In the presence of the king and his nobles, of the high priest Sadoc, Abiathar’s son Achimelech, and all the heads of the priestly and Levitical families, the Levite scribe Semeias, son of Nathanael, inscribed the names, precedence being given first to one of Eleazar’s households, then to one of Ithamar’s. (1 Chronicles 24, 6)
These were the courses under which they exercised their office in turn, duly entering the Lord’s house after the manner prescribed by their father Aaron at the bidding of the Lord God of Israel. (1 Chronicles 24, 19)
and these too, in the presence of king David, and Sadoc, and Achimelech, and all the chiefs of the priestly and Levitical families, drew lots to match their brethren the sons of Aaron; greater or less, all must abide by the lot’s arbitrament. (1 Chronicles 24, 31)
The door-keepers, too, were divided into families. For the Corites, there was Meselemia, a son of Asaph, (1 Chronicles 26, 1)
His grandsons, too, through Semeias, were tried warriors and heads of separate families, (1 Chronicles 26, 6)
Lots were cast between the various families, without regard to seniority, and so the various gates were assigned to them; (1 Chronicles 26, 13)
Thus were duties assigned to the door-keepers, all of the Corite and Merarite families. (1 Chronicles 26, 19)
Some of these came down from Ledan, son of Gersom; the heads of their families were named after Jehiel, who was descended from Gersom by Ledan, (1 Chronicles 26, 21)
and Jehiel’s two sons, Zathan and Joel. These families had the permanent treasures of the Lord’s house in their charge, representing the whole Caathite clan, (1 Chronicles 26, 22)
