  1. 1 Chronicles 25:8 tn Heb “and they cast lots [for] service, just as like small, like great, teacher with student.”
  2. 1 Chronicles 25:9 tc Heb “The first lot went to Asaph, to Joseph.” Apparently the recurring formula, “and his sons and his relatives, twelve” has been accidentally omitted from the Hebrew text at this point (see vv. 10-31; the formula is slightly different in v. 9b). If the number “twelve” is not supplied here, the total comes to only 276, not the 288 required by v. 7.

Young and old alike, teacher as well as student, cast lots(A) for their duties.

The first lot, which was for Asaph,(B) fell to Joseph,
his sons and relatives[a]12[b]
the second to Gedaliah,
him and his relatives and sons12
10 the third to Zakkur,
his sons and relatives12
