Le classi dei sacerdoti
24 Classi dei figli di Aronne. Figli di Aronne: Nadàb, Abiu, Ebiatàr, Eleàzaro e Itamar. 2 Nadàb e Abiu morirono prima del padre e non lasciarono discendenti. Esercitarono il sacerdozio Eleàzaro e Itamar.
3 Davide, insieme con Zadòk dei figli di Eleàzaro e con Achimèlech dei figli di Itamar, li divise in classi secondo il loro servizio. 4 Poiché risultò che i figli di Eleàzaro, relativamente alla somma dei maschi, erano più numerosi dei figli di Itamar, furono così classificati: sedici capi di casati per i figli di Eleàzaro, otto per i figli di Itamar. 5 Li divisero a sorte, questi come quelli, perché c'erano principi del santuario e principi di Dio sia tra i figli di Eleàzaro che tra i figli di Itamar. 6 Lo scriba Semaia figlio di Netaneèl, dei figli di Levi, ne fece il catalogo alla presenza del re, dei capi, del sacerdote Zadòk, di Achimèlech figlio di Ebiàtar, dei capi dei casati sacerdotali e levitici; si registravano due casati per Eleàzaro e uno per Itamar.
7 La prima sorte toccò a Ioarib, la seconda a Iedaia, 8 la terza a Carim, la quarta a Seorim, 9 la quinta a Malchia, la sesta a Miamin, 10 la settimana a Akkoz, l'ottava ad Abia, 11 la nona a Giosuè, la decima a Secania, 12 l'undecima a Eliasib, la dodicesima a Iakim, 13 la tredicesima a Cuppa, la quattordicesima a Is-Bàal, 14 la quindicesima a Bilga, la sedicesima a Immer, 15 la diciassettesima a Chezir, la diciottesima a Happizzès, 16 la diciannovesima a Petachia, la ventesima a Ezechiele, 17 la ventunesima a Iachin, la ventiduesima a Gamul, 18 la ventitreesima a Delaia, la ventiquattresima a Maazia. 19 Questi furono i turni per il loro servizio; a turno entravano nel tempio secondo la regola stabilita dal loro antenato Aronne, come gli aveva ordinato il Signore, Dio di Israele.
20 Quanto agli altri figli di Levi, per i figli di Amram c'era Subaèl, per i figli di Subaèl Iecdia. 21 Quanto a Recabia, il capo dei figli di Recabia era Issia. 22 Per gli Iseariti, Selomòt; per i figli di Selomòt, Iacat. 23 Figli di Ebron: Ieria il primo, Amaria secondo, Iacaziel terzo, Iekameam quarto. 24 Figli di Uzziel: Mica; per i figli di Mica, Samir; 25 fratello di Mica era Issia; per i figli di Issia, Zaccaria. 26 Figli di Merari: Macli e Musi; per i figli di Iaazia suo figlio. 27 Figli di Merari nella linea di Iaazia suo figlio: Soam, Zaccur e Ibri. 28 Per Macli: Eleàzaro, che non ebbe figli. 29 Per Kis i figli di Kis: Ieracmèl. 30 Figli di Musi: Macli, Eder e Ierimòt. Questi sono i figli dei leviti secondo i loro casati. 31 Anch'essi, come i loro fratelli, figli di Aronne, furono sorteggiati alla presenza del re Davide, di Zadòk, di Achimèlech, dei casati sacerdotali e levitici, il casato del primogenito come quello del fratello minore.

The Divisions of the Priests
24 Now these are the divisions of the sons of Aaron. (A)The sons of Aaron were Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar. 2 And (B)Nadab and Abihu died before their father, and had no children; therefore Eleazar and Ithamar ministered as priests. 3 Then David with Zadok of the sons of Eleazar, and (C)Ahimelech of the sons of Ithamar, divided them according to the schedule of their service.
4 There were more leaders found of the sons of Eleazar than of the sons of Ithamar, and thus they were divided. Among the sons of Eleazar were sixteen heads of their fathers’ houses, and eight heads of their fathers’ houses among the sons of Ithamar. 5 Thus they were divided by lot, one group as another, for there were officials of the sanctuary and officials of the house of God, from the sons of Eleazar and from the sons of Ithamar. 6 And the scribe, Shemaiah the son of Nethanel, one of the Levites, wrote them down before the king, the leaders, Zadok the priest, Ahimelech the son of Abiathar, and the heads of the fathers’ houses of the priests and Levites, one father’s house taken for Eleazar and one for Ithamar.
7 Now the first lot fell to Jehoiarib, the second to Jedaiah, 8 the third to Harim, the fourth to Seorim, 9 the fifth to Malchijah, the sixth to Mijamin, 10 the seventh to Hakkoz, the eighth to (D)Abijah, 11 the ninth to Jeshua, the tenth to Shecaniah, 12 the eleventh to Eliashib, the twelfth to Jakim, 13 the thirteenth to Huppah, the fourteenth to Jeshebeab, 14 the fifteenth to Bilgah, the sixteenth to Immer, 15 the seventeenth to Hezir, the eighteenth to [a]Happizzez, 16 the nineteenth to Pethahiah, the twentieth to [b]Jehezekel, 17 the twenty-first to Jachin, the twenty-second to Gamul, 18 the twenty-third to Delaiah, the twenty-fourth to Maaziah.
19 This was the schedule of their service (E)for coming into the house of the Lord according to their ordinance by the hand of Aaron their father, as the Lord God of Israel had commanded him.
Other Levites
20 And the rest of the sons of Levi: of the sons of Amram, [c]Shubael; of the sons of Shubael, Jehdeiah. 21 Concerning (F)Rehabiah, of the sons of Rehabiah, the first was Isshiah. 22 Of the Izharites, [d]Shelomoth; of the sons of Shelomoth, Jahath. 23 Of the sons [e]of (G)Hebron, Jeriah was the first, Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third, and Jekameam the fourth. 24 Of the sons of Uzziel, Michah; of the sons of Michah, Shamir. 25 The brother of Michah, Isshiah; of the sons of Isshiah, Zechariah. 26 (H)The sons of Merari were Mahli and Mushi; the son of Jaaziah, Beno. 27 The sons of Merari by Jaaziah were Beno, Shoham, Zaccur, and Ibri. 28 Of Mahli: Eleazar, (I)who had no sons. 29 Of Kish: the son of Kish, Jerahmeel.
30 Also (J)the sons of Mushi were Mahli, Eder, and Jerimoth. These were the sons of the Levites according to their fathers’ houses.
31 These also cast lots just as their brothers the sons of Aaron did, in the presence of King David, Zadok, Ahimelech, and the heads of the fathers’ houses of the priests and Levites. The chief fathers did just as their younger brethren.

24 These were the divisions of the sons of Aaron. The sons of Aaron: Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar. 2 But Nadab and Abihu died before their father, and had no children; therefore Eleazar and Ithamar served as priests. 3 David, with Zadok of the sons of Eleazar and Ahimelech of the sons of Ithamar, divided them according to their ordering in their service. 4 There were more chief men found of the sons of Eleazar than of the sons of Ithamar; and they were divided like this: of the sons of Eleazar there were sixteen, heads of fathers’ houses; and of the sons of Ithamar, according to their fathers’ houses, eight. 5 Thus they were divided impartially by drawing lots; for there were princes of the sanctuary and princes of God, both of the sons of Eleazar, and of the sons of Ithamar. 6 Shemaiah the son of Nethanel the scribe, who was of the Levites, wrote them in the presence of the king, the princes, Zadok the priest, Ahimelech the son of Abiathar, and the heads of the fathers’ households of the priests and of the Levites; one fathers’ house being taken for Eleazar, and one taken for Ithamar.
7 Now the first lot came out to Jehoiarib, the second to Jedaiah, 8 the third to Harim, the fourth to Seorim, 9 the fifth to Malchijah, the sixth to Mijamin, 10 the seventh to Hakkoz, the eighth to Abijah, 11 the ninth to Jeshua, the tenth to Shecaniah, 12 the eleventh to Eliashib, the twelfth to Jakim, 13 the thirteenth to Huppah, the fourteenth to Jeshebeab, 14 the fifteenth to Bilgah, the sixteenth to Immer, 15 the seventeenth to Hezir, the eighteenth to Happizzez, 16 the nineteenth to Pethahiah, the twentieth to Jehezkel, 17 the twenty-first to Jachin, the twenty-second to Gamul, 18 the twenty-third to Delaiah, and the twenty-fourth to Maaziah. 19 This was their ordering in their service, to come into Yahweh’s house according to the ordinance given to them by Aaron their father, as Yahweh, the God of Israel, had commanded him.
20 Of the rest of the sons of Levi: of the sons of Amram, Shubael; of the sons of Shubael, Jehdeiah. 21 Of Rehabiah: of the sons of Rehabiah, Isshiah the chief. 22 Of the Izharites, Shelomoth; of the sons of Shelomoth, Jahath. 23 The sons of Hebron: Jeriah, Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third, and Jekameam the fourth. 24 The sons of Uzziel: Micah; of the sons of Micah, Shamir. 25 The brother of Micah: Isshiah; of the sons of Isshiah, Zechariah. 26 The sons of Merari: Mahli and Mushi. The son of Jaaziah: Beno. 27 The sons of Merari by Jaaziah: Beno, Shoham, Zaccur, and Ibri. 28 Of Mahli: Eleazar, who had no sons. 29 Of Kish, the son of Kish: Jerahmeel. 30 The sons of Mushi: Mahli, Eder, and Jerimoth. These were the sons of the Levites after their fathers’ houses. 31 These likewise cast lots even as their brothers the sons of Aaron in the presence of David the king, Zadok, Ahimelech, and the heads of the fathers’ households of the priests and of the Levites, the fathers’ households of the chief even as those of his younger brother.
