祭司的職務
24 下面是亞倫子孫的班次。亞倫的兒子是拿答、亞比戶、以利亞撒、以他瑪。 2 拿答和亞比戶比父親先死，而且沒有留下兒子，因此以利亞撒和以他瑪做了祭司。 3 在以利亞撒的子孫撒督和以他瑪的子孫亞希米勒的協助下，大衛將亞倫的子孫分成班次，讓他們各司其職。 4 以利亞撒的子孫中做首領的比以他瑪的子孫中做首領的多，他們被分成班次，以利亞撒的子孫中有十六個族長，以他瑪的子孫中有八個族長。 5 因為以利亞撒的子孫中和以他瑪的子孫中都有人在聖所做首領事奉上帝，他們便用抽籤的方法公平地分班，分別在以利亞撒和以他瑪家族中抽籤。 6 利未人拿坦業的兒子示瑪雅是書記。他在君王、首領、撒督祭司、亞比亞他的兒子亞希米勒、眾祭司和利未人的族長面前把抽出的名字記錄下來。
7 第一籤抽出來的是耶何雅立，第二籤是耶大雅， 8 第三籤是哈琳，第四籤是梭琳， 9 第五籤是瑪基雅，第六籤是米雅民， 10 第七籤是哈歌斯，第八籤是亞比雅， 11 第九籤是耶書亞，第十籤是示迦尼， 12 第十一籤是以利亞實，第十二籤是雅金， 13 第十三籤是胡巴，第十四籤是耶是比押， 14 第十五籤是璧迦，第十六籤是音麥， 15 第十七籤是希悉，第十八籤是哈辟悉， 16 第十九籤是毗他希雅，第二十籤是以西結， 17 第二十一籤是雅斤，第二十二籤是迦末， 18 第二十三籤是第來雅，第二十四籤是瑪西亞。 19 他們照這班次，按以色列的上帝耶和華藉他們的祖先亞倫所定的條例，在耶和華的殿裡司職。
20 其他的利未人還有暗蘭的後代書巴業，書巴業的後裔耶希底亞， 21 利哈比雅的長子伊示雅， 22 以斯哈的後代示羅摩，示羅摩的後代雅哈， 23 希伯崙的長子耶利雅、次子亞瑪利亞、三子雅哈悉、四子耶加緬， 24 烏薛的後代米迦，米迦的後代沙密， 25 米迦的弟兄伊示雅，伊示雅的後代撒迦利雅， 26 米拉利的兒子抹利、姆示、雅西雅，雅西雅的兒子比挪， 27 米拉利的後代雅西雅的兒子比挪、朔含、撒刻、伊比利， 28 抹利的兒子以利亞撒——以利亞撒沒有兒子， 29 基士的後代耶拉篾， 30 姆示的兒子末力、以得、耶利摩。這些按宗族都是利未人的後代。 31 他們也在大衛王、撒督、亞希米勒、眾祭司和利未人的族長面前抽籤，不分長幼，正如他們的親族亞倫的後代所做的一樣。

Rules for the priests
24 Aaron's descendants, the priests, were in the following groups.
Aaron's four sons were: Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar. 2 But Nadab and Abihu died before their father died. They had no sons. So Eleazar and Ithamar served God as priests.
3 Zadok and Ahimelech helped David to put Aaron's descendants into groups. Zadok was a descendant of Eleazar. Ahimelech was a descendant of Ithamar. They told each group what their work would be to serve God. 4 There were more leaders among Eleazar's descendants than among Ithamar's descendants. So from Eleazar's descendants, there were 16 groups with their leaders. From Ithamar's descendants there were eight groups with their leaders. 5 They used lots to decide the work of each group. The families of both Eleazar and Ithamar included officers for the temple as well as priests.
6 Shemaiah was the secretary who wrote down the names in each group. He was the son of Nethanel, a Levite. Shemaiah wrote down the names while the king and his officers watched. Zadok the priest, Abiathar's son Ahimelech and the leaders of the priests' clans and of the other Levite clans were also watching. When they threw the lots, they would choose a family from Eleazar's descendants, then a family from Ithamar's descendants, and so on.
7-18 This is the list of the group leaders as they chose them, one by one:
1. Jehoiarib
2. Jedaiah
3. Harim
4. Seorim
5. Malkijah
6. Mijamin
7. Hakkoz
8. Abijah
9. Jeshua
10. Shecaniah
11. Eliashib
12. Jakim
13. Huppah
14. Jeshebeab
15. Bilgah
16. Immer
17. Hezir
18. Happizzez
19. Pethahiah
20. Jehezkel
21. Jakin
22. Gamul
23. Delaiah
24. Maaziah.
19 Each of these leaders, with their group, had their jobs to do in the temple. They had to obey the rules that their ancestor Aaron had given. The Lord, Israel's God, had told him what they must do.
The other Levites
20 The leaders of the other Levite families included:[a]
Shubael, from Amram's descendants.
Jehdeiah, from Shubael's descendants.
21 From Rehabiah's descendants: Isshiah, the firstborn son.
22 From Izhar's descendants: Shelomoth.
From Shelomoth's descendants: Jahath.
23 Hebron's four sons were: Jeriah, the firstborn son, then Amariah, the second son, Jahaziel, the third son, and Jekameam, the fourth son.
24 Uzziel's son Micah and his son Shamir.
25 Micah's brother Isshiah and his son Zechariah.
26 Merari's sons were: Mahli, Mushi and Jaaziah.
27 Merari's descendants by his son Jaaziah were: Beno, Shoham, Zaccur and Ibri.
28 Mahli's son Eleazar had no sons.
29 Kish's son was Jerahmeel.
30 Mushi's sons were: Mahli, Eder and Jerimoth.
That is the list of the Levites, with the leaders of each family.
31 They also used lots to choose their different jobs, as their relatives, Aaron's descendants, had done. King David, Zadok, Ahimelech and the family leaders of the priests and the other Levites watched them. They chose work for the family leaders in the same way that they did for their younger brothers.
