Les groupes de service des prêtres
24 Les descendants d’Aaron furent répartis en classes d’après les fils d’Aaron : Nadab, Abihou, Eléazar et Itamar. 2 Nadab et Abihou étaient morts avant leur père, et sans laisser de fils. Eléazar et Itamar avaient exercé les fonctions sacerdotales[a]. 3 Plus tard, David, assisté de Tsadoq de la lignée d’Eléazar et d’Ahimélek de la lignée d’Itamar, répartit les descendants d’Aaron en diverses classes suivant les services dont ils étaient chargés.
4 On constata que les chefs étaient plus nombreux parmi les descendants d’Eléazar que parmi ceux d’Itamar. C’est pourquoi les descendants d’Eléazar furent répartis en seize chefs de groupe familial et ceux d’Itamar en huit chefs de groupe familial. 5 La répartition des uns et des autres se fit par tirage au sort car il y avait des responsables du lieu saint et des responsables du service de Dieu, aussi bien parmi les descendants d’Eléazar que parmi ceux d’Itamar. 6 Le secrétaire Shemaya, fils de Netanéel de la tribu de Lévi, les inscrivit en présence du roi, des chefs, du prêtre Tsadoq, d’Ahimélek, fils d’Abiatar, et des chefs des groupes familiaux des prêtres et des lévites. On prenait alternativement un groupe familial pour Eléazar et un autre pour Itamar.
7 Voici dans quel ordre les chefs de groupe familial furent désignés par tirage au sort : 1. Yehoyarib, 2. Yedaeya, 8 3. Harim, 4. Seorim, 9 5. Malkiya, 6. Miyamîn, 10 7. Haqqots, 8. Abiya, 11 9. Josué, 10. Shekanya, 12 11. Eliashib, 12. Yaqim, 13 13. Houppa, 14. Yéshébeab, 14 15. Bilga, 16. Immer, 15 17. Hézir, 18. Happitsets, 16 19. Petahya, 20. Ezéchiel, 17 21. Yakîn, 22. Gamoul, 18 23. Delaya, 24. Maazia.
19 C’est selon cet ordre que les groupes prenaient leur service pour entrer dans le temple de l’Eternel, ils y accomplissaient leur tâche conformément à la règle établie par leur ancêtre Aaron, selon ce que lui avait ordonné l’Eternel, le Dieu d’Israël.
Les autres descendants de Lévi
20 Voici les noms des autres chefs de groupe familial des descendants de Lévi : Shoubaël pour les descendants d’Amram, Yéhdeya pour ceux de Shoubaël, 21 Yishiya pour les descendants de Rehabia, 22 Shelomoth pour les Yitseharites, Yahath pour les descendants de Shelomoth. 23 Les fils de Hébron : Yeriya, le premier[b], Amaria, le deuxième, Yahaziel, le troisième, Yeqameam, le quatrième. 24 Shamir, pour les descendants de Michée, fils d’Ouzziel. 25 Zacharie pour ceux de Yishiya, frère de Michée. 26 Les fils de Merari : Mahli et Moushi, et les fils de Yaaziya, son fils. 27 Les descendants de Merari par Yaaziya, son fils : Shoham, Zakkour et Ibri. 28 Pour Mahli : Eléazar qui n’eut pas de fils. 29 Pour Qish, son fils Yerahméel. 30 Les fils de Moushi : Mahli, Eder et Yerimoth. Ce sont là les descendants des lévites selon leurs groupes familiaux. 31 Eux aussi, comme leurs frères, les descendants d’Aaron, recoururent au tirage au sort en présence du roi David, de Tsadoq, d’Ahimélek et des chefs des groupes familiaux des prêtres et des lévites. Ainsi les groupes familiaux étaient tous sur le même plan, celui d’un aîné comme celui du plus jeune.

The Divisions of the Priests
24 The divisions of the descendants of Aaron were as follows: Aaron’s sons were Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.(A) 2 But Nadab and Abihu died before their father, and they had no sons, so Eleazar and Ithamar served as priests.(B) 3 Together with Zadok(C) from the descendants of Eleazar and Ahimelech from the descendants of Ithamar, David divided them according to the assigned duties of their service. 4 Since more leaders were found among Eleazar’s descendants than Ithamar’s, they were divided accordingly: sixteen heads of ancestral families[a] were from Eleazar’s descendants, and eight heads of ancestral families were from Ithamar’s. 5 They(D) were assigned by lot, for there were officers of the sanctuary and officers of God among both Eleazar’s and Ithamar’s descendants.
6 The secretary, Shemaiah son of Nethanel, a Levite, recorded them in the presence of the king and the officers, the priest Zadok, Ahimelech(E) son of Abiathar, and the heads of families of the priests and the Levites. One ancestral family[b] was taken for Eleazar, and then one for Ithamar.
7 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 Abijah,(F)
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 These had their assigned duties for service when they entered the Lord’s temple, according to their regulations, which they received from their ancestor Aaron, as the Lord God of Israel had commanded him.

The Divisions of Priests
24 These were the divisions(A) of the descendants of Aaron:(B)
The sons of Aaron were Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar.(C) 2 But Nadab and Abihu died before their father did,(D) and they had no sons; so Eleazar and Ithamar served as the priests. 3 With the help of Zadok(E) a descendant of Eleazar and Ahimelek a descendant of Ithamar, David separated them into divisions for their appointed order of ministering. 4 A larger number of leaders were found among Eleazar’s descendants than among Ithamar’s, and they were divided accordingly: sixteen heads of families from Eleazar’s descendants and eight heads of families from Ithamar’s descendants. 5 They divided them impartially by casting lots,(F) for there were officials of the sanctuary and officials of God among the descendants of both Eleazar and Ithamar.
6 The scribe Shemaiah son of Nethanel, a Levite, recorded their names in the presence of the king and of the officials: Zadok the priest, Ahimelek(G) son of Abiathar and the heads of families of the priests and of the Levites—one family being taken from Eleazar and then one from Ithamar.
7 The first lot fell to Jehoiarib,
the second to Jedaiah,(H)
8 the third to Harim,(I)
the fourth to Seorim,
9 the fifth to Malkijah,
the sixth to Mijamin,
10 the seventh to Hakkoz,
the eighth to Abijah,(J)
11 the ninth to Jeshua,
the tenth to Shekaniah,
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,(K)
15 the seventeenth to Hezir,(L)
the eighteenth to Happizzez,
16 the nineteenth to Pethahiah,
the twentieth to Jehezkel,
17 the twenty-first to Jakin,
the twenty-second to Gamul,
18 the twenty-third to Delaiah
and the twenty-fourth to Maaziah.
19 This was their appointed order of ministering when they entered the temple of the Lord, according to the regulations prescribed for them by their ancestor Aaron, as the Lord, the God of Israel, had commanded him.

The families of the oldest brother were treated the same as those of the youngest.
