1 Cronache 24
Nuova Riveduta 2006
I sacerdoti divisi in ventiquattro classi
24 (A)Le classi dei figli di Aaronne furono queste. I figli di Aaronne furono: Nadab, Abiu, Eleazar e Ita-mar. 2 Nadab e Abiu morirono prima del loro padre e non ebbero figli; Eleazar e Itamar esercitarono il sacerdozio.
3 Davide, con Sadoc dei figli di Eleazar e con Aimelec dei figli d’Itamar, classificò i figli di Aaronne secondo il servizio che dovevano fare. 4 Tra i figli di Eleazar si trovarono più capi di famiglie che tra i figli d’Itamar; e furono divisi così: per i figli di Eleazar, sedici capi di famiglie patriarcali; per i figli di Itamar, otto capi delle loro famiglie patriarcali. 5 La classificazione fu fatta a sorte, tanto per gli uni quanto per gli altri; perché c’erano dei prìncipi del santuario e dei prìncipi di Dio sia tra i figli di Eleazar sia tra i figli d’Itamar. 6 Semaia, figlio di Natanael, il segretario, che era della tribù di Levi, li iscrisse in presenza del re e dei prìncipi, in presenza del sacerdote Sadoc, di Aimelec, figlio di Abiatar, e in presenza dei capi delle famiglie patriarcali dei sacerdoti e dei Leviti. Si tirò a sorte una casa patriarcale per Eleazar e, proporzionalmente, per Itamar.
7 Il primo designato dalla sorte fu Ieoiarib; il secondo, Iedaia; 8 il terzo, Carim; il quarto, Seorim; 9 il quinto, Malchia; il sesto, Miiamin; 10 il settimo, Accos; l’ottavo, Abiia; 11 il nono, Iesua; il decimo, Secania; 12 l’undicesimo, Eliasib; il dodicesimo, Iachim; 13 il tredicesimo, Cuppa; il quattordicesimo, Iesebeab; 14 il quindicesimo, Bilga; il sedicesimo, Immer; 15 il diciassettesimo, Chezir; il diciottesimo, Appises; 16 il diciannovesimo, Petaia; il ventesimo, Ezechiele; 17 il ventunesimo, Iachin; il ventiduesimo, Gamul; 18 il ventitreesimo, Delaia; il ventiquattresimo, Maazia.
19 Così furono classificati per il loro servizio, affinché entrassero nella casa del Signore secondo la regola stabilita per loro da Aaronne loro padre e che il Signore, Dio d’Israele, gli aveva prescritta.
Classificazione degli altri discendenti di Levi
20 (B)Quanto al rimanente dei figli di Levi, questi ne furono i capi. Dei figli di Amram: Subael; dei figli di Subael: Iedia. 21 Di Reabia, dei figli di Reabia: il capo Isia. 22 Degli Iseariti: Selomot; dei figli di Selomot: Iaat. 23 Figli di Ebron[a]: Ieriia, Amaria il secondo, Iaaziel il terzo, Iecameam il quarto. 24 Figli di Uzziel: Mica; dei figli di Mica: Samir; 25 fratello di Mica: Isia; dei figli d’Isia: Zaccaria. 26 Figli di Merari: Mali e Musi, e i figli di Iaazia, suo figlio, 27 vale a dire i figli di Merari, per il tramite di Iaazia suo figlio: Soam, Zaccur e Ibri. 28 Di Mali: Eleazar, che non ebbe figli. 29 Di Chis, i figli di Chis: Ierameel. 30 I figli di Musi: Mali, Eder e Ierimot. Questi sono i figli dei Leviti secondo le loro case patriarcali. 31 Anch’essi come i figli di Aaronne, loro fratelli, tirarono a sorte in presenza del re Davide, di Sadoc, di Aimelec e dei capi delle famiglie patriarcali dei sacerdoti e dei Leviti. Ogni capo di famiglia patriarcale tirò a sorte, nello stesso modo del fratello più giovane di lui.

Divisions of the priests
24 The divisions of the Aaronites:
Aaron’s family: Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
2 Nadab and Abihu died before their father did, without having sons, and so Eleazar and Ithamar served as priests. 3 David, with the help of Zadok from Eleazar’s family and Ahimelech from Ithamar’s family, divided them according to their appointed duties. 4 Since Eleazar’s family was found to have more male heads than Ithamar’s family, they divided them so that Eleazar’s family had sixteen household heads and Ithamar’s family had eight. 5 They divided both groups by lots because there were holy leaders, even outstanding leaders, among both Eleazar’s and Ithamar’s descendants. 6 Shemaiah, Nethanel’s son, the levitical scribe, recorded their names in the presence of the king; the leaders; Zadok the priest; Ahimelech, Abiathar’s son; and the household heads of the priests and Levites. One household was taken from Eleazar followed by one from 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,
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 were to enter the Lord’s temple according to their appointed duty and by the procedure established for them by their ancestor Aaron, just as the Lord God of Israel had instructed him.
Rest of the Levites
20 The rest of the Levites included:
from Amram’s family: Shubael;
from Shubael’s family: Jehdeiah;
21 from Rehabiah and his family: Isshiah the first;
22 from the Izharites: Shelomoth;
from Shelomoth’s family: Jahath;
23 Hebron’s family:[a] Jeriah the first,[b] Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third, Jekameam the fourth;
24 Uzziel’s family: Micah;
from Micah’s family: Shamir;
25 Micah’s brother Isshiah;
from Isshiah’s family: Zechariah;
26 Merari’s family: Mahli, Mushi and his son Jaaziah’s family;
27 Merari’s family by his son Jaaziah: Shoham, Zaccur, and Ibri;
28 from Mahli: Eleazar, who had no sons;
29 from Kish and his family: Jerahmeel;
30 and Mushi’s family: Mahli, Eder, and Jerimoth.
These were the Levites according to their households. 31 Both the household head and his youngest brother cast lots, just as their relatives, Aaron’s descendants, had done in the presence of King David, Zadok, Ahimelech, and the heads of the priestly and levitical households.

24 Now these are the divisions of the sons of Aaron. The sons of Aaron; Nadab, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
2 But Nadab and Abihu died before their father, and had no children: therefore Eleazar and Ithamar executed the priest's office.
3 And David distributed them, both Zadok of the sons of Eleazar, and Ahimelech of the sons of Ithamar, according to their offices in their service.
4 And there were more chief men found of the sons of Eleazar than of the sons of Ithamar, and thus were they divided. Among the sons of Eleazar there were sixteen chief men of the house of their fathers, and eight among the sons of Ithamar according to the house of their fathers.
5 Thus were they divided by lot, one sort with another; for the governors of the sanctuary, and governors of the house of God, were of the sons of Eleazar, and of the sons of Ithamar.
6 And Shemaiah the son of Nethaneel the scribe, one of the Levites, wrote them before the king, and the princes, and Zadok the priest, and Ahimelech the son of Abiathar, and before the chief of the fathers of the priests and Levites: one principal household being taken for Eleazar, and one taken for Ithamar.
7 Now the first lot came forth 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 Jeshuah, 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 Aphses,
16 The nineteenth to Pethahiah, the twentieth to Jehezekel,
17 The one and twentieth to Jachin, the two and twentieth to Gamul,
18 The three and twentieth to Delaiah, the four and twentieth to Maaziah.
19 These were the orderings of them in their service to come into the house of the Lord, according to their manner, under Aaron their father, as the Lord God of Israel had commanded him.
20 And the rest of the sons of Levi were these: Of the sons of Amram; Shubael: of the sons of Shubael; Jehdeiah.
21 Concerning Rehabiah: of the sons of Rehabiah, the first was Isshiah.
22 Of the Izharites; Shelomoth: of the sons of Shelomoth; Jahath.
23 And the sons of Hebron; Jeriah the first, Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third, Jekameam the fourth.
24 Of the sons of Uzziel; Michah: of the sons of Michah; Shamir.
25 The brother of Michah was Isshiah: of the sons of Isshiah; Zechariah.
26 The sons of Merari were Mahli and Mushi: the sons of Jaaziah; Beno.
27 The sons of Merari by Jaaziah; Beno, and Shoham, and Zaccur, and Ibri.
28 Of Mahli came Eleazar, who had no sons.
29 Concerning Kish: the son of Kish was Jerahmeel.
30 The sons also of Mushi; Mahli, and Eder, and Jerimoth. These were the sons of the Levites after the house of their fathers.
31 These likewise cast lots over against their brethren the sons of Aaron in the presence of David the king, and Zadok, and Ahimelech, and the chief of the fathers of the priests and Levites, even the principal fathers over against their younger brethren.

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.
