24:1 These were the divisions of the sons of Aaron. The sons of
Aaron: Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar.

sons of Ithamar, divided them according to their ordering in their

were they divided: of the sons of Eleazar there were sixteen, heads
of fathers' houses; and of the sons of Ithamar, according to their
fathers' houses, eight.

were princes of the sanctuary, and princes of God, both of the sons
of Eleazar, and of the sons of Ithamar.

24:6 Shemaiah the son of Nethanel the scribe, who was of the
Levites, wrote them in the presence of the king, and the princes, and

the fathers' houses
