Notes

1 Chronicles 24:1–2

The priests were organized into divisions for service, starting with Aaron’s sons, Eleazar and Ithamar. All of Israel’s priests came from these two men.

1 Chronicles 24:1–19

The information about the priests’ duties only covers their organization into orders and how they assign responsibilities by casting lots. The Chronicler does not explain their duties because these were well established long ago (see Exodus 28:1–5; Leviticus 1–7; Numbers 6:22–27).
