Første Krønikebog 24
1 Men for Arons Børn vare Skifterne disse: Arons Sønner vare Nadab og Abihu, Eleasar og Ithamar.
The work groups based on Aaron's descendants were these: Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar.
2 Men Nadab og Abihu døde for deres Faders Ansigt, og de havde ingen Børn; og Eleasar og Ithamar gjorde Præstetjeneste.
Nadab and Abihu died before their father died. They had no children, so Eleazar and Ithamar served as priests.
3 Og David tillige med Zadok af Eleasars Børn og Akimelek af Ithamars Børn inddelte dem til deres Embede i deres Tjeneste.
David, together with Zadok, a descendant of Eleazar, and Ahimelech, a descendant of Ithamar, divided them into groups for their work as priests.
4 Og der blev flere fundne af Eleasars Børn, som vare Øverster for Mændene, end af Ithamars Børn, da de delte dem; af Eleasars Børn var der seksten Øverster for deres Fædrenehuse, men af Ithamars Børn for deres Fædrenehuse var der otte.
There were more leading men among Eleazar's descendants than among Ithamar's descendants, so they divided Eleazar's descendants into sixteen groups. They did this by heads of clans and by Ithamar's descendants. These divisions were eight in number, corresponding to their clans.
5 Og de inddelte dem efter Lodkastning, disse med hine; thi der havde været Helligdommens Fyrster og Guds Fyrster saavel af Eleasars Børn som af Ithamars Børn.
They divided them impartially by lot, for there were holy officials and officials of God, from both Eleazar's descendants and Ithamar's descendants.
6 Og Semaja, Nethaneels Søn, Skriveren, en af Leviterne, opskrev dem i Paasyn af Kongen og Fyrsterne, og Zadok, Præsten, og Akimelek, Abjathars Søn, og Øversterne for Fædrenehusene blandt Præsterne og Leviterne; et Fædrenehus blev udtrukket for Eleasar, et andet blev skiftevis udtrukket for Ithamar.
Shemaiah son of Nethanel the scribe, a Levite, wrote down their names in the presence of the king, the officials, Zadok the priest, Ahimelech son of Abiathar, and the leaders of the priestly and Levite families. One clan was drawn by lot from Eleazar's descendants, and then the next would be drawn from Ithamar's descendants.

19 Disses Embedsgerning var det at gaa ind i Herrens Hus, som deres Vis var, efter deres Faders, Arons, Anvisning, saaledes som Herren, Israels Gud havde budt ham.
This was the order of their service, when they came into Yahweh's house, following the procedure given to them by Aaron their ancestor, as Yahweh, the God of Israel, had instructed him.

These men who were the head of each father's house and each of their younger brothers, cast lots in the presence of King David, and Zadok and Ahimelech, along with the leaders of the families of the priests and Levites. They cast lots just as Aaron's descendants had done.
