Første Krønikebog 24
1 Arons Sønner, delte i Skifter, var: Arons Sønner Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar og Itamar;
These are the groups of the descendants of Aaron [the first Supreme Priest]: Aaron’s four sons were Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
2 Nadab og Abihu døde før deres Fader uden at efterlade sig Sønner, men Eleazar og Itamar fik Præsteværdigheden.
But Nadab and Abihu died before their father died, and they had no children. So their [younger] brothers Eleazar and Ithamar became the priests.
3 David tillige med Zadok af Eleazars Sønner og Ahimelek af Itamars Sønner inddelte dem efter deres Embedsskifter ved deres Tjeneste.
Zadok, who was a descendant of Eleazar, and Ahimelech, who was a descendant of Ithamar, helped David to separate his descendants into two groups. Each group had certain duties.
4 Og da det viste sig, at Eleazars Sønner havde flere Overhoveder end Itamars, delte de dem saaledes, at Eleazars Sønner fik seksten Overhoveder over deres Fædrenehuse. Itamars Sønner otte.
There were more leaders among the descendants of Eleazar than there were among the descendants of Ithamar. So they appointed 16 leaders from Eleazar’s descendants and eight leaders from Ithamar’s descendants.
5 Og de delte, begge Hold ved Lodkastning, thi der fandtes hellige Øverster og Guds Øverster baade iblandt Eleazars og Itamars Sønner.
There were temple officials and priests, including descendants of both Eleazar and Ithamar, to make sure that the work was divided fairly. So they decided what work each person would do by (casting lots/throwing marked stones).
6 Skriveren Sjemaja, Netan'els Søn af Levis Slægt, optegnede dem i Paasyn af Kongen, Øversterne, Præsten Zadok, Ahimelek, Ebjatars Søn, og Overhovederne for Præsternes og Leviternes Fædrenehuse. Der udtoges eet Fædrenehus af Itamar for hvert to af Eleazar.
Shemaiah, the son of Nethanel, who was a descendant of Levi, wrote down the names [of the leaders of each group] while David and his officials were watching. Zadok, the [Supreme] Priest, and Ahimelech [his assistant], and the leaders of the families of the priests and of the families of the other descendants of Levi also watched.

19 Det var deres Embedsskifter ved deres Tjeneste, naar de gik ind i HERRENS Hus, efter den Forpligtelse deres Fader Aron paalagde dem, efter hvad HERREN, Israels Gud, havde paalagt ham.
Those were the men who were chosen to be the leaders of the groups that would serve in the temple, obeying the regulations that were set down by Aaron, regulations which Yahweh, the God to whom the Israeli people belonged, had given to him.

31 Ogsaa de kastede Lod ligesom deres Brødre, Arons Sønner, i Paasyn af Kong David, Zadok og Ahimelek og Overhovederne for Præsternes og Leviternes Fædrenehuse — Fædrenehusenes Overhoveder ligesom deres yngste Brødre.
The jobs they would do were decided by (casting lots/throwing marked stones), like their fellow Israelis, the descendants of Aaron, did. They cast lots {The lots were cast} while King David, Zadok, Ahimelech, and the leaders of the families of the priests and the [other] descendants of Levi watched. They gave the same jobs to the families of each oldest brother and each youngest brother.
