1 Harunoğulları'nın bağlı oldukları bölükler: Harun'un oğulları: Nadav, Avihu, Elazar, İtamar.
These are the groups of the descendants of Aaron [the first Supreme Priest]: Aaron’s four sons were Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
2 Nadav'la Avihu babalarından önce, oğul sahibi olamadan öldüler. Onun için Elazar'la İtamar kâhinlik yaptılar.
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 Davut Elazar soyundan Sadok'la İtamar soyundan Ahimelek'in yardımıyla Harunoğulları'nı yaptıkları göreve göre bölüklere ayırdı.

4 Elazaroğulları arasında İtamaroğulları'ndan daha çok önder olduğundan, buna göre bölündüler: Elazaroğulları'ndan on altı boy başı, İtamaroğulları'ndan ise sekiz boy başı çıktı.
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 Gerek Elazaroğulları, gerekse İtamaroğulları arasında kutsal yerden ve Tanrı'yla ilgili hizmetlerden sorumlu önderler vardı. Bu yüzden atanmaları kayırılmaksızın kurayla yapıldı.
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).
