Thus were they divided by lot, one sort with another; for the governors of the sanctuary, and governors of the house of God, were of the sons of Eleazar, and of the sons of Ithamar.

And Shemaiah the son of Nethaneel the scribe, one of the Levites, wrote them before the king, and the princes, and Zadok the priest, and Ahimelech the son of Abiathar, and before the chief of the fathers of the priests and Levites: one principal household being taken for Eleazar, and one taken for Ithamar.

According to the lot shall the possession thereof be divided between many and few.

And they cast lots, ward against ward, as well the small as the great, the teacher as the scholar.

And they cast lots, as well the small as the great, according to the house of their fathers, for every gate.
