5 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. 6 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.
6 Scemaia, figliuolo di Nathaneel, il segretario, ch’era della tribù di Levi, li iscrisse in presenza del re e dei principi, in presenza del sacerdote Tsadok, di Ahimelec, figliuolo di Ebiathar, e in presenza dei capi delle famiglie patriarcali dei sacerdoti e dei Leviti. Si tirò a sorte una casa patriarcale per Eleazar, e, proporzionalmente, per Ithamar.
