會沙加理依其班次、供職主前。

Once when Zechariah’s division was on duty and he was serving as priest before God,

One day Zechariah’s group was on duty. He was serving as a priest in God’s temple.

Now while he was serving as priest before God when his division was on duty,

One day Zechariah was serving God in the Temple, for his order was on duty that week.

When his division was on duty and he was serving as priest before God,

Now it happened that while he was performing his priestly service before God in the appointed order of his division,

So it was, that while he was serving as priest before God in the order of his division,

Now it came to pass, while he executed the priest’s office before God in the order of his course,

When his division was on duty and he was serving as priest before God,

And it came to pass, that while he executed the priest’s office before God in the order of his course,

Now while he executed the priest’s office before God in the order of his division,

This was the order in which they carried out their assigned responsibilities when they entered the LORD’s temple, according to the regulations given them by their ancestor Aaron, just as the LORD God of Israel had instructed him.

As his father David had decreed, Solomon appointed the divisions of the priests to do their assigned tasks, the Levitical orders to lead worship and help the priests with their daily tasks, and the divisions of the gatekeepers to serve at their assigned gates. This was what David the man of God had ordered.

Hezekiah appointed the divisions of the priests and Levites to do their assigned tasks– to offer burnt sacrifices and present offerings and to serve, give thanks, and offer praise in the gates of the LORD’s sanctuary.

During the reign of Herod king of Judea, there lived a priest named Zechariah who belonged to the priestly division of Abijah, and he had a wife named Elizabeth, who was a descendant of Aaron.

“ You are to clothe them– your brother Aaron and his sons with him– and anoint them and ordain them and set them apart as holy, so that they may minister as my priests.

They appointed the priests by their divisions and the Levites by their divisions over the worship of God at Jerusalem, in accord with the book of Moses.

The Levites even left their pasturelands and their property behind and came to Judah and Jerusalem, for Jeroboam and his sons prohibited them from serving as the LORD’s priests.

and wrap the sashes around Aaron and his sons and put headbands on them, and so the ministry of priesthood will belong to them by a perpetual ordinance. Thus you are to consecrate Aaron and his sons.

“ You are to anoint Aaron and his sons and sanctify them, so that they may minister as my priests.

But you and your sons with you are responsible for your priestly duties, for everything at the altar and within the curtain. And you must serve. I give you the priesthood as a gift for service; but the unauthorized person who approaches must be put to death.”

“ Now this is what you are to do for them to consecrate them so that they may minister as my priests. Take a young bull and two rams without blemish;

As for the descendants of Aaron, the priests who lived in the outskirts of all their cities, men were assigned to disburse portions to every male among the priests and to every Levite listed in the genealogical records.

“ And you, bring near to you your brother Aaron and his sons with him from among the Israelites, so that they may minister as my priests– Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar, Aaron’s sons.

“ So I will set apart as holy the tent of meeting and the altar, and I will set apart as holy Aaron and his sons, that they may minister as priests to me.

Nadab and Abihu died before their father did; they had no sons. Eleazar and Ithamar served as priests.
