“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.”
The narrative notes that the divisions were assigned by lot among both the sons of Eleazar and the sons of Ithamar, ensuring impartiality in the assignment of priestly duties.
