1 CHRONICLES 9:22 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
1 Chr 9:211 Chr 9:23
All these which were chosen to be porters in the gates were two hundred and twelve. These were reckoned by their genealogy in their villages, whom David and Samuel the seer did ordain in their set office.
The enumeration of gatekeepers chosen by genealogy for their positions demonstrates the principle that genealogical status determined cultic authority and temple responsibilities. The genealogical method of selecting gatekeepers ensures that only legitimate individuals served in these crucial positions. The careful enumeration of gatekeeper genealogy indicates the theological importance of maintaining genealogical accuracy for temple administration. The reference to genealogy-based selection of gatekeepers demonstrates the principle that authority and responsibility derived from genealogical legitimacy. The detailed genealogical recording of gatekeepers contributes to the Chronicler's effort to establish genealogical foundations for all post-exilic institutions.
