"And he sent them to Lebanon, ten thousand a month in shifts; a month they were in Lebanon and two months at home; and Adoniram was in charge of the levy." — The *rotating shifts*: *aseret alef ba-chadesh be-tagbor...chadesh be-Levanon u-shnay chadashim be-bayto* (ten thousand a month in shifts; a month in Lebanon and two months at home). The *rotation system* (*tagbor*, shifts or courses) distributes burden: *one month laboring, two months home*. Adoniram (*'Adoniram*), the *master of forced labor* (*over the levy*), administers the system.
