24:1-19 The information about the priests’ duties includes only their organization into orders and the assignment of their responsibilities by casting lots. The Chronicler does not explain their duties because they had long been solidly established (see Exod 28:1-5; Lev 1–7; Num 6:22-27). 24:1-2 The organization of the priests into their divisions for service began with Aaron’s sons Eleazar and Ithamar; all of Israel’s priests were descended from these two men.
