1
Phonetic (Hebrew): velibene֥y 'aharo֖n macheleqota֑m bּene֣y 'aharo֔n nadab֙ va'abiyh֔u 'ele'aza֖r ve'iytamaֽr׃
Edified Edition (EDE)Now these are the divisions of the sons of Aaron. The sons of Aaron were Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.

וְלִבְנֵ֥י אַהֲרֹ֖ן מַחְלְקוֹתָ֑ם בְּנֵ֣י אַהֲרֹ֔ן נָדָב֙ וַאֲבִיה֔וּא אֶלְעָזָ֖ר וְאִיתָמָֽר׃

Edified Edition (EDE)But Nadab and Abihu died before their father, and had no children; therefore Eleazar and Ithamar served as priests.

וַיָּ֨מָת נָדָ֤ב וַאֲבִיהוּא֙ לִפְנֵ֣י אֲבִיהֶ֔ם וּבָנִ֖ים לֹא־הָי֣וּ לָהֶ֑ם וַֽיְכַהֲנ֔וּ אֶלְעָזָ֖ר וְאִיתָמָֽר׃

Edified Edition (EDE)And there were more chief men found among the sons of Eleazar than among the sons of Ithamar; and so they were divided. Among the sons of Eleazar there were sixteen heads of their father’s houses, and eight among the sons of Ithamar according to their father’s houses.

וַיִּמָּצְא֣וּ בְֽנֵי־אֶלְעָזָ֡ר רַבִּ֞ים לְרָאשֵׁ֧י הַגְּבָרִ֛ים מִן־בְּנֵ֥י אִיתָמָ֖ר וַֽיַּחְלְק֑וּם לִבְנֵ֨י אֶלְעָזָ֜ר רָאשִׁ֤ים לְבֵית־אָבוֹת֙ שִׁשָּׁ֣ה עָשָׂ֔ר וְלִבְנֵ֧י אִיתָמָ֛ר לְבֵ֥ית אֲבוֹתָ֖ם שְׁמוֹנָֽה׃

Edified Edition (EDE)Thus they were divided by lot, one alongside another; for the officials of the sanctuary and the officials of the house of God were from the sons of Eleazar and from the sons of Ithamar.
