ગુજરાતી1 કાળવૃતાંત ૨૪:૪
એલાઝારના પુત્રોમાં, ઈથામારના પુત્રો કરતાં મુખ્ય પુરુષો સંખ્યામાં વધારે હતા, તેથી એલાઝારના પુત્રોના સોળ વર્ગ પાડવામાં આવ્યાં. ઈથામારના પુત્રોનાં કુટુંબોના આઠ મુખ્ય પુરુષો હતા, માટે તેઓના આઠ વર્ગ પાડવામાં આવ્યા.
हिन्दी1 इतिहास २४:४
एलीआजर के वंश के मुख्य पुरुष, ईतामार के वंश के मुख्य पुरुषों से अधिक थे, और वे ऐसे बाँटे गए: अर्थात् एलीआजर के वंश के पितरों के घरानों के सोलह, और ईतामार के वंश के पितरों के घरानों के आठ मुख्य पुरुष थे।

In context

2But Nadab and Abihu died before their father, and had no children; therefore Eleazar and Ithamar served as priests.

3David, with Zadok of the sons of Eleazar and Ahimelech of the sons of Ithamar, divided them according to their ordering in their service.

4There were more chief men found of the sons of Eleazar than of the sons of Ithamar; and they were divided like this: of the sons of Eleazar there were sixteen, heads of fathers’ houses; and of the sons of Ithamar, according to their fathers’ houses, eight.

5Thus they were divided impartially by drawing lots; for there were princes of the sanctuary and princes of God, both of the sons of Eleazar, and of the sons of Ithamar.

6Shemaiah the son of Nethanel the scribe, who was of the Levites, wrote them in the presence of the king, the princes, Zadok the priest, Ahimelech the son of Abiathar, and the heads of the fathers’ households of the priests and of the Levites; one fathers’ house being taken for Eleazar, and one taken for Ithamar.
