The lots cast for every gate, according to their fathers’ houses

각 문을 지키기 위하여 종족을 따라 뽑은 제비

1 Chronicles 26:12–19: the text says, “Of these were the divisions of the doorkeepers, even of the chief men, having offices like their brothers, to minister in the LORD’s house. They cast lots, the small as well as the great, according to their fathers’ houses, for every gate.” 26:14–16 say, “The lot eastward fell to Shelemiah. Then for Zechariah his son, a wise counselor, they cast lots; and his lot came out northward. To Obed-Edom southward; and to his sons the storehouse. To Shuppim and Hosah westward, by the gate of Shallecheth, at the causeway that goes up, watchman opposite watchman.” 26:17–19 say, “Eastward were six Levites, northward four a day, southward four a day, and for the storehouse two and two. For Parbar westward, four at the causeway, and two at Parbar. These were the divisions of the doorkeepers; of the sons of the Korahites, and of the sons of Merari.” Where WEB names Parbar (26:18), the Korean Revised Version reads 낭실 (낭실 서편 큰 길에 네 사람이요 낭실에 두 사람이니); it reads 큰 길로 통한 at 26:16 where WEB reads “at the causeway that goes up”, and writes Shelemiah’s name 셀레먀 (26:14).
