¹³ They cast lots, the small as well as the great, according to their fathers' houses, for every gate.

¹⁴ The lot eastward fell to Shelemiah. Then for Zechariah his son, a wise counselor, they cast lots; and his lot came out northward.

¹⁵ To Obed-edom southward; and to his sons the store-house.

¹⁶ To Shuppim and Hosah westward, by the gate of Shallecheth, at the causeway that goes up, watch against watch.

¹⁷ Eastward were six Levites, northward four a day, southward four a day, and for the store-house two and two.

¹⁸ For Parbar westward, four at the causeway, and two at Parbar.

¹⁹ These were the divisions of the doorkeepers; of the sons of the Korahites, and of the sons of Merari.

⁴ This is the thing that you shall do: a third part of you, who come in on the Sabbath, of the priests and of the Levites, shall be porters of the thresholds;

⁵ and a third part shall be at the king's house; and a third part at the gate of the foundation: and all the people shall be in the courts of the house of Yahweh.
