lots <01486> [lots.]
leaders ............. oldest <07218> [even the principal.]
The whole company being ranged according to their families, with the proper number of divisions, the order of their courses was assigned them by lot, without respect to rank or seniority.
1 Chronicles 25:8
cast lots <01486 05307> [cast lots.]
responsibilities <04931 05980> [ward against ward.]
teacher <0995> [the teacher.]
Even among the twenty-four leaders, some were more expert than others; some were teachers, and others were scholars; but every one was taken by the solemn casting of lots, without any regard to these distinctions. Thus all things were disposed for the preserving of order, and avoiding all disputes about precedence: there being no respect had, in this divine distribution, to birth, but the younger in course preceded the elder.
