the eleventh to Eliashib
Eliashib is a name that appears several times in the Old Testament, often associated with priestly duties. In this context, Eliashib is one of the priests assigned to the divisions of service in the temple. The division of priests into 24 courses was established by King David to organize temple worship efficiently. This system ensured that the temple was staffed with priests throughout the year, each serving in their appointed time. The name Eliashib means "God restores," which can be seen as a reflection of the priestly role in restoring the people to God through sacrifices and intercession. This division highlights the importance of order and structure in worship, a principle that is echoed in the New Testament with the orderly conduct of church gatherings (1 Corinthians 14:40).

the twelfth to Jakim
Jakim, like Eliashib, is another priestly figure assigned to a specific division. The name Jakim means "He will raise," which can be seen as a prophetic nod to the resurrection power of God, ultimately fulfilled in Jesus Christ. The twelfth division signifies completeness and divine government, as the number twelve often represents in biblical numerology (e.g., twelve tribes of Israel, twelve apostles). This division system reflects the continuity and faithfulness of God's covenant with Israel, ensuring that worship and sacrifices were maintained. The priestly service points to the ultimate High Priest, Jesus, who intercedes for believers and offers a once-for-all sacrifice for sins (Hebrews 7:25-27).
