the nineteenth
The use of ordinal numbers in this passage signifies the order of service among the priestly divisions. The number nineteen in biblical numerology often symbolizes faith and divine order. In the context of the priestly divisions, it reflects the structured and organized approach to worship and service in the temple, ensuring that each family had its appointed time to serve before the Lord. This orderliness is a reflection of God's nature, who is not a God of chaos but of peace and order (1 Corinthians 14:33).

to Pethahiah
The name "Pethahiah" means "Yahweh opens" or "the Lord opens." This name is significant as it reflects the role of the priests as mediators who open the way for the people to approach God. In a spiritual sense, it reminds us of the openness and accessibility of God to His people, facilitated through the priesthood in the Old Testament and ultimately through Jesus Christ, our High Priest, in the New Testament (Hebrews 4:14-16).

the twentieth
The number twenty in biblical terms often symbolizes a complete or perfect waiting period. It can also represent redemption. In the context of the priestly divisions, it underscores the completeness of the service cycle, ensuring that the worship of God is continuous and unbroken. This reflects the perpetual nature of worship that God desires from His people, a theme echoed throughout Scripture (Psalm 34:1).

to Jehezkel
The name "Jehezkel" is a variant of "Ezekiel," meaning "God strengthens." This name is a powerful reminder of the source of strength for the priests and, by extension, for all believers. It is God who empowers and equips His servants for the work of ministry. This is a theme that resonates throughout the Bible, where God often chooses the weak and makes them strong for His purposes (2 Corinthians 12:9-10).

(16) Pethahiah.--Ezra 10:23, (Iah openeth, i.e., setteth free). (Comp. Jephthah: He, i.e., Iah, openeth.)

Jehezekel.--Heb., Y?hezqel: Ezekiel.

Verse 16. - Pethahiah... Jehezekel. The former name reappears as one of those who separated themselves from the alliances they had contracted in the land of their captivity (Ezra 10:23; Nehemiah 9:5). The latter is in its characters (יָחָזְקֵאל) the same with those of Ezekiel, though here Englished Jehezekel!
