12 With respect to their leaders, these courses of trustees had responsibilities, along with their relatives, regarding ministry within the Temple of the LORD

13 assigned by lottery according to their ancestral households, whether large or small alike, for their gate assignments.

14 The lot for the eastern gate fell to Shelemiah. They also cast lots for his son Zechariah, who was a wise counselor, and his lot indicated the northern gate.

15 Obed-edom's lot indicated the south gate, and his sons were also allotted responsibility for the storehouse.

16 For Shuppim and Hosah the lot indicated the west at the gate of Shallecheth on the ascending road. Each guard corresponding to each guard,

17 on the east six descendants of Levi were assigned for each day, on the north four for each day, on the south four for each day (as well as two pairs of guards assigned to the storehouse),

18 and for the colonnade on the west four were assigned at the road and two at the colonnade.

19 These were the ranks of trustees assigned among the descendants of Korah and the sons of Merari.
