This system ensured that the responsibilities of the priests were carried out efficiently and reverently. The order was established to maintain a continuous and orderly worship of God, highlighting the importance of discipline and routine in spiritual practices.<p><b>when they entered the house of the LORD</b><br>The "house of the LORD" refers to the temple in Jerusalem, which was the central place of worship for the Israelites. It was a sacred space where God's presence dwelt among His people. The priests' entry into the temple was a significant act, symbolizing their role as mediators between God and the people. This phrase underscores the holiness and reverence required when approaching God.<p><b>according to the regulations prescribed for them</b><br>The regulations were detailed instructions given to ensure that the worship and sacrifices were conducted in a manner pleasing to God. These rules were not arbitrary but were divinely ordained to reflect God's holiness and the need for purity in worship. The adherence to these regulations demonstrates the importance of obedience and reverence in the service of God.<p><b>by their forefather Aaron</b><br>Aaron, the brother of Moses, was the first high priest and the ancestor of the Levitical priesthood. His role established the priestly lineage and set the precedent for the duties and responsibilities of the priests. Aaron's leadership and the regulations given to him were foundational for the priestly service, emphasizing the continuity and faithfulness of God's covenant with Israel.<p><b>as the LORD, the God of Israel, had commanded him</b><br>This phrase highlights the divine authority behind the priestly regulations. The commands were not human inventions but were given by God Himself, underscoring His sovereignty and the importance of following His will.

All the sacerdotal functions were fixed, and each of the twenty-four classes undertook the weekly discharge of them in rotation with the rest, beginning on the Sabbath (<a href="/2_kings/11-9.htm" title="And the captains over the hundreds did according to all things that Jehoiada the priest commanded: and they took every man his men that were to come in on the sabbath, with them that should go out on the sabbath, and came to Jehoiada the priest.">2Kings 11:9</a>; <a href="/2_chronicles/23-8.htm" title="So the Levites and all Judah did according to all things that Jehoiada the priest had commanded, and took every man his men that were to come in on the sabbath, with them that were to go out on the sabbath: for Jehoiada the priest dismissed not the courses.">2Chronicles 23:8</a>).

An interesting allusion to this order of courses is tacitly made in <a href="/ezekiel/8-16.htm">Ezekiel 8:16-18</a>, where the twenty-fifth idolater may be supposed to be the high priest. Some have, on very insufficient grounds, supposed that this "ordering" of courses was not really the institution of David, but attributed to him after the Exile for the sake of the authority of his name. In <a href="/nehemiah/12-1.htm">Nehemiah 12:1-7</a>, moreover, the names do not appear as even twenty-four, but twenty-two - deficient by two! - a thing most easily to be accounted for. In addition to the direct scriptural witness on this subject, Josephus's ('Ant.,' 7:14) testimony confirms the account of our present chapter, while Movers (in 'Chronik.,' 279) and Dehler (in Herzog's 'R.E.,' 12:185) effectively combat the positions of De Wette and Gramberg, and of Herzberg, in his 'History of the People of Israel.' <span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/1_chronicles/24-19.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a></span><span class="p"><br /><br /><br /></span><a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div><span class="word">This was</span><br /><span class="heb">אֵ֣לֶּה</span> <span class="translit">(’êl·leh)</span><br /><span class="parse">Pronoun -
