The division of priests into 24 groups was a significant organizational effort to ensure the orderly conduct of temple services. Jachin, meaning "He will establish," is also the name of one of the two pillars at the entrance of Solomon's Temple (<a href="/1_kings/7-21.htm">1 Kings 7:21</a>). This name symbolizes stability and strength, reflecting God's promise to establish His people. The division of Jachin would have served in the temple twice a year, each time for a week, as well as during major festivals. This system ensured that the worship of God was maintained continuously and efficiently.<p><b>the twenty-second to Gamul</b><br>Gamul, meaning "weaned" or "rewarded," is another priestly division. The name may suggest maturity or readiness, qualities essential for those serving in the temple. The division of Gamul, like the others, played a crucial role in maintaining the spiritual life of Israel. The priestly divisions were a fulfillment of God's command to Aaron and his descendants to serve as priests (<a href="/exodus/28.htm">Exodus 28:1</a>). This structure also foreshadows the New Testament concept of the priesthood of all believers (<a href="/1_peter/2-9.htm">1 Peter 2:9</a>), where every believer is called to serve and worship God. The organization of these divisions highlights the importance of order and dedication in worship, principles that are timeless in their application.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/j/jachin.htm">Jachin</a></b><br>Jachin was one of the priestly divisions established by King David.
