The division of priests into 24 groups was a system designed to organize the temple service, ensuring that the duties were evenly distributed among the descendants of Aaron. This system is detailed in <a href="/1_chronicles/24.htm">1 Chronicles 24</a>, where the sons of Aaron are divided into courses. The name Hakkoz means "the thorn" or "the thorny," which may reflect a characteristic or notable event associated with this family line. The division of Hakkoz is mentioned again in <a href="/ezra/2-61.htm">Ezra 2:61</a> and <a href="/nehemiah/3-4.htm">Nehemiah 3:4, 21</a>, indicating its continued existence and involvement in the post-exilic period, highlighting the enduring legacy of these priestly families.<p><b>the eighth to Abijah</b><br>The division of Abijah is particularly significant in biblical history. Abijah, meaning "Yahweh is my father," is a name that appears in various contexts in the Old Testament. The division of Abijah is notably mentioned in the New Testament in <a href="/luke/1-5.htm">Luke 1:5</a>, where Zechariah, the father of John the Baptist, is identified as belonging to this priestly course. This connection underscores the continuity of the priestly service from the time of David to the New Testament era. The mention of Abijah in the context of the birth of John the Baptist also serves as a link between the Old and New Testaments, illustrating the fulfillment of God's promises and the preparation for the coming of Jesus Christ. The division of Abijah, like the others, would serve in the temple twice a year, and during major festivals, all divisions would be present, ensuring that the temple worship was maintained according to the law.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/h/hakkoz.htm">Hakkoz</a></b><br>A priestly family in the line of Aaron, specifically from the division of Eleazar.
