The division of the priesthood into 24 courses is detailed in <a href="/1_chronicles/24.htm">1 Chronicles 24</a>, a system designed to organize the temple service. This division ensured that the duties of the temple were shared among the descendants of Aaron, maintaining order and efficiency in worship. The name Hezir appears again in <a href="/nehemiah/10-20.htm">Nehemiah 10:20</a>, where a priest named Hezir is listed among those who sealed the covenant, indicating the continuity and faithfulness of this family line. The division of the priesthood reflects the importance of structure and order in worship, a principle that is echoed in the New Testament, particularly in <a href="/1_corinthians/14-40.htm">1 Corinthians 14:40</a>, which emphasizes doing everything decently and in order.<p><b>the eighteenth to Happizzez</b><br>Happizzez is another of the priestly divisions, though less is known about this particular family. The name itself is unique and does not appear elsewhere in the biblical text, suggesting that some priestly families may have been smaller or less prominent. The division of the priesthood into courses allowed for a rotation system, ensuring that all families had the opportunity to serve in the temple. This system highlights the inclusivity and shared responsibility within the priesthood, a concept that can be seen in the New Testament's teaching on the priesthood of all believers (<a href="/1_peter/2-9.htm">1 Peter 2:9</a>). The organization of the priestly courses also foreshadows the orderly and communal nature of the body of Christ, where each member has a role and function (<a href="/1_corinthians/12-12.htm">1 Corinthians 12:12-27</a>).<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/h/hezir.htm">Hezir</a></b><br>Hezir is one of the priestly divisions established by King David. The name "Hezir" is of Hebrew origin, meaning "swine" or "boar," which may reflect a characteristic or a family symbol. This division was part of the 24 priestly courses that were set to serve in the temple.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/h/happizzez.htm">Happizzez</a></b><br>Happizzez is another priestly division.
