This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Or, the chief (which word is easily supplied out of the context) of one house of the fathers was taken (to wit, by lot)
for Eleazar, ( i.e. out of his family,) and that which was taken after it was
taken for Ithamar, i.e. out of his family. The meaning is, that the first lot fell to Eleazar, and the second to Ithamar, and the third to Eleazar, and the fourth to Ithamar; and so successively, until all the families of Ithamar had received their lots; and afterwards all the lots came forth to the rest of Eleazar’s families, which were double in number to those of Ithamar, as was said, 1Ch_24:4.
