Así fueron divididos por suerte los unos y los otros; porque eran funcionarios del santuario y funcionarios de la casa de Dios, tanto los descendientes de Eleazar como los descendientes de Itamar.
Chronicles 24:5"> 5 Repartironlos pues por suerte los unos con los otros: porque de los hijos de Eleazar y de los hijos de Ithamar hubo prncipes del santuario, y prncipes de la casa de Dios.
Los repartieron, pues, por suerte los unos con los otros; porque de los hijos de Eleazar y de los hijos de Itamar hubo prncipes del santuario, y prncipes de Dios.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Thus were they divided by lot, one sort with another,.... Which course should serve first, and which next, and so on; and who should be the chief to each course; which course was to serve a week, and then go out; and this method was taken to prevent envy, strife, and contention about precedence:
for the governors of the sanctuary; or of the holy things, or who presided in things ecclesiastical:
and governors of the house of God: or rather "governors of God", appointed by him judges in civil things:
were of the sons of Eleazar, and of the sons of Ithamar: there were, of both families, some employed both in sacred and civil things, and who presided in each.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
One sort with another - i. e., “the assignment of their order in the courses was made by lot to the families belonging to Eleazar, and to the families belonging to Ithamar, equally.” Both houses had furnished functionaries of the highest class, and therefore no preference was now given to either over the other.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 1 Chronicles 24:5. They divided by lot — This prevented jealousies: for, as all the families were equally noble, they had equal right to all ecclesiastical and civil distinctions.
