2. 拿答、亚比户死在他们父亲以先——即不是在他面前,而是在他有生之年
(见
Nu 3:4; 26:61)。
因此以利亚撒、以他玛供祭司的职分——由于他两个长子无子而死,亚伦的后裔便归在以利亚撒和以他玛两家之中。这两个儿子都作为父亲的助手履行祭司的职务。以利亚撒接续他,大祭司的职分一直在他这一系延续,直到以利之时才转归以他玛家。
英文原文
2. Nadab and Abihu died before their father--that is, not in his presence, but during his lifetime (see
Nu 3:4; 26:61).
therefore Eleazar and Ithamar executed the priest's office--In consequence of the death of his two oldest sons without issue, the descendants of Aaron were comprised in the families of Eleazar and Ithamar. Both of these sons discharged the priestly functions as assistants to their father. Eleazar succeeded him, and in his line the high priesthood continued until it was transferred to the family of Ithamar, in the person of Eli.

3. 撒督……和以他玛的子孙亚希米勒——这一陈述连同
1Ch 24:6
一并来看,颇为费解,因为
(2Sa 15:24, 35; 20:25)
提到亚比亚他是大卫年间与撒督一同行使大祭司之职的人。有人认为这些字词被颠倒了,应读作「亚希米勒的儿子亚比亚他」。但并无根据视经文有误。以他玛系的大祭司如下:亚希亚或亚希米勒、其子亚比亚他、其子亚希米勒。我们常见祖父与孙辈同名的情形
(参以利亚撒系大祭司名单,
1Ch 6:30-41)。
因此《历代志》的作者所认识的亚希米勒,是亚比亚他的儿子,他因某种缘故在大卫年间、且在其父亲生前(因亚比亚他在所罗门时代仍在
1Ki 2:27)履行大祭司的职务[KEIL]。
英文原文
3. Zadok . . . and Ahimelech of the sons of Ithamar--This statement, taken in connection with
1Ch 24:6,
is not a little perplexing, since
(2Sa 15:24, 35; 20:25)
Abiathar is mentioned as the person conjoined in David's time with Zadok, in the collegiate exercise of the high priesthood. Some think that the words have been transposed, reading Abiathar, the son of Ahimelech. But there is no ground for regarding the text as faulty. The high priests of the line of Ithamar were the following: Ahiah or Ahimelech, his son Abiathar, his son Ahimelech. We frequently find the grandfather and grandson called by the same name (see list of high priests of the line of Eleazar,
1Ch 6:30-41).
Hence the author of the Chronicles was acquainted with Ahimelech, son of Abiathar, who, for some reason, discharged the duties of high priest in David's reign, and during the lifetime of his father (for Abiathar was living in the time of Solomon,
1Ki 2:27)
[KEIL].

4. 发现族长更多——希伯来文可译作:「就以利亚撒子孙的族长而言,人数更多。」事实上,按人口统计,以利亚撒家族的人数确比以他玛家族为多。这自然导致前者有更多的父家,因而也有更多的族长或首领。
英文原文
4. there were more chief men found--The Hebrew may be translated, "There were more men as to heads of the sons of Eleazar." It is true, in point of fact, that by the census the number of individuals belonging to the family of Eleazar was found greater than in that of Ithamar. And this, of necessity, led to there being more fathers' houses, and consequently more chiefs or presidents in the former.

5. 他们这样用掣签的方法分班——采用这一分配方法,显然是为了消除一切因位次先后与执行特定职务之权利而引起的嫉妒。
英文原文
5. Thus were they divided by lot--This method of allocation was adopted manifestly to remove all cause of jealousy as to precedence and the right of performing particular duties.

6. 一个主要的宗族——旁注的读法更可取,即「一个父家」。掣签是在王、众首领、两位大祭司,以及祭司和利未家族的族长面前,以审慎而庄严的方式进行的。属以利亚撒和以他玛的各家族首领轮流上前抽取,每一个人的名字在被叫到时由随侍的书记登记入册。为使掣签适应数目上的不均——以利亚撒有十六个父家,以他玛只有八个——便安排以他玛的每一家之后跟随以利亚撒的两家,或者说得明白些,以利亚撒的每两家之后跟随以他玛的一家。倘若我们从以利亚撒开始,次序便如下:一、二属以利亚撒;三属以他玛;四、五属以利亚撒;六属以他玛;七、八属以利亚撒;九属以他玛;以此类推[BERTHEAU]。
掣签也决定了祭司事奉的次序。利未人的事奉则随后按同样的安排分配
(1Ch 24:31)。
英文原文
6. one principal household--The marginal reading is preferable, "one house of the father." The lot was cast in a deliberate and solemn manner in presence of the king, the princes, the two high priests, and the chiefs of the priestly and Levitical families. The heads of families belonging to Eleazar and Ithamar were alternately brought forward to draw, and the name of each individual, as called, registered by an attendant secretary. To accommodate the casting of the lots to the inequality of the number, there being sixteen fathers' houses of Eleazar, and only eight of Ithamar, it was arranged that every house of Ithamar should be followed by two of Eleazar, or, what is the same thing, that every two houses of Eleazar should be followed by one of Ithamar. If, then, we suppose a commencement to have been made by Eleazar, the order would be as follows: one and two, Eleazar; three, Ithamar; four and five, Eleazar; six, Ithamar; seven and eight, Eleazar; nine, Ithamar; and so forth [BERTHEAU]. The lot determined also the order of the priests' service. That of the Levites was afterwards distributed by the same arrangement
(1Ch 24:31).
1Ch 24:1-19.
亚伦的子孙分为二十四个班次
1. 亚伦子孙的班次——(参
1Ch 23:6)。
