But Nadab and Abihu died before their father, and without children. And so Eleazar and Ithamar exercised the priestly office.

And there were found many more of the sons of Eleazar among the leading men, than of the sons of Ithamar. Therefore, he divided them so that there were, of the sons of Eleazar, sixteen leaders by their families, and of the sons of Ithamar eight by their families and houses.
