And the lot of the east fell out to Shelemiah. But to his son Zechariah, a very prudent and learned man, the northern section was obtained by lot.

Truly, toward the east there were six Levites, and toward the north there were four per day, and then toward the south similarly there were four each day. And where the council was, there were two and two.
Also, in the cells of the porters toward the west, there were four along the way, and two at every cell.
These are the divisions of the porters of the sons of Kohath and of Merari.
