1 Chronicles 24:12 Meaning and Explanation

Now at the midpoint of the twenty-four, the eleventh lot comes to Eliashib and the twelfth to Jakim. Half the courses are now appointed, the rotation taking shape household by household.

Each family receives its place neither too soon nor too late, but exactly when the lot falls. There is rest in such order -- no one must grasp for position, for each has been given a portion. The God of order assigns to every servant a measure and a moment.
