And the lot eastward fell to Shelemiah. Then for Zechariah his son, a wise counsellor, they cast lots; and his lot came out northward.
La suerte para la puerta del oriente le tocó a Selemías. Luego echaron suertes para su hijo Zacarías, quien era un consejero sabio, y su suerte salió para la puerta del norte.
Selemías recibió la puerta del oriente y su sabio hijo Zacarías recibió la puerta del norte por sorteo.
📚 Contexto Histórico
This passage describes the organization of temple gatekeepers during King David's reign, around 1000 BC. The Levites were divided into groups and assigned specific duties at different gates of the temple through casting lots, which was seen as allowing God to make the decision. This system ensured fair distribution of responsibilities and prevented favoritism in temple service.
