And there were more chief men found of the sons of Eleazar than of the sons of Ithamar; and thus were they divided. Among the sons of Eleazar there were sixteen chief men of the house of their fathers, and eight among the sons of Ithamar according to the house of their fathers.
Since more chief men were found among the sons of Eleazar than among the sons of Ithamar, they organized the sons of Eleazar as sixteen heads of fathers' houses, and the sons of Ithamar as eight heads of fathers' houses.
