1 Chronicles 25:6-8

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁶ All these under their father's hand were distributed to sing in the temple of the Lord, with cymbals, and psalteries and harps, for the service of the house of the Lord near the king: to wit, Asaph, and Idithun, and Heman.

⁷ And the number of them with their brethren, that taught the song of the Lord, all the teachers, were two hundred and eighty-eight,

⁸ And they cast lots by their courses, the elder equally with the younger, the learned and the unlearned together.
