# General Information:
|
|
|
|
This begins the list of 24 lots that were cast to choose the order in which families would serve. This list ends in [1 Chronicles 25:31](./29.md).
|
|
|
|
# The first lot ... the second ... the third ... the fourth ... the fifth
|
|
|
|
"Lot number 1 ... lot number 2 ... lot number 3 ... lot number 4 ... lot number 5." This shows the order in which the families were chosen by lots. If this is unnatural in your language you may use "The initial" for "The first" and "the next" for all of the following ones. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/translate-ordinal]])

# The first lot fell to Joseph's family
|
|
|
|
For all of the other people in the list, the text specifies that there were "twelve persons in number." Since this was true for Joseph's family too, you may want to state it clearly. AT: "The first lot fell to Joseph's family, twelve persons in number" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit]])
|
|
|
|
# the second fell to
|
|
|
|
This refers to the second lot. The word "lot" may be stated clearly here and in the phrases concerning the rest of the lots. AT: "the second lot fell to" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-ellipsis]])
