the seventh to Hakkoz
The phrase "the seventh" refers to the order of the priestly divisions established by King David. The division of priests into 24 courses was a significant organizational structure for the temple service, ensuring that the worship and sacrifices were conducted in an orderly and continuous manner. The name "Hakkoz" is of Hebrew origin, meaning "the thorn" or "the summer." This name is mentioned in the genealogies of the priestly families, indicating a lineage that was entrusted with sacred duties. Historically, the division of priests into courses reflects the meticulous care taken in the administration of temple worship, emphasizing the importance of order and dedication in serving God.

the eighth to Abijah
The phrase "the eighth" continues the enumeration of the priestly courses. The number eight in biblical numerology often symbolizes new beginnings or a new order, which can be seen as a reflection of the renewal and continuity of worship practices. "Abijah" is a Hebrew name meaning "Yahweh is my Father." This name is significant in the biblical narrative, as it is associated with a priestly lineage that continued to serve faithfully in the temple. The mention of Abijah in this context also connects to the New Testament, where Zechariah, the father of John the Baptist, is noted to be of the division of Abijah (Luke 1:5). This highlights the enduring legacy and faithfulness of the priestly line, serving as a reminder of God's faithfulness across generations. The historical context of these divisions underscores the importance of heritage and the continuity of spiritual leadership in the life of Israel.

(10) Hakkoz.--The thorn. (Comp. koz, thorn, 1Chronicles 4:8.)

Abijah.--Called "Abia" (Luke 1:5). To this class or course of the priests belonged Zacharias, the father of John the Baptist.

Verse 10. - Hakkoa The first half of this word is the definite article, as may be seen in Nehemiah 3:4, 21 and Ezra 2:61, where the name is found, as in the cases above, for the priest-family. Abijah (see again Nehemiah 10:7; Luke 1:5). To this course, therefore, Zaharias, father of John the Baptist, belonged.
