the eleventh
The number eleven in biblical numerology often signifies disorder or incompleteness, as it falls short of the number twelve, which represents divine government or completeness. In the context of the priestly divisions, the eleventh lot signifies a specific order and role within the priestly service, highlighting the meticulous organization of worship in the temple. This reflects God's desire for order and structure in worship, ensuring that each priestly family had a designated time to serve.

to Eliashib
The name Eliashib means "God restores" or "God will restore." This name is significant in the context of the priestly divisions, as it underscores the theme of restoration and renewal that is central to the priestly ministry. Eliashib's role in the temple service would have been a reminder of God's faithfulness in restoring His people and His covenant promises. Historically, Eliashib is also a name associated with a high priest during the time of Nehemiah, suggesting a legacy of faithfulness and leadership in the restoration of Jerusalem and its temple.

the twelfth
The number twelve is a symbol of divine authority and governmental perfection. It is often associated with the twelve tribes of Israel and the twelve apostles, representing the fullness of God's people and His divine order. In the priestly divisions, the twelfth lot signifies completeness and the fulfillment of God's ordained structure for worship. This reflects the importance of each division in maintaining the continuity and integrity of temple service.

to Jakim
The name Jakim means "He will raise" or "He will establish." This name carries a prophetic assurance of God's ability to establish and uphold His people. In the context of the priestly divisions, Jakim's role would have been a testament to God's sustaining power and His commitment to uphold the covenant community. The mention of Jakim in the priestly order serves as a reminder of the enduring nature of God's promises and His sovereign ability to establish His purposes through His chosen servants.

(12) Eliashib (God will restore).--1Chronicles 3:24.

Jakim (He, i.e., God, or Jah, will establish).--Equivalent to Eliakim and Jecamiah (1Chronicles 8:19).
