         DefinitionShort: a class or division of persons who perform certain daily duties (in the one NT occurrence, a reference to a group of priests performing certain functions in the Temple at Jerusalem)

         Glosses: ['work group', 'division']

         Comments: It may be necessary to expand somewhat the expression ‘the work group of Abijah’ ({S:04200100500028}) to read ‘a work group known as the division of Abijah.’ Otherwise, one might get the impression that this was a work group under the command of Abijah or a group of persons who belonged specifically to the person named Abijah. If it is difficult to obtain a satisfactory expression for ‘work group,’ one can of course translate the final clause of {S:04200100500028} as simply ‘who belonged to a group of priests known as the group of Abijah.’
