Ezra 6:18 meaning and explanation
They also appointed the priests by their divisions and the Levites by their groups to the service of God in Jerusalem, according to what is written in the Book of Moses.
Ezra 6:18, Berean Standard Bible

After the temple was completed and dedicated, the returned exiles organized the priests and Levites for ongoing worship. The "divisions" and "groups" point back to the rotating service orders associated with David (1 Chronicles 24-26), yet the text grounds the arrangement in the Book of Moses, where Aaron's line and the Levites receive their duties.
