Courses, divisions; the organized shifts of priests and Levites rotating through temple service
This Aramaic term appears in Ezra 6:18, describing how the returning exiles organized temple personnel: 'they set the priests in their divisions and the Levites in their courses for the service of God.' The system of rotating courses ensured continuous worship while allowing individual priests and Levites periods of service and rest. This organizational structure, rooted in David's arrangements, brought order and sustainability to temple operations. The courses represented both practical scheduling and theological vision of orderly, perpetual worship.
