STRONGS G2183:
ἐφημερία, -ας, ἡ, (ἐφημέριος, -ον, by day, lasting or acting for a day, daily), a word not found in secular authors; the Sept. in Chronicles and Nehemiah;
1. a service limited to a stated series of days (cf. German Tagdienst, Wochendienst); so used of the service of the priests and Levites: Nehemiah 13:30; 1 Chronicles 25:8; 2 Chronicles 13:10, etc.
2. the class or course itself of priests who for a week at a time performed the duties of the priestly office (German Wöchnerzunft): 1 Chronicles 23:6; 1 Chronicles 28:13, etc.; 1 Esdr. 1:2, 15; so twice in the N. T.: Luke 1:5, 8. For David divided the priests into twenty-four classes, each of which in its turn discharged the duties of the office for an entire week from sabbath to sabbath, 1 Chronicles 24:4; 2 Chronicles 8:14; Nehemiah 12:24; these classes Josephus calls πατριαί and ἐφημερίδες, Antiquities 7, 14, 7; de vita sua 1; Suidas, ἐφημερία· ἡ πατριά. λέγεται δὲ καὶ ἡ τῆς ἡμέρας λειτουργία. Cf. Fritzsche, commentary on 3 Esdras, p. 12. [BB. DD. under the word Priests; Edersheim, Jesus the Messiah, book 2, chapter 3].
