And they cast lots, ward against ward, as well the small as the great, the teacher as the scholar.
They cast lots for their offices, all alike, the small as well as the great, the teacher as well as the student.
And they cast lots for their offices, all alike, as well the small as the great, the teacher as the scholar.
