Strong’s Greek Lexicon
from G2184; diurnality, i.e. (specially) the quotidian rotation or class of the Jewish priests’ service at the Temple, as distributed by families:—course.
Owing to changes in the enumeration while in progress, there were no words left for numbers 2717 and 3203–3302, which were therefore silently dropped out of the vocabulary and references as redundant.
Thayer’s Greek Definitions
1) a service limited to a stated series of days
2) the class or course itself of priests who for a week at a time performed the duties of the priestly office. 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
