דברי הימים ב, פרק ל״א, פסוק ט״ו

Managing the distribution of the holy portions of the Temple required strict management and a clear hierarchy. This organized structure ensured that every eligible person received their proper share, even if they were not present at the central place of work.

To maintain this system, specific individuals, such as Eden and Miniman, were appointed to serve directly under the authority of the chief officer. Their primary responsibility was to manage the distribution of food within the priestly cities. This network was specifically designed to provide for the priests and Levites who were not currently serving their shift at the Temple and had remained in their hometowns [מלבי״ם].

These appointed officials carried out their duties with deep loyalty and faithfulness [ביאור שטיינזלץ], ensuring that their brethren received the portions they were owed. The commentators agree that the guiding principle for this distribution was absolute equality. Every individual received an equal share, with no distinction made between a person of great importance and an ordinary person.
