From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
cargo cult programming n.   A style of (incompetent) programming    dominated by ritual inclusion of code or program structures that    serve no real purpose.   A cargo cult programmer will usually explain    the extra code as a way of working around some bug encountered in    the past, but usually neither the bug nor the reason the code    apparently avoided the bug was ever fully understood (compare    {shotgun debugging}, {voodoo programming}).          The term `cargo cult' is a reference to aboriginal religions that    grew up in the South Pacific after World War II.   The practices of    these cults center on building elaborate mockups of airplanes and    military style landing strips in the hope of bringing the return of    the god-like airplanes that brought such marvelous cargo during the    war.   Hackish usage probably derives from Richard Feynman's    characterization of certain practices as "cargo cult science" in his    book "Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman!" (W. W. Norton & Co, New    York 1985, ISBN 0-393-01921-7).

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Courses       When David was not permitted to build the temple, he proceeded,       among the last acts of his life, with the assistance of Zadok       and Ahimelech, to organize the priestly and musical services to       be conducted in the house of God. (1.) He divided the priests       into twenty-four courses (1 Chr. 24:1-19), sixteen being of the       house of Eleazar and eight of that of Ithamar. Each course was       under a head or chief, and ministered for a week, the order       being determined by lot. (2.) The rest of the 38,000 Levites       (23:4) were divided also into twenty-four courses, each to       render some allotted service in public worship: 4,000 in       twenty-four courses were set apart as singers and musicians       under separate leaders (25); 4,000 as porters or keepers of the       doors and gates of the sanctuary (26:1-19); and 6,000 as       officers and judges to see to the administration of the law in       all civil and ecclesiastical matters (20-32).                This arrangement was re-established by Hezekiah (2 Chr. 31:2);       and afterwards the four sacerdotal courses which are said to       have returned from the Captivity were re-divided into the       original number of twenty-four by Ezra (6:18).
