1 Chronicles 23:24–32

²⁴These were ^kthe sons of Levi after the house of their fathers; even the chief of the fathers, as ^lthey were counted by number of names by their polls, that did the work for the service of the house of the Lord, from the age of ^mtwenty years and upward. ²⁵For David said, The Lord God of Israel ⁿhath given rest unto his people, that they may dwell in Jerusalem for ever: ²⁶and also unto the Levites; they shall no more ^ocarry the tabernacle, nor any vessels of it for the service thereof. ²⁷For by the last words of David, the Levites were numbered from twenty years old and above: ²⁸because their office was to wait on the sons of Aaron for the service of the house of the Lord, in the courts, and in the ^pchambers, and in the purifying of all holy things, and the work of the service of the house of God; ²⁹both for ^qthe shewbread, and for ^rthe fine flour for meat offering, and for ^sthe unleavened cakes, and for that which is baked in the pan, and for that which is ^tfried, and for all manner of ^umeasure and ^usize; ³⁰and to stand every morning to thank and praise the Lord, and likewise at even; ³¹and to offer all burnt sacrifices unto the Lord in the ^xsabbaths, in the ^ynew moons, and on the ^zset feasts, by number, according to the order commanded unto them, continually before the Lord: ³²and that they should ^akeep the charge of the tabernacle of the congregation, and the charge of the holy place, and ^bthe charge of the sons of Aaron their brethren, in the service of the house of the Lord.
