³⁰They stood every morning to thank and praise the Lord. They did the same thing every evening. ³¹They also did it every time burnt offerings were brought to the Lord. Those offerings were brought every Sabbath day. They were also brought at every New Moon Feast and during the appointed yearly feasts.

The Levites served in front of the Lord at regular times. The proper number of Levites was always used when they served. They served in the way the law required of them.

³²So the Levites carried out their duties for the Tent of Meeting and for the Holy Room. They worked under their relatives who were in the family line of Aaron. They helped them serve at the Lord’s temple.
