1 Chronicles 23:20-29

20Uzziel’s sons: Micah was first, and Isshiah second.

21Merari’s sons: Mahli and Mushi. Mahli’s sons: Eleazar and Kish.

22Eleazar died having no sons, only daughters. Their cousins, the sons of Kish, married them.

23Mushi’s sons: Mahli, Eder, and Jeremoth — three.

24These were the descendants of Levi by their ancestral families  — the family heads, according to their registration by name in the headcount — twenty years old or more, who worked in the service of the Lord’s temple.

25For David said, “The Lord God of Israel has given rest to his people, and he has come to stay in Jerusalem forever.

26Also, the Levites no longer need to carry the tabernacle or any of the equipment for its service”  —

27for according to the last words of David, the Levites twenty years old or more were to be counted —

28“but their duty will be to assist the descendants of Aaron with the service of the Lord’s temple, being responsible for the courts and the chambers, the purification of all the holy things, and the work of the service of God’s temple —

29as well as the rows of the Bread of the Presence, the fine flour for the grain offering, the wafers of unleavened bread, the baking, the mixing, and all measurements of volume and length.
