1 Chronicles 23:24-32

241These were the sons of Levi according to their fathers’ households, even the heads of the fathers’ households of those of them who were 2counted, in the number of names by their 3census, doing the work for the service of the house of the Lord, 4from twenty years old and upward.

25For David said, “The Lord God of Israel 5has given rest to His people, and He dwells in Jerusalem forever.

26Also, 6the Levites will no longer need to carry the tabernacle and all its utensils for its service.”

27For by the last words of David the sons of Levi were numbered from twenty years old and upward.

28For their office is 7to assist the sons of Aaron with the service of the house of the Lord, in the courts and in the chambers and in the purifying of all holy things, even the work of the service of the house of God,

298and with the showbread, and 9the fine flour for a grain offering, and unleavened wafers, or 10what is baked in the pan or 11what is well-mixed, and 12all measures of volume and size.

30They are to stand every morning to thank and to praise the Lord, and likewise at evening,

31and to offer all burnt offerings to the Lord, 13on the sabbaths, the new moons and 14the fixed festivals in the number set by the ordinance concerning them, continually before the Lord.

32Thus 15they are to keep charge of the tent of meeting, and charge of the holy place, and 16charge of the sons of Aaron their 17relatives, for the service of the house of the Lord.
