1 Chronicles 23:24-32

241These were the sons of Levi according to their fathers’ households, the heads of the fathers’ households of those among them who were 2counted, in the number of names by their 3head count, 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 counted 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 courtyards and in the chambers, and in the purification of all holy things, and 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 appointed festivals, in the number determined by the ordinance concerning them, continually before the Lord.

32So 15they are to perform the 16duties of the tent of meeting, the holy place, and 17of assisting the sons of Aaron their relatives, for the service of the house of the Lord.
