24 The gatekeepers were on the four sides: east, west, north, and south.
25 Their relatives came in from their settlements, from time to time, to assist them for a period of seven days.
26 Due to their trustworthiness, the four master gatekeepers, who were Levites, were in charge of the rooms and the treasuries of God's house.
27 They would spend the night patrolling God's house since they had guard duty and were responsible for unlocking it every morning.
28 Some of them were responsible for the worship objects; they counted them when they were brought in and taken out.
