Divrey Hayamim Alef 23:4 Meaning and Commentary

1 Chronicles 23:4

Of which twenty and four thousand were to set forward the work
of the house of the Lord
To prepare for the work of the priests by slaying the sacrifices, flaying them, cutting them in pieces, and washing them, and bringing them to the altar; 1000 of these served weekly in their turns:

and six thousand were officers and judges:
that acted as justices of the peace in the several parts of the country, heard causes and administered justice to the people, being trained up in and acquainted with the laws of God, civil as well as ecclesiastic; some were more properly judges, and others executioners of their sentence; see ( Deuteronomy 16:18 ) ( 17:9 ) .

Divrey Hayamim Alef 23:4 In-Context

2 And he gathered together all the sarim of Yisroel, with the Kohanim and the Levi’im.

3 Now the Levi’im were numbered from the age of thirty years and upward; and their number by their gulgelot (totals, head count), gevarim (men), was thirty and eight elef.

4 Of which, twenty and four elef were to look after the work of the Beis Hashem; and six alafim were shoterim (officials) and shofetim (judges);

5 Moreover four alafim were sho’arim (gatekeepers); and four alafim praised Hashem with the kelim (instruments) which I made, said Dovid, to praise therewith.

6 And Dovid divided them into divisions among the Bnei Levi, namely, Gershon, Kehat, and Merari.
