1 Chronicles 23:26

26 the Levites need no longer carry the dwelling or any of the equipment used in its service."

1 Chronicles 23:26 Meaning and Commentary

1 Chronicles 23:26

And also unto the Levites
Or with respect to them:

they shall no more carry the tabernacle:
on their shoulders, from place to place, as they had done:

nor any vessels of it for the service thereof;
and so the service of it did not require men at their full strength, but such as were but twenty years of age might be employed in it.

1 Chronicles 23:26 In-Context

24 These were the members of Levi's family according to their households. The household heads were registered, along with a listing of the names of each person 20 years old and above who carried out assigned tasks in the LORD's temple.

25 David said, "Since the LORD, Israel's God, has given his people peace and has made his home in Jerusalem forever,

26 the Levites need no longer carry the dwelling or any of the equipment used in its service."

27 David's last instructions were to count the Levites 20 years old and above.

28 Their assignment was to be at the side of the Aaronites to serve in the LORD's temple, maintaining the courtyards and side rooms and cleansing all of the holy objects and doing whatever was needed in the service of God's temple.
