Numbers 8:23 In-Context

21 The Levites purified themselves and washed their clothes; then Aaron presented them before the Lord as a presentation offering. Aaron also made atonement for them to ceremonially cleanse them.

22 After that, the Levites came to do their work at the tent of meeting in the presence of Aaron and his sons. So they did to them as the Lord had commanded Moses concerning the Levites.

23 The Lord spoke to Moses:

24 "In regard to the Levites: From 25 years old or more, a man enters the service in the work at the tent of meeting.

25 But at 50 years old he is to retire from his service in the work and no longer serve.
