24 The gatekeepers [were] on four sides: east, west, north, and south.

25 And their brethren in their villages [were] to come [every] seven days {by turn} [to be] with these.

26 For the four mighty gatekeepers, they who [were] Levites, {were entrusted} and [were] over the chambers and over the storerooms of the house of God.

27 And they lodged all around the house of God, for upon them [was] a responsibility. And {they had charge of opening [the house of God] every morning}.

28 And some of them [were] over the utensils of the service, for {they count them} [when] they are brought in and {they count them} [when] they are brought out.
