1 Chronicles 23:27 In-Context

25 David said, "Now that the God of Israel has given rest to his people and made Jerusalem his permanent home,

26 the Levites no longer have to carry the Tabernacle and all the furniture required for the work of worship."

27 These last words of David referred only to Levites twenty years old and above.

28 From now on the assigned work of the Levites was to assist Aaron's sons in the work of worship in God's house: maintain courtyards and closets, keep the furniture and utensils of worship clean, take care of any extra work needed in the work of worship,

29 and provide bread for the table and flour for the Meal Offerings and the unraised wafers - all baking and mixing, all measuring and weighing.
