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 descendants of Levi by clans, the leaders of their family groups, registered carefully by name. Each had to be twenty years old or older to qualify for service in the house of the LORD .

25 For David said, “The LORD, the God of Israel, has given us peace, and he will always live in Jerusalem.

26 Now the Levites will no longer need to carry the Tabernacle and its furnishings from place to place.”

27 In accordance with David’s final instructions, all the Levites twenty years old or older were registered for service.

28 The work of the Levites was to assist the priests, the descendants of Aaron, as they served at the house of the LORD . They also took care of the courtyards and side rooms, helped perform the ceremonies of purification, and served in many other ways in the house of God.
