1 Chronicles 23:32 Meaning and Commentary

1 Chronicles 23:32

And that they should keep the charge of the tabernacle of the
congregation
That no unclean persons entered into it, and that none of the vessels were carried out of it; this was the business of the porters:

and the charge of the holy place;
of things that belonged unto it, the vessels in it, and what was requisite for it, and used there: and the charge of the sons of Aaron their brethren; the priests, whatever they should command them to do: in the service of the house of the Lord; in any part and branch of it before specified.
