These were the sons of Levi after their fathers' houses, even the heads of the fathers' [houses] of those of those who were counted, in the number of names by their polls, who did the work for the service of the house of the LORD, from twenty years old and upward.
25
For David said, the LORD, the God of Yisra'el, has given rest to his people; and he dwells in Yerushalayim forever:
26
and also the Levites shall no more have need to carry the tent and all the vessels of it for the service of it.
27
For by the last words of David the sons of Levi were numbered, from twenty years old and upward.
28
For their office was to wait on the sons of Aharon for the service of the house of the LORD, in the courts, and in the chambers, and in the purifying of all holy things, even the work of the service of the house of God;
29
for the show bread also, and for the fine flour for a meal-offering, whether of unleavened wafers, or of that which is baked in the pan, or of that which is soaked, and for all manner of measure and size;
30
and to stand every morning to thank and praise the LORD, and likewise at even;
31
and to offer all burnt offerings to the LORD, on the Shabbatot, on the new moons, and on the set feasts, in number according to the ordinance concerning them, continually before the LORD;
32
and that they should keep the charge of the tent of meeting, and the charge of the holy place, and the charge of the sons of Aharon their brothers, for the service of the house of the LORD.
