21
[And] Zechariah the son of Meshelemiah [was] porter of the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
22
All these [who were] chosen to be porters in the gates [were] two hundred and twelve. These were reckoned by their genealogy in their villages, whom David and Samuel the seer ordained in their set office.
23
So they and their children [had] the oversight of the gates of the house of the LORD, [namely], the house of the tabernacle, by wards.
24
In four quarters were the porters, towards the east, west, north and south.
25
And their brethren, [who were] in their villages, [were] to come after seven days from time to time with them.
26
For these Levites, the four chief porters, were in [their] set office, and were over the chambers and treasuries of the house of God.
27
And they lodged about the house of God, because the charge [was] upon them, and the opening of it every morning [pertained] to them.
28
And [certain] of them had the charge of the ministering vessels, that they should bring them in and out by number.
29
[Some] of them also [were] appointed to oversee the vessels, and all the instruments of the sanctuary, and the fine flour, and the wine, and the oil, and the frankincense, and the spices.
30
And [some] of the sons of the priests made the ointment of the spices.
31
And Mattithiah, [one] of the Levites, who [was] the first-born of Shallum the Korahite, had the set office over the things that were made in the pans.
