24 On the four sides were the porters, toward the east, west, north, and south.

25 Their brothers, in their villages, were to come in every seven days from time to time to be with them:

27 They lodged round about the house of God, because the charge [of it] was on them; and to them pertained the opening of it morning by morning.
