1 Chronicles 9:27-29

New International Reader's Version

²⁷ They spent the night in their positions around the house of God. That’s because they had to guard it. They were in charge of the key that opened it each morning.

²⁸ Some Levites were in charge of the objects that were used when they served at the temple. They counted the objects when they were brought in. They also counted them when they were taken out. ²⁹ Other Levites were appointed to take care of all the other things that belonged to the temple. They also took care of the special flour, wine, olive oil, incense and spices.
