1 Chronicles 23:2-6

Jubilee Bible 2000

² And he gathered together all the princes of Israel, and the priests and the Levites,

³ were numbered from the age of thirty years and upward; and their number by their polls, man by man, was thirty-eight thousand.

⁴ Of which, twenty-four thousand were to set forward the work of the house of the LORD, and six thousand were officers and judges;

⁵ moreover, four thousand were porters, and four thousand praised the LORD with the instruments which David had made to praise therewith.

⁶ And David divided them into courses according to the sons of Levi, namely, Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.
