1 Chronicles 23:24-32

Modern English Version

²⁴ These were the sons of Levi according to their fathers’ houses, the heads of the fathers’ houses as they were registered by the number of their names according to their head count, those doing the work for the service of the house of the Lord, from twenty years old and up.

²⁵ For David said, “The Lord, the God of Israel, has given rest to His people, and He dwells in Jerusalem forever. ²⁶ And so the Levites no longer need to carry the tabernacle and all its implements for its service.” ²⁷ For by the last words of David, the sons of Levi were numbered from twenty years old and up; ²⁸ because their duty was to help the sons of Aaron in the service of the house of the Lord, in the courts and in the chambers, with the purifying of all holy things, even the work of service of the house of God, ²⁹ and with the showbread, the fine flour for a grain offering, the wafers of unleavened bread, the baked offering, the offering mixed with oil, and all measures of quantity and size, ³⁰ to stand morning by morning to thank and praise the Lord, and likewise in the evening, ³¹ and to offer up all burnt offerings to the Lord, for Sabbaths, New Moons, and appointed feasts, by number as the judgment concerning them, continually before the Lord, ³² and that they should keep charge of the tent of meeting and the sanctuary and attend to the sons of Aaron, their brothers, for the service of the house of the Lord.
