1 Chronicles 23:24-32
World English Bible
24 These were the sons of Levi after their fathers’ houses, even the heads of the fathers’ houses of those who were counted individually, in the number of names by their polls, who did the work for the service of Yahweh’s house, from twenty years old and upward. 25 For David said, “Yahweh, the God of Israel, has given rest to his people; and he dwells in Jerusalem forever. 26 Also the Levites will no longer need to carry the tabernacle and all its vessels for its service.” 27 For by the last words of David the sons of Levi were counted, from twenty years old and upward. 28 For their office was to wait on the sons of Aaron for the service of Yahweh’s house, in the courts, and in the rooms, and in the purifying of all holy things, even the work of the service of God’s house; 29 for the show bread also, and for the fine flour for a meal offering, whether of unleavened wafers, or of that which is baked in the pan, or of that which is soaked, and for all measurements of quantity and size; 30 and to stand every morning to thank and praise Yahweh, and likewise in the evening; 31 and to offer all burnt offerings to Yahweh, on the Sabbaths, on the new moons, and on the set feasts, in number according to the ordinance concerning them, continually before Yahweh; 32 and that they should keep the duty of the Tent of Meeting, the duty of the holy place, and the duty of the sons of Aaron their brothers, for the service of Yahweh’s house.

24 (A)These were the sons of Levi according to their fathers’ households, the heads of the fathers’ households of those among them who were [a]counted, in the number of names by their [b]head count, doing the work for the service of the house of the Lord, (B)from twenty years old and upward. 25 For David said, “The Lord God of Israel (C)has given rest to His people, and He dwells in Jerusalem forever. 26 Also, (D)the Levites will no longer need to carry the tabernacle and all its utensils for its service.” 27 For by the last words of David, the sons of Levi were counted from twenty years old and upward. 28 For their office is [c]to assist the sons of Aaron with the service of the house of the Lord, in the courtyards and in the chambers, and in the purification of all holy things, and the work of the service of the house of God, 29 (E)and with the showbread, and (F)the fine flour for a grain offering, and unleavened wafers, or (G)what is baked in the pan or (H)what is well-mixed, and (I)all measures of volume and size. 30 They are to stand every morning to thank and to praise the Lord, and likewise at evening, 31 and to offer all burnt offerings to the Lord, (J)on the Sabbaths, the new moons and (K)the appointed festivals, in the number determined by the ordinance concerning them, continually before the Lord. 32 So (L)they are to perform the [d]duties of the tent of meeting, the holy place, and (M)of assisting the sons of Aaron their relatives, for the service of the house of the Lord.
