5 And he commanded them, saying, This is it that ye must do, The third part of [a]you, that cometh on the Sabbath, shall [b]ward toward the King’s house:
6 And another third part in the gate of [c]Sur: and another third part in the gate behind them of the guard: and ye shall keep watch [d]in the house of Massah.
7 And two parts of you, that is, all that [e]go out on the Sabbath day, shall keep the watch of the house of the Lord about the king.
