¹⁴ Kore son of Imnah the Levite, keeper of the East Gate, was in charge of the freewill offerings given to God, distributing the contributions made to the Lord and also the consecrated gifts.

¹³ I put Shelemiah the priest, Zadok the scribe, and a Levite named Pedaiah in charge of the storerooms and made Hanan son of Zakkur, the son of Mattaniah, their assistant, because they were considered trustworthy. They were made responsible for distributing the supplies to their fellow Levites.^(A)

⁵ After that, they presented the regular burnt offerings, the New Moon^(A) sacrifices and the sacrifices for all the appointed sacred festivals of the Lord,^(B) as well as those brought as freewill offerings to the Lord.

¹⁷ There were six Levites a day on the east, four a day on the north, four a day on the south and two at a time at the storehouse.

¹⁴ The lot for the East Gate^(A) fell to Shelemiah.^[a] Then lots were cast for his son Zechariah,^(B) a wise counselor, and the lot for the North Gate fell to him.

¹² These divisions of the gatekeepers, through their leaders, had duties for ministering^(A) in the temple of the Lord, just as their relatives had.

¹⁰ Then celebrate the Festival of Weeks to the Lord your God by giving a freewill offering in proportion to the blessings the Lord your God has given you.
