American Standard Version
23 And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying, 24 This is that which belongeth unto the Levites: from twenty and five years old and upward they shall go in [a]to wait upon the service in the work of the tent of meeting: 25 and from the age of fifty years they shall [b]cease waiting upon the work, and shall serve no more, 26 but shall minister with their brethren in the tent of meeting, to keep the charge, and shall do no service. Thus shalt thou do unto the Levites touching their charges.

Lexham English Bible
23 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 24 “This is what is for the Levites: those twenty-five years old[a] and above will[b] come to help with the service in the work of the tent of assembly; 25 and those fifty years old[c] will[d] return from the service of the work and will serve no longer. 26 They[e] can attend[f] their brothers in the tent of assembly to keep their responsibilities, but they[g] will not do work. This is what you will do concerning the Levities and their responsibilities.”
