Retirement of the Levites
23 Now Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 24 “This is what applies to the Levites: from (A)twenty-five years old and upward [a]they shall enter to perform their duty in the service of the tent of meeting. 25 But at the age of fifty years they shall [b]retire from their duty in the service and not serve anymore. 26 They may, however, minister to their brothers in the tent of meeting (B)in order to keep up their responsibility, but they themselves shall perform no service. Thus you shall deal with the Levites concerning their responsibilities.”

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.
