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.”

New King James Version
23 Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 24 “This is what pertains to the Levites: (A)From twenty-five years old and above one may enter to perform service in the work of the tabernacle of meeting; 25 and at the age of fifty years they must cease performing this work, and shall work no more. 26 They may minister with their brethren in the tabernacle of meeting, (B)to attend to needs, but they themselves shall do no work. Thus you shall do to the Levites regarding their duties.”
