Numbers 8:23-26
New International Version
23 The Lord said to Moses, 24 “This applies to the Levites: Men twenty-five years old or more(A) shall come to take part in the work at the tent of meeting,(B) 25 but at the age of fifty,(C) they must retire from their regular service and work no longer. 26 They may assist their brothers in performing their duties at the tent of meeting, but they themselves must not do the work.(D) This, then, is how you are to assign the responsibilities of the Levites.”
Numbers 8:23-26
International Standard Version
Age Restrictions for the Descendants of Levi
23 Later, the Lord told Moses, 24 “Now regarding a descendant of Levi who is 25 years and above, he is to enter work in the service at the appointed place of meeting, 25 but starting at 50 years of age, he is to retire from service and is no longer to work. 26 He may minister to his brothers at the Tent of Meeting by keeping watch, but he is not to engage in service. This is how you are to act with respect to the obligations of the descendants of Levi.”
