Thus you shall do with the Levites in assigning their duties.”

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.”
