Numbers 8:23-26
Amplified Bible
Retirement
23 Now the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 24 “This is what applies to the Levites: from twenty-five years old and upward they shall enter to perform service in the work of the Tent of Meeting, 25 but at the age of fifty years, they shall [a]retire from the service of the [tabernacle] work and serve no longer. 26 They may assist their brothers in the Tent of Meeting to keep an obligation, but they shall do no [heavy or difficult] work. Thus you shall deal with the Levites concerning their obligations.”

Retirement for the Levites
23 Now the Lord 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 service in the work of the tent of meeting. 25 But at the age of fifty years they shall [b]retire from service in the work and not work anymore. 26 They may, however, [c]assist their brothers in the tent of meeting, (B)to fulfill an obligation, but they themselves shall do no work. In this way you shall deal with the Levites in their obligations.”
