Numbers 8:23-26
Christian Standard Bible
23 The Lord spoke to Moses: 24 “In regard to the Levites: From twenty-five years old or more, a man enters the service in the work at the tent of meeting.(A) 25 But at fifty years old he is to retire from his service in the work and no longer serve. 26 He may assist his brothers to fulfill responsibilities[a] at the tent of meeting,(B) but he must not do the work. This is how you are to deal with the Levites regarding their duties.”

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.”
