Numbers 8:23-26
English Standard Version
Retirement of the Levites
23 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 24 “This applies to the Levites: (A)from twenty-five years old and upward they[a] shall come to do duty in the service of the tent of meeting. 25 And from the age of fifty years they shall withdraw from the duty of the service and serve no more. 26 They minister[b] to their brothers in the tent of meeting (B)by keeping guard, but they shall do no service. Thus shall you do to the Levites in assigning their duties.”

Common English Bible
23 The Lord spoke to Moses: 24 This rule applies[a] to the Levites: Everyone 25 years old and above will enter into service, performing the duties for the meeting tent. 25 At 50 years old each will retire from service. They will perform their duties no longer. 26 Each may assist his fellow Levites in the meeting tent with some responsibilities, but he may not perform service. This is how you should assign responsibilities to the Levites.
