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.”

Numbers 8:23-26
New Living Translation
23 The Lord also instructed Moses, 24 “This is the rule the Levites must follow: They must begin serving in the Tabernacle at the age of twenty-five, 25 and they must retire at the age of fifty. 26 After retirement they may assist their fellow Levites by serving as guards at the Tabernacle, but they may not officiate in the service. This is how you must assign duties to the Levites.”
