Numbers 8:23-26
Lexham English Bible
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.”

New International Version
23 The Lord said to Moses, 24 “This applies to the Levites: Men twenty-five years old or more(A) shall come to take part in the work at the tent of meeting,(B) 25 but at the age of fifty,(C) they must retire from their regular service and work no longer. 26 They may assist their brothers in performing their duties at the tent of meeting, but they themselves must not do the work.(D) This, then, is how you are to assign the responsibilities of the Levites.”
