1 Chronicles 23:24-32 - The Levites' Work

²⁴ These are the children of Levi in the households of their fathers the ancient heads, viewed and numbered by name and poll by poll from twenty year and above, to work in the service of the house of the LORD. ²⁵ For David said, "The LORD God of Israel hath given rest unto his people, and they shall dwell in Jerusalem forever. ²⁶ Moreover, the Levites should now no more bear the tabernacle and all the vessels that pertain to the service thereof." - ²⁷ But at the last commandment of David, the Levites were numbered from twenty years and above - ²⁸ "To wait at the hands of the sons of Aaron in the service of the house of the LORD, and to have the oversight of the courts and of the store houses, and of the purifying of all holy things, and of the work of the things that served for the house of God, ²⁹ as the shewbread, the fine flour, the meat offerings, the flawnes of sweet bread, and of the things baken in the frying pan, or broiled on the gridiron, and on all manner measures and size ³⁰ and to wait every morning to thank and praise the LORD, and likewise at evening. ³¹ And to wait on every offering of burnt sacrifices unto the LORD, the Sabbaths and first days of the months, and other feastful days by number and custom, was their office ever before the LORD. ³² And that they should wait on the tabernacle of witness and on the holy place, and on the sons of Aaron their brethren, in the service of the house of the LORD.
