There were keepers of the doors on the four sides, to the east, west, north, and south.

And the care of the door on the east came out for Shelemiah. Then the name of Zechariah his son, a man wise in discussion, came out, and the door on the north was given to him.

On the east were six Levites a day, and on the north and the south four a day, and for the store-house two and two.
