1Ch 26:5 | MHM | STEP | v. 5 : Like the singers, the porters were given their specific assignments by lot, so everyone knew their place (1 Chronicles 26:13 ). There are about twenty-four names listed for these jobs (1 Chronicles 26:1-11 ), and twenty-four posts to fill (1 Chronicles 26:17-18 ). It is likely they were divided into twenty-four groups. Those who serve in God’s house are well cared for, taught, and protected. In the temple, people guarded the gates, but in heaven, angels stand at the gates (Revelation 21:12 ).
