24 aThese were the sons of Levi by their fathershouses, the heads of fathers’ houses bas they were listed according to the number of the names of the individuals from ctwenty years old and upward who were to do the work for the service of the house of the Lord. 25For David said, “The Lord, the God of Israel, dhas given rest to his people, and he dwells in Jerusalem forever. 26And so the Levites no longer need eto carry the tabernacle or any of the things for its service.” 27For by the last words of David the sons of Levi were numbered from ftwenty years old and upward. 28For their duty was to assist the sons of Aaron for the service of the house of the Lord, having the care of the courts and the chambers, the cleansing of all that is holy, and any work for the service of the house of God. 29Their duty was also to assist with the gshowbread, the hflour for the grain offering, the wafers of unleavened bread, the ibaked offering, the joffering mixed with oil, and all kmeasures of quantity or size. 30And they were to stand every morning, thanking and praising the Lord, and likewise at evening, 31and whenever burnt offerings were offered to the Lord lon Sabbaths, mnew moons, and feast days, naccording to the number required of them, regularly before the Lord. 32Thus othey were to keep charge of the tent of meeting and the sanctuary, and to attend the sons of Aaron, their brothers, for the pservice of the house of the Lord.
