1 Chronicles 9:28-29
28Some of them had charge of the utensils of service, for they were required to count them when they were brought in and taken out. 29Others of them were appointed over the furniture and over all the holy utensils, also over the afine flour, the wine, the oil, the incense, and the spices.2 Chronicles 29:5
5and said to them, “Hear me, Levites! Now bconsecrate yourselves, and consecrate the house of the Lord, the God of your fathers, and carry out the filth from the Holy Place.2 Chronicles 29:18-19
18Then they went in to Hezekiah the king and said, “We have cleansed all the house of the Lord, the altar of burnt offering and all its utensils, and the table for the showbread and all its utensils. 19All the utensils cthat King Ahaz discarded in his reign when he was faithless, we have made ready and consecrated, and behold, they are before the altar of the Lord.”2 Chronicles 35:3-6
3And he said to the Levites dwho taught all Israel and who were holy to the Lord, “Put the holy ark in the house that Solomon the son of David, king of Israel, built. You need not carry it on your shoulders. Now serve the Lord your God and his people Israel. 4Prepare yourselves eaccording to your fathers’ houses by your divisions, fas prescribed in the writing of David king of Israel gand the document of Solomon his son. 5And hstand in the Holy Place iaccording to the groupings of the fathers’ houses of your brothers the lay people, and according to the division of the Levites by fathers’ household. 6And slaughter the Passover lamb, and jconsecrate yourselves, and prepare for your brothers, to do according to the word of the Lord by Moses.”2 Chronicles 35:11-14
11 kAnd they slaughtered the Passover lamb, and the priests lthrew the blood that they received from them mwhile the Levites flayed the sacrifices. 12And they set aside the burnt offerings that they might distribute them according to the groupings of the fathers’ houses of the lay people, to offer to the Lord, as it is written in the Book of Moses. And so they did with the bulls. 13 nAnd they roasted the Passover lamb with fire according to the rule; and they oboiled the holy offerings in pots, in cauldrons, and in pans, and carried them quickly to all the lay people. 14And afterward they prepared for themselves and for the priests, because the priests, the sons of Aaron, were offering the burnt offerings and the fat parts until night; so the Levites prepared for themselves and for the priests, the sons of Aaron.
