24 These were the sons of aLevi by their fathers’ houses—the heads of the fathers’ houses as they were counted individually by the number of their names, who did the work for the service of the house of the Lord, from the age of btwenty years and above.
25 For David said, “The Lord God of Israel ahas given rest to His people, that they may dwell in Jerusalem forever”;
26 and also to the Levites, “They shall no longer acarry the tabernacle, or any of the articles for its service.”
27 For by the alast words of David the Levites were numbered from twenty years old and above;
28 because their duty was to help the sons of Aaron in the service of the house of the Lord, in the courts and in the chambers, in the purifying of all holy things and the work of the service of the house of God,
29 both with athe showbread and bthe fine flour for the grain offering, with cthe unleavened cakes and dwhat is baked in the pan, with what is mixed and with all kinds of emeasures and sizes;
30 to stand every morning to thank and praise the Lord, and likewise at evening;
31 and at every presentation of a burnt offering to the Lord aon the Sabbaths and on the New Moons and on the bset feasts, by number according to the ordinance governing them, regularly before the Lord;
32 and that they should aattend to the bneeds of the tabernacle of meeting, the needs of the holy place, and the cneeds of the sons of Aaron their brethren in the work of the house of the Lord.
