Numbers 8:24

Numbers 8:24

22 ^aAfter that the Levites went in to do their work in the tabernacle of meeting before Aaron and his sons; ^bas the Lord commanded Moses concerning the Levites, so they did to them.

23 Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

24 “This is what pertains to the Levites: ^aFrom twenty-five years old and above one may enter to perform service in the work of the tabernacle of meeting;

25 and at the age of fifty years they must cease performing this work, and shall work no more.

26 They may minister with their brethren in the tabernacle of meeting, ^ato attend to needs, but they themselves shall do no work. Thus you shall do to the Levites regarding their duties.”
