1 Chronicles 23:26-28

New Catholic Bible

²⁶ The Levites therefore no longer have to carry the tabernacle or any of the articles used in its service.”

²⁷ Thus, according to the last instructions of David, the Levites who were twenty years or older were counted. ²⁸ Their responsibility was to assist the sons of Aaron in the service of the temple of the Lord, to be in charge of the courtyard and the inner chambers, to purify all of the holy things, and to fulfill other tasks in the temple of the Lord.
