1 Chronicles 23:26-28

New International Reader's Version

²⁶ So the Levites don’t need to carry the holy tent anymore. They don’t need to carry any of its objects anymore. Those were the things that were used to serve there.” ²⁷ The Levites who were 20 years old or more were counted. That was in keeping with David’s final directions.

²⁸ The Levites had the duty of helping the members of Aaron’s family line. They helped them serve in the Lord’s temple. They were in charge of the courtyards and the side rooms. They made all the sacred things pure and “clean.” They also had other duties at the house of God.
