1 Chronicles 23:27-29

New International Reader's Version

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. ²⁹ They were in charge of setting the holy bread out on the table. They prepared the special flour for the grain offerings. They made the thin loaves without using any yeast. They did the baking and the mixing. They measured the amount and size of everything.
