Common English Bible

³ Next Josiah ordered the Levites, who were holy to the Lord and who instructed all Israel: “Put the holy chest in the temple built by Israel’s King Solomon, David’s son. You don’t need to carry it around on your shoulders anymore. Now serve the Lord your God and his people Israel. ⁴ Organize yourselves by families according to your divisions, as directed by Israel’s King David and his son Solomon. ⁵ Stand in the sanctuary, according to the family divisions of your relatives the laypeople, so that there can be Levites for each family division.^[a]
