1 Chronicles 23:28

Verse 28 of 32. The 23rd of 29 chapters in 1 Chronicles, in History.

24These were the sons of Levi after their fathers’ houses, even the heads of the fathers’ houses of those who were counted individually, in the number of names by their polls, who did the work for the service of the LORD’s house, from twenty years old and upward.

25For David said, “The LORD, the God of Israel, has given rest to his people; and he dwells in Jerusalem forever.

26Also the Levites will no longer need to carry the tabernacle and all its vessels for its service.”

27For by the last words of David the sons of Levi were counted, from twenty years old and upward.

28For their duty was to wait on the sons of Aaron for the service of the LORD’s house—in the courts, in the rooms, and in the purifying of all holy things, even the work of the service of God’s house;

29for the show bread also, and for the fine flour for a meal offering, whether of unleavened wafers, or of that which is baked in the pan, or of that which is soaked, and for all measurements of quantity and size;

30and to stand every morning to thank and praise the LORD, and likewise in the evening;

31and to offer all burnt offerings to the LORD on the Sabbaths, on the new moons, and on the set feasts, in number according to the ordinance concerning them, continually before the LORD;

32and that they should keep the duty of the Tent of Meeting, the duty of the holy place, and the duty of the sons of Aaron their brothers for the service of the LORD’s house.
