1 Chronicles 9:22-33 ▼

22 All of those who are chosen for gatekeepers at the thresholds [are] two hundred and twelve; they [are] in their villages, by their genealogy; they whom David and Samuel the seer appointed in their office.

23 And they and their sons [are] over the gates of the house of YHWH, even of the house of the tent, by watches.

24 The gatekeepers are at [the] four sides: east, west, north, and south.

25 And their brothers in their villages [are] to come in with these for seven days from time to time.

26 For the four chiefs of the gatekeepers in office, they are Levites, and they have been over the chambers, and over the treasuries of the house of God,

27 and they lodge around the house of God, for the watch [is] on them, and they [are] over the opening, even morning by morning.

28 And [some] of them [are] over the vessels of service, for they bring them in by number, and by number they take them out.

29 And [some] of them are appointed over the vessels, even over all the vessels of the holy place, and over the fine flour, and the wine, and the oil, and the frankincense, and the spices.

30 And [some] of the sons of the priests are mixing the mixture for spices.

31 And Mattithiah of the Levites (he [is] the firstborn to Shallum the Korahite), [is] in office over the work of the pans.

32 And of the sons of the Kohathite, [some] of their brothers [are] over the bread of the arrangement, to prepare [it] Sabbath by Sabbath.

33 And these who sing, heads of fathers of the Levites, in the chambers, [are] free, for [they are] over them in the work by day and by night.
