26And from now, there will be no need for the House of the Lord, and the vessels used in it, to be moved about by the Levites.
27So among the last acts of David was the numbering of the sons of Levi, from twenty years old and over.
28Their place was by the side of the sons of Aaron in all the work of the house of the Lord, in the open spaces and in the rooms, in the making clean of all the holy things, in doing all the work of the house of the Lord,
29The holy bread was in their care, and the crushed grain for the meal offering, of unleavened cakes or meal cooked over the fire or in water; they had control of all sorts of weights and measures;
30They had to take their places every morning to give praise and make melody to the Lord, and in the same way at evening;
31At every offering of burned offerings to the Lord, on Sabbaths, and at the new moons, and on the regular feasts, in the number ordered by the law, at all times before the Lord;
32And they had the care of the Tent of meeting and the holy place, under the direction of the sons of Aaron their brothers, for the work of the house of the Lord.
