20. And Phinees the son of Eleazar, was their prince before the Lord,
21. And Zacharias the son of Mosollamia, was porter of the gate of the tabernacle of the testimony:
22. All these that were chosen to be porters at the gates, were two hundred and twelve: and they mere registered in their proper towns: whom David and Samuel the seer appointed in their trust.
23. As well them as their sons, to keep the gates of the house of the Lord, and the tabernacle by their turns.
24. In four quarters were the porters: that is to say, toward the east, and west, and north, and south.
25. And their brethren dwelt in villages, and came upon their sabbath days from time to time.
26. To these four Levites were committed the whole number of the porters, and they were over the chambers, and treasures, of the house of the Lord.
27. And they abode in their watches round about the temple of the Lord: that when it was time, they might open the gates in the morning.
28. And some of their stock had the charge of the vessels for the ministry: for the vessels were both brought in and carried out by number.
