23. So they and their sons were over the gates of the house of Yahweh at the house of the tent as guards.
24. The gatekeepers were on four sides: east, west, north, and south.
25. And their brethren in their villages were to come every seven days by turn to be with these.
26. For the four mighty gatekeepers, they who were Levites, were entrusted and were over the chambers and over the storerooms of the house of God.
27. And they lodged all around the house of God, for upon them was a responsibility. And they had charge of opening the house of God every morning.
28. And some of them were over the utensils of the service, for they count them when they are brought in and they count them when they are brought out.
29. And some of them were appointed over the objects, over the objects of the sanctuary, and over the wheat flour and the wine, the olive oil, the frankincense, and the spices.
30. And some of the sons of the priests mixed the fragrant ointment for the spices.
31. And Mattithiah, one of the Levites, was the firstborn of Shallum the Korahite and was entrusted with the work of the pan breads.
32. And from the sons of the Kohathites, some of their kinsmen were over the showbread to prepare it every Sabbath.
33. Now these were the singers; the heads of the families of the Levites were in the chambers free from other service, for day and night they were over them on the service.
