1 Chronicles 23:21-32

Chapter 23
21 The sons of Merari: Mahli and Mushi. The sons of Mahli: Eleazar and Kish. 22 And Eleazar died, and he had no sons but daughters, and their brothers' sons of Kish took them. 23 The sons of Moses: Mahli, Eder, and Jerimoth—three. 24 These sons of Levi, heads of their fathers' houses in their musterings, in number by their names, by their polls, to do the work for the service of the house of the LORD, from twenty years old and upward. 25 For David said, "The LORD God of Israel has given rest to his people, and he will dwell in Jerusalem forever." 26 And the Levites no longer need to bear the tabernacle and all its utensils for its service. 27 For by the last words of David, this is the number of the sons of Levi from twenty years old and upward. 28 for their standing is at the hand of the sons of Aaron for the service of the house of the LORD, over the courts and over the chambers and over the purification of all holy things and work of service of the house of God. 29 and for the bread of the arrangement and for the fine flour for the grain offering and for the thin cakes of the unleavened bread and for the flat pan and for the lattice and for every regulation and measure. 30 and to stand every morning to give thanks and to praise to the LORD, and likewise every evening 31 And for all the burnt offerings to the LORD on the Sabbaths, on the new moons, and on the appointed times, by number according to the judgment upon them continually before the LORD. 32 And they shall keep the charge of the tent of meeting, the charge of the holy portion, and the charge of the sons of Aaron their brothers for the service of the temple of the LORD.
