22 All those chosen as gatekeepers at the thresholds were two hundred and twelve. They were registered by genealogy, in their villages. Dawiḏ and Shemu’ĕl the seer had appointed them to their office of trust.
23 So they and their sons were over the gates of the House of יהוה, the House of the Tent, by watches.
24 The gatekeepers were on the four sides: the east, west, north, and south.
25 And their brothers in their villages had to come with them from time to time for seven days.
26 For the four chief gatekeepers were in an office of trust. They were Lĕwites, and they were over the rooms and treasuries of the House of Elohim.
27 And they spent the night all around the House of Elohim because they had the duty, and they were to open it morning by morning.
28 And some of them were over the vessels of service, for they brought them in and took them out by count.
