23 So they and their children had the oversight of the gates of Yahweh’s house, even the house of the tent, by wards.
24 On the four sides were the porters, toward the east, west, north, and south.
25 Their brothers, in their villages, were to come in every seven days from time to time to be with them:
26 for the four chief porters, who were Levites, were in an office of trust, and were over the rooms and over the treasuries in God’s house.
27 They stayed around God’s house, because that duty was on them; and to their duty was its opening morning by morning.
28 Certain of them were in charge of the vessels of service; for these were brought in by count, and these were taken out by count.
29 Some of them also were appointed over the furniture, and over all the vessels of the sanctuary, over the fine flour, the wine, the oil, the frankincense, and the spices.
