²³ So they and their children had the oversight of the gates of the house of Yahweh, even the house of the tent, by wards.

³² and that they should keep the charge of the tent of meeting, and the charge of the holy place, and the charge of the sons of Aaron their brothers, for the service of the house of Yahweh.

¹⁹ He set the porters at the gates of the house of Yahweh, that no one who was unclean in anything should enter in.

⁴⁵ They kept the charge of their God, and the charge of the purification, and [so did] the singers and the porters, according to the commandment of David, and of Solomon his son.

¹⁰ But the Levites who went far from me, when Israel went astray, who went astray from me after their idols, they shall bear their iniquity.

¹¹ Yet they shall be ministers in my sanctuary, having oversight at the gates of the house, and ministering in the house: they shall kill the burnt offering and the sacrifice for the people, and they shall stand before them to minister to them.

¹⁴ Yet will I make them keepers of the charge of the house, for all the service of it, and for all that shall be done therein.
