Olam 2

And their brethren, <i>which were</i> in their villages, <i>were</i> to come after seven days from time to time with them.

For these Levites, the four chief porters, were in <i>their</i> set office, and were over the chambers and treasuries of the house of God.

And they lodged round about the house of God, because the charge <i>was</i> upon them, and the opening thereof every morning <i>pertained</i> to them.

And <i>certain</i> of them had the charge of the ministering vessels, that they should bring them in and out by tale.

<i>Some</i> of them also <i>were</i> appointed to oversee the vessels, and all the instruments of the sanctuary, and the fine flour, and the wine, and the oil, and the frankincense, and the spices.

And <i>some</i> of the sons of the priests made the ointment of the spices.

And Mattithiah, <i>one</i> of the Levites, who <i>was</i> the firstborn of Shallum the Korahite, had the set office over the things that were made in the pans.

And <i>other</i> of their brethren, of the sons of the Kohathites, <i>were</i> over the shewbread, to prepare <i>it</i> every sabbath.

And these <i>are</i> the singers, chief of the fathers of the Levites, <i>who remaining</i> in the chambers <i>were</i> free: for they were employed in <i>that</i> work day and night.

These chief fathers of the Levites <i>were</i> chief throughout their generations; these dwelt at Jerusalem.
