22 All of those who are chosen for gatekeepers at the thresholds are two hundred and twelve; they are in their villages, by their genealogy; they whom David and Samuel the seer appointed in their office. 23 And they and their sons are over the gates of the house of Jehovah, even of the house of the tent, by watches. 24 At four sides are the gatekeepers, east, west, north, and south. 25 And their brethren in their villages are to come in for seven days from time to time with these. 26 For in office are the four chiefs of the gatekeepers, they are Levites, and they have been over the chambers, and over the treasuries of the house of God, 27 and round about the house of God they lodge, for on them is the watch, and they are over the opening, even morning by morning. 28 And some of them are over the vessels of service, for by number they bring them in, and by number they take them out. 29 And some of them are appointed over the vessels, even over all the vessels of the sanctuary, and over the fine flour, and the wine, and the oil, and the frankincense, and the spices. 30 And some of the sons of the priests are mixing the mixture for spices. 31 And Mattithiah, of the Levites (he is the first-born to Shallum the Korahite), is in office over the work of the pans. 32 And of the sons of the Kohathite, some of their brethren are over the bread of the arrangement, to prepare it sabbath by sabbath. 33 And these who sing, heads of fathers of the Levites, in the chambers, are free, for by day and by night they are over them in the work. 1 Chronicles 9:22-33, Young's Literal Translation.
