The sons of Mushi: Mahli, and Eder, and Jeremoth, three.
24
These were the sons of Levi after their fathers' houses, even the heads of the fathers' houses, according to their muster, in the number of names by their polls, who did the work for the service of the house of HaShem, from twenty years old and upward.
25
For David said: 'The HaShem, the G-d of Israel, hath given rest unto His people, and He dwelleth in Jerusalem for ever;
26
and also the Levites shall no more have need to carry the tabernacle and all the vessels of it for the service thereof.'
27
For by the last ordinances of David the sons of Levi were numbered from twenty years old and upward.
28
For their station was at the side of the sons of Aaron for the service of the house of HaShem, in the courts, and in the chambers, and in the purifying of all holy things, even the work of the service of the house of G-d;
29
for the showbread also, and for the fine flour for a meal-offering, whether of unleavened wafers, or of that which is baked on the griddle, or of that which is soaked, and for all manner of measure and size;
30
and to stand every morning to thank and praise HaShem, and likewise at even;
31
and to offer all burnt-offerings unto HaShem, on the sabbaths, on the new moons, and in the appointed seasons, in number according to the ordinance concerning them, continually, before HaShem;
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 brethren, for the service of the house of HaShem.
