and the Levites were over the chambers, and they keep watch over the treasures of the house of God. 27 For the charge [was] upon them, and these [were] charged with the keys to open the doors of the temple every morning. 28 And [some] of them [were appointed] over the vessels of service, that they should carry them in by number, and carry them out by number. 29 And [some] of them [were] appointed over the furniture, and over all the holy vessels, and over the fine flour, the wine, the oil, the frankincense, and the spices. 30 And some of the priests were makers of the ointment, and [appointed to prepare] the spices. 31 And Matthathias of the Levites, (he [was] the first-born of Salom the Corite,) [was set] in charge over the sacrifices of meat-offering of the pan belonging to the high priest. 32 And Banaias the Caathite, from among their brethren, [was set] over the shewbread, to prepare it every sabbath. 33 And these [were] the singers, heads of families of the Levites, [to whom were] established daily courses, for they were employed in the services day and night. 34 These [were] the heads of the families of the Levites according to their generations;
