6 “Bring the tribe of Leʹvi+ forward, and stand them before Aaron the priest, and they will minister+ to him. 7 They are to fulfill their responsibilities toward him and toward all the assembly before the tent of meeting by carrying out their service in connection with the tabernacle. 8 They are to take care of all the utensils+ of the tent of meeting and to carry out their responsibilities toward the Israelites by taking care of the services related to the tabernacle.+

22 All those selected as gatekeepers at the thresholds numbered 212. They were in their settlements by their genealogical enrollment.+ David and Samuel the seer+ appointed these to their office of trust. 23 They and their sons were over the guard service for the gates of the house of Jehovah,+ the house of the tent.
