²³So they and their children had the ouersight of the gates of the house of the Lord, namely, the house of the Tabernacle, by wards.

²⁴In foure quarters were the porters: toward the East, West, North, and South.

²⁵And their brethren, which were in their villages, were to come after seuen dayes, from time to time with them.

²⁶For these Leuites, the foure chiefe porters, were in their set office, and were ouer the chambers and treasuries of the house of God.

²⁷And they lodged round about the house of God, because the charge was vpon them, and the opening thereof euery morning, perteined to them.
