22. All of them were chosen as gatekeepers at the entrances, two hundred and twelve. They were enrolled by genealogies in their villages. They were established by David and Samuel the seer on account of their faithfulness.
23. So they and their sons were over the gates of the house of Yahweh at the house of the tent as guards.
24. The gatekeepers were on four sides: east, west, north, and south.
25. And their brethren in their villages were to come every seven days by turn to be with these.
26. For the four mighty gatekeepers, they who were Levites, were entrusted and were over the chambers and over the storerooms of the house of God.
27. And they lodged all around the house of God, for upon them was a responsibility. And they had charge of opening the house of God every morning.
