the son of Galal ,
the son of Jeduthun ,
and Berechiah the son of Asa ,
the son of Elkanah ,
that dwelt in the villages of the Netophathites .
*
And the porters were ,
Shallum ,
and Akkub ,
and Talmon ,
and Ahiman ,
and their brethren :
Shallum was the chief ro #

*
Who hitherto waited in the kings gate eastward :
they were porters in the companies of the children of Levi .
*
And Shallum the son of Kore ,
the son of Ebiasaph ,
the son of Korah ,
and his brethren ,
of the house of his father ,
the Korahites ,
were over the work of the service ,
keepers of the gates of the tabernacle :
and their fathers ,
being over the host of the LORD ,
were keepers of the entry .
*
And Phinehas the son of Eleazar #
El #

was the ruler over them in time past ,
and the LORD was with him .
*
And Zechariah the son of Meshelemiah was porter of the door of the tabernacle of the congregation mow #

*
All these which were chosen to be porters in the gates were two hundred and twelve sh @
nayim #.
These were reckoned by their genealogy in their villages ,
whom David and Samuel the seer did ordain in their set office .
*
So they and their children had the oversight of the gates of the house of the LORD ,
namely ,
the house of the tabernacle ,
by wards .
*
In four quarters were the porters show #
er #,
toward the east ,
west ,
north ,
and south .
*
And their brethren ,
which were in their villages ,
were to come after seven days from time to time with them .
*
For these Levites ,
the four chief porters show #
er #,
were in their set office ,
and were over the chambers and treasuries of the house of God .
*
And they lodged round about the house of God ,
because the charge was upon them ,
and the opening thereof every morning pertained to them .
*
And certain of them had the charge of the ministering vessels ,
that they should bring them in and out by tale micpar #.
*
Some of them also were appointed to oversee the vessels ,
and all the instruments of the sanctuary ,
and the fine flour ,
and the wine ,
and the oil ,
and the frankincense ,
and the spices .
*
And some of the sons of the priests made the ointment of the spices .
*
And Mattithiah ,
one of the Levites ,
who was the firstborn of Shallum the Korahite ,
had the set office over the things that were made in the pans .
*
And other of their brethren ,
of the sons of the Kohathites ,
were over the shewbread lechem #

to prepare it every sabbath .
