that is ,
the house of the tent ,
as guards .
*
The gatekeepers were on the four sides ,
east ,
west ,
north ,
and south ;
*
and their kinsmen who were in their villages were obliged to come in every seven days ,
from time to time ,
to be with these ;
*
for the four chief gatekeepers ,
who were Levites ,
were in charge of the chambers and the treasures of the house of God .
*
And they lodged round about the house of God ;
for upon them lay the duty of watching ,
and they had charge of opening it every morning .
