As well them as their sons, to keep the gates of the
house of the Lord, and the tabernacle by their turns.
In four quarters were the porters: that is to say, toward
the east, and west, and north, and south.
And their brethren dwelt in villages, and came upon
their sabbath days from time to time.
To these four Levites were committed the whole number
of the porters, and they were over the chambers, and
treasures, of the house of the Lord.
And they abode in their watches round about the temple
of the Lord: that when it was time, they might open
