Of these, twenty and four thousand were to oversee the work of the house of the LORD; and six thousand were officers and judges:
5 Ji alufu angʼwen, to noket jorit rangeye, kendo ji alufu angʼwen mamoko, to noket jopak Jehova Nyasaye gi thumbe ma asechiwo nikech tijni.”

For David said, The LORD, the God of Israel, hath given rest unto his people; and he dwelleth in Jerusalem for ever:

and also the Levites shall no more have need to carry the tabernacle and all the vessels of it for the service thereof.
