Of these, twenty-four thousand were to preside over the work of the house of Jehovah; and six thousand were officers and judges;

These were the sons of Levi according to their fathers' houses, the chief fathers, as they were reckoned, by number of names by their polls, who did the work of the service of the house of Jehovah, from twenty years old and upward.
25 David el fahk, “LEUM GOD lun Israel El sang misla nu sin mwet lal, ac El ac fah sifacna muta in Jerusalem ma pahtpat.
For David said, Jehovah the God of Israel has given rest to his people, and he will dwell in Jerusalem for ever;
26 Ke ma inge, mwet Levi elos tia sifil enenu in us Lohm Nuknuk sin LEUM GOD ac ma orekmakinyuk ke pacl in alu.”
and the Levites also have no more to carry the tabernacle, nor any of its vessels for its service.
27 Ke sripen oakwuk safla lal David inge, mwet Levi nukewa elos enenu in simla inelos ac akola nu ke moul in kulansap ke elos sun yac longoul.
For by the last words of David was this [done], — the numbering of the sons of Levi from twenty years old and upward.

and for the loaves to be set in rows, and for the fine flour for the oblation, and for the unleavened cakes, and for [what is baked in] the pan, and for that which is saturated [with oil], and for all measure of capacity and size;
30 Elos pa oru on in kaksak nu sin LEUM GOD ke lotutang ac eku nukewa,

and they kept the charge of the tent of meeting, and the charge of the sanctuary, and the charge of the sons of Aaron their brethren, in the service of the house of Jehovah.
