22 All these [who were] chosen to be porters in the gates [were] two hundred and twelve. These were reckoned by their genealogy in their villages, whom David and Samuel the seer ordained in their set office.
23 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.
24 In four quarters were the porters, towards the east, west, north and south.
25 And their brethren, [who were] in their villages, [were] to come after seven days from time to time with them.
26 For these Levites, the four chief porters, were in [their] set office, and were over the chambers and treasuries of the house of God.
