Contextual Overview

24 These were Levi's descendants listed by their families. They were the leaders of families. Each person who was twenty years old or older was listed. They served in the Lord 's Temple. 25 David had said, "The Lord , the God of Israel, has given rest to his people. He has come to live in Jerusalem forever. 26 So the Levites don't need to carry the Holy Tent or any of the things used in its services anymore." 27 David's last instructions were to count the Levites who were twenty years old and older. 28 The Levites had the job of helping Aaron's descendants in the service of the Temple of the Lord . They cared for the Temple courtyard and side rooms, and they made all the holy things pure. Their job was to serve in the Temple of God. 29 They were responsible for putting the holy bread on the table, for the flour in the grain offerings, for the bread made without yeast, for the baking and mixing, and for the measuring. 30 The Levites also stood every morning and gave thanks and praise to the Lord . They also did this every evening. 31 The Levites offered all the burnt offerings to the Lord on the special days of rest, at the New Moon festivals, and at all appointed feasts. They served before the Lord every day. They were to follow the rules for how many Levites should serve each time. 32 So the Levites took care of the Meeting Tent and the Holy Place. And they helped their relatives, Aaron's descendants, with the services at the Temple of the Lord .

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Because their office was to wait on the sons of Aaron,.... The priests:

for the service of the house of the Lord; to assist them therein, and not to bear burdens as in times past; the Targum is,

"wherefore the place of their habitations was by the side of the sons of Aaron, for the worship of the sanctuary of the Lord:''

in the courts, and in the chambers, and in the purifying of all holy things, and the work of the service of the house of God; to keep the house, and all the apartments in it, courts and chambers, clean, by sweeping and washing them, and carrying out all the filth thereof made by the sacrifices, and otherwise.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 1 Chronicles 23:28. Purifying of all holy things — Keeping all the vessels and utensils belonging to the sacred service clean and neat.
