9:26 The four head gatekeepers, who were Levites, were assigned to guard the storerooms and treasuries in God’s sanctuary. 1 9:27 They would spend the night in their posts all around God’s sanctuary, 2 for they were assigned to guard it and would open it with the key every morning.
9:28 Some of them were in charge of the articles used by those who served; they counted them when they brought them in and when they brought them out. 3 9:29 Some of them were in charge of the equipment and articles of the sanctuary, 4 as well as the flour, wine, olive oil, incense, and spices.
