2Having set the priests according to their daily courses, being arrayed in long garments, in the temple of Yahuah (God).

3And he spoke to the Levites, the holy ministers of Yashar'el (Israel), that they should hallow themselves to Yahuah (God), to set the holy ark of Yahuah (God) in the house that king Solomon the son of David had built:

4And said, You shall no more bear the ark upon your shoulders: now therefore serve Yahuah (God), your Elohim (God), and minister to his people Yashar'el (Israel), and prepare you after your families and kindreds,

5According as David the king of Yashar'el (Israel) prescribed, and according to the magnificence of Solomon his son: and standing in the temple according to the several dignity of the families of you the Levites, who minister in the presence of your brothers the children of Yashar'el (Israel),
