²⁴In foure quarters were the porters: toward the East, West, North, and South.

²⁵And their brethren, which were in their villages, were to come after seuen dayes, from time to time with them.

²⁶For these Leuites, the foure chiefe porters, were in their set office, and were ouer the chambers and treasuries of the house of God.²⁶
