1 Chronicles 9:27 in Context — 1 Chronicles 9
25 Leurs frères, qui demeuraient dans leurs villages, devaient de temps à autre venir auprès d’eux pendant sept jours.
26 Car ces quatre chefs des portiers, ces Lévites, étaient toujours en fonctions, et ils avaient encore la surveillance des chambres et des trésors de la maison de Dieu;
27 ils passaient la nuit autour de la maison de Dieu, dont ils avaient la garde, et qu’ils devaient ouvrir chaque matin.
28 Quelques-uns des Lévites prenaient soin des ustensiles du service, qu’ils rentraient en les comptant et sortaient en les comptant.
29 D’autres veillaient sur les ustensiles, sur tous les ustensiles du sanctuaire, et sur la fleur de farine, le vin, l’huile, l’encens et les aromates.
