32 Eles ministravam o louvor diante do tabernáculo, da Tenda do Encontro, até quando Salomão construiu o templo do Senhor em Jerusalém. Eles exerciam suas funções de acordo com as normas estabelecidas.

48 Seus parentes, os outros levitas, foram encarregados de cuidar de todo o serviço do tabernáculo, o templo de Deus.

49 Mas era Arão e seus descendentes que cuidavam dos sacrifícios no altar do holocausto e das ofertas no altar de incenso e de todo o serviço do Lugar Santíssimo, e dos sacrifícios de propiciação por Israel, conforme tudo o que Moisés, servo de Deus, tinha ordenado.

55 foi-lhe dada Hebrom, em Judá, com suas pastagens ao redor.

56 Mas os campos e os povoados em torno da cidade foram dados a Calebe, filho de Jefoné.
