1 Chronicles 23:31-32 King James Version (KJV)
31 And to offer all burnt sacrifices unto the LORD in the sabbaths, in the new moons, and on the set feasts, by number, according to the order commanded unto them, continually before the LORD:
32 And that they should keep the charge of the tabernacle of the congregation, and the charge of the holy place, and the charge of the sons of Aaron their brethren, in the service of the house of the LORD.




1 Chronicles 23:31-32 Expanded Bible (EXB)


31 The Levites offered all the burnt offerings to the LORD on the •special days of rest [sabbaths], at the New Moon festivals and at all appointed feasts. They served before the LORD •every day [continually]. They were to follow the rules for how many Levites should serve each time. 32 So the Levites •took care [were in charge] of the •Meeting Tent [Tabernacle] and the •Holy Place [sanctuary]. And they helped their relatives, Aaron’s descendants, with the services at the •Temple [L house] of the LORD.

These are my thoughts, please share yours.


31 Offerings were made to Lord often but in special occasions everyone at once would offer sacrifices. Sabbaths were celebrated weekly and every seven years. New moons happen once a month. These other feasts are mentioned for them to keep like Passover and the feast of trumpets usually week long celebrations. The Levites were called to serve God their entire lives, when we come to the Lord it is a life long call. We need to read the bible to know how to follow His rules for us.


32 Just as God left the Levites in charge of all things of Him, we as Christians, the church have them same and even a greater duty with the Lord. We are to be His body to the world, doing the work He would if He were still here in the flesh.
