The tribe of Levi: the various temple services of which they were in charge. Such as: gate keepers, responsibility to open the doors v19; those in charge of the treasuries – some of the men had more than one responsibility. v24-27
Men were in charge of the utensils used in worship of God.
Some of the priests were in charge of the mixing of spices used in worship of God.
Others were responsible for baking – and they baked the showbread for every sabbath. v32
Singers were also appointed and they were engaged in this work night and day. v33
Musicians are important to worshiping God. Many men and a few women are listed in the genealogy, of those who lived in Jerusalem.
