Retirement of the Levites (NUM 8:23-26)

[8:23] And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

[8:24] “This applies to the Levites: from twenty-five years old and upward they shall come to do duty in the service of the tent of meeting.

[8:25] And from the age of fifty years they shall withdraw from the duty of the service and serve no more.

[8:26] They minister to their brothers in the tent of meeting by keeping guard, but they shall do no service. Thus shall you do to the Levites in assigning their duties.”
