And he commanded to them, and said, This is the word, that ye owe to do; the third part of you enter in on the sabbath day, and keep ye the watches of the king’s house;
and another third part be at the gate of Sur; and the third part be at the gate that is behind the dwelling place of the makers of shields; and ye shall keep the wakings [or watches] of the house of Masah.
And ye shall encompass the king, and ye shall have arms in your hands; and if any man enter into the enclosing [or precinct] of the temple, be he slain; and ye shall be with the king going in and going out.
and none other man enter into the house of the Lord, no but [the] priests, and they that minister of the deacons [or Levites]; only enter they, that be hallowed, and all the other common people keep they the keep-ings of the Lord.
