19. And Shallum son of Qorĕ, son of Eḇyasaph, son of Qoraḥ, and his brothers, from his father’s house, the Qorḥites, were over the work of the service, guards of the thresholds of the Tent. And their fathers had been guards of the entrance to the camp of יהוה.

20. And Pineḥas son of El‛azar was leader over them in time past. יהוה was with him.

21. Zeḵaryah son of Meshelemyah was gatekeeper at the entrance of the Tent of Meeting.
