**הֵמָּה מִסְפַּר בְּנֵי לֵוִי מִבֶּן עֶשְׂרִים שָׁנָה וּלְמָעְלָה.** כְּלוֹמַר: אָז תִּקֵּן דָּוִד מִשְׁמָרוֹת אֵלּוּ, כְּשֶׁיָּבֹא שְׁלֹמֹה בְּנוֹ שֶׁיִּהְיוּ מְזוּמָּנִים לוֹ:

**The Judaica Press complete Tanach with Rashi, translated by A. J. Rosenberg:**
**the sons of the Levites were numbered from twenty years old and upwards** Then David established these watches, so that when Solomon his son would come, they would be prepared for him.

**כִּי מַעֲמָדָם לְיַד בְּנֵי אַהֲרֹן וגו׳.** דֻּגְמָא: ״וְיִלָּווּ עָלֶיךָ וִישָׁרְתוּךָ״ (במדבר יח:ב):

**For their station was alongside the sons of Aaron, etc.** This resembles (Num. 18:2): “... and they shall join with you and minister to you.”

**וְעַל טָהֳרַת לְכָל קֹדֶשׁ.** שֶׁאִם יִטָּמֵא הַבַּיִת וְכֵלָיו, שֶׁיִּהְיוּ הֵם מְמֻנִּים לְטַהֲרוֹ, שֶׁכֵּן מָצִינוּ בְּחִזְקִיָּהוּ כְּדִכְתִיב ״וַיְקַבְּלוּ הַלְוִיִּם לְהוֹצִיא לְנַחַל קִדְרוֹן חוּצָה״ (דברי הימים ב כט:טז), וּכְתִיב ״וַיָּחֵלּוּ בְּאֶחָד לַחֹדֶשׁ הָרִאשׁוֹן לְקַדֵּשׁ וְגוֹ׳״ (דברי הימים ב כט:יז):

**and over the purity of all sacred things** so that if the House and its vessels become unclean, they will be appointed to purify it, for so we find with Hezekiah, as it is written (below II Chron. 29:16): “And the Levites accepted to take out to the Kidron Valley outside,” and it is written (ibid. verse 17): “And they commenced on the first of the first month to sanctify, etc.”

**וּלְכָל הַעֲלוֹת עֹלוֹת לַה׳ לַשַּׁבָּתוֹת לֶחֳדָשִׁים.** פִּתְרוֹן: הֵם יִהְיוּ מְמֻנִּים עַל הַלְּשָׁכוֹת וְגַם עַל לִשְׁכַּת בֵּית הַטְּלָאִים שֶׁהַקָּרְבָּנוֹת שָׁם (משנה תמיד ג, ג), וְהֵם יָבִיאוּ אֶל הַכֹּהֲנִים תָּמִיד בְּכָל יוֹם בְּמִסְפָּר מַה שֶּׁצְּרִיכִים בְּכָל יוֹם, בֵּין בְּחוֹל בֵּין בַּשַּׁבָּתוֹת וּבֶחֳדָשִׁים וּבַמּוֹעֲדִים שֶׁמּוֹסִיפִים עַל הַתָּמִיד; כָּל אֵלֶּה יָבִיאוּ **בְּמִסְפָּר כְּמִשְׁפָּט**. וְגַם מְסַיְּעִים לַכֹּהֲנִים לְהַפְשִׁיט הַזֶּבַח, וְכֵן מָצִינוּ בְּחִזְקִיָּהוּ ״רַק הַכֹּהֲנִים הָיוּ לִמְעָט וְלֹא יָכְלוּ לְהַפְשִׁיט אֶת כָּל הָעוֹלוֹת וַיְחַזְּקוּם אֲחֵיהֶם הַלְוִיִּם וְגוֹ׳״ (דברי הימים ב כט:לד):

**The Judaica Press complete Tanach with Rashi, translated by A. J. Rosenberg:**
**And for every offering up of burnt offerings to the Lord on Sabbaths, on New Moons** The meaning is: They will be appointed over the chambers and also over the chamber of the house of the lambs, where the sacrificial animals are kept, and they will bring [them] to the priests constantly every day, according to the number that is required for each day, whether on weekdays, whether on Sabbaths, and on New Moons and festivals, when additional sacrifices are offered up with the daily offerings - all these they will bring in number according to the ordinance, and they will also assist the priests in flaying the sacrifice. And so we find with Hezekiah (II Chron. 29:34): “Only the priests were few, and they could not flay all the burnt offerings; so their brethren the Levites strengthened them, etc.”
