Verse 18 is found in chapter 9 of 1 Chronicles. The gatekeepers receive special attention because guarding entrances and sacred spaces was part of temple order. Those responsible for vessels, flour, bread, and other elements of service are also described. The holiness of worship is expressed through concrete and orderly responsibilities, not only through extraordinary ceremonial acts.

und er hat bisher am Tor des Königs gegen Aufgang gewartet. Dies sind die Pförtner in den Lagern der Kinder Levi.
Y hasta ahora entre las cuadrillas de los hijos de Leví han sido estos los porteros en la puerta del rey que está al oriente.
et jusqu'à présent il est à la porte du roi, à l'orient. Ce sont là les portiers pour le camp des fils de Lévi.
e lo è infino ad ora, ed ha la guardia della porta del re, verso Oriente; costoro furono portinai, fra le schiere de’ figliuoli di Levi;
E até aquele tempo estavam de guarda à porta do rei, do lado do oriente; estes foram os porteiros dos arraiais dos filhos de Levi.
從前這些人看守朝東的王門,如今是 利未 人營中的守衛。
