³¹ Mattithiah was a Levite who belonged to Korah's clan. His work was to prepare the bread that they used as offerings. ³² Other Levites who belonged to Kohath's clan prepared the bread for the special table. The priests put this bread on the special table in the Holy Place each Sabbath day.

³³ Some of the Levites were musicians in the temple. The leaders of those clans lived in rooms at the temple. They needed to do their work as musicians during the night, as well as during the day. So they did not have other jobs to do in the temple.
