He will bow in worship at the gate’s threshold and then depart, but the gate is not to be closed until evening.

1 Chronicles 26 12-1 Chronicles 26 19
These divisions of the gatekeepers, under their leading men, had duties for ministering in the LORD’s temple, just as their relatives did.They cast lots for each temple gate according to their ancestral families, young and old alike.The lot for the east gate fell to Shelemiah. They also cast lots for his son Zechariah, an insightful counselor, and his lot came out for the north gate.Obed-edom’s was the south gate, and his sons’ lot was for the storehouses;it was the west gate and the gate of Shallecheth on the ascending highway for Shuppim and Hosah. There were guards stationed at every watch.There were six Levites each day on the east, four each day on the north, four each day on the south, and two pair at the storehouses.As for the court on the west, there were four at the highway and two at the court.Those were the divisions of the gatekeepers from the descendants of the Korahites and Merarites.
