The "Holy Place" is part of the temple complex, distinct from the "Most Holy Place" or "Holy of Holies," which only the high priest could enter once a year on the Day of Atonement (<a href="/leviticus/16-2.htm">Leviticus 16:2</a>). The Holy Place contained the table of showbread, the lampstand, and the altar of incense (<a href="/exodus/26-33.htm">Exodus 26:33-35</a>). This instruction emphasizes the sanctity and order required in worship, reflecting God's holiness and the need for purity among those serving Him.<p><b>by the divisions of the families of your kinsmen the lay people</b><br>The divisions of the families refer to the organized structure of the Israelite community, particularly during the reign of King David, who established a system of divisions for the priests and Levites (1 Chronicles 24). This organization ensured that all families had a role in the worship and service of God, promoting unity and shared responsibility. The mention of "kinsmen the lay people" highlights the involvement of the entire community in worship, not just the priestly class, reflecting the communal nature of Israel's covenant relationship with God.<p><b>and by the divisions of the families of the Levites</b><br>The Levites were a tribe set apart for religious duties, distinct from the priestly line of Aaron but essential for temple service (<a href="/numbers/3-5.htm">Numbers 3:5-10</a>). Their divisions were also established by David (1 Chronicles 23-26), ensuring that temple worship was conducted with order and reverence. The Levites' roles included assisting the priests, singing, playing instruments, and maintaining the temple.
