now therefore serve the Lord your God, and minister unto his
people Israel, and prepare you after your families and kindreds,
1Esdr 1:5
According as David the king of Israel prescribed,
and according to the magnificence of Solomon his son:
and standing in the temple according to the several dignity
of the families of you the Levites, who minister in the presence
of your brethren the children of Israel,

Offer the passover in order, and make ready the sacrifices
for your brethren, and keep the passover according to the
commandment of the Lord, which was given unto Moses.

according to the kindreds,

before the people, to offer to the Lord, as it is written
in the book of Moses: and thus did they in the morning.
