charge of the house "House" is used generally of the whole temple buildings. Here those having the charge of the house are called "priests," elsewhere the charge of the house is assigned to the Levites, cf. ch. Ezekiel 44:15-31. This charge embraced several duties: e.g. that of keeping the gates (Ezekiel 44:11), and that of slaying the sacrifices (Ezekiel 44:11) and preparing the sacrificial meal for the people (Ezekiel 46:24).
