72 - THE LEVITES AND PRIESTS PERFORMING EACH OTHER'S ALLOTTED SERVICES
According to Maimonides, a Levite who lost his voice, and therefore could no longer participate in the singing at the services, was permitted to join the group of Levites who attended to the gates in the sanctuary.*
“Those that ministered in the Temple were strictly forbidden to interfere with each other’s work; for if, in public duties and offices, each one had not his particular task assigned to him, general carelessness and neglect would soon be noticed.”*
