Noen av dem skulle passe på de redskapene som ble brukt under tjenesten. Derfor telte de dem både når de ble hentet og når de ble lagt tilbake. Noen av dem var satt til å ha tilsyn med alt utstyret og alle redskapene som hørte til helligdommen, og tilsyn med det fine melet, vinen, oljen, røkelsen og krydderne. Noen av sønnene til prestene lagde salven av krydderne. Mattitja var den eldste sønnen til korahitten Sjallum. Han hadde, ved sin trofasthet, fått ansvar for alt bakverket som ble bakt i pannene. De andre korahittene hadde ansvar for å gjøre i stand skuebrødene for hver sabbat.
