Levitical service at the Temple has a minimum and maximum age. If you were a Levite man, you couldn't start your service until you were 25 years old, and you had a mandatory retirement age of 50. Why? I don't know.
Numbers 8:24-25

Comment

25 years makes sense because in that time period, you would have already been married in raising children and understand the responsibilities and the maturities required for living life. As for the age of 50, perhaps it was to encourage the younger generation to step up and to keep the older generation from becoming entrenched? The older ones teach the younger ones and they do it while they're still have a lot of life and strength left in them?
