There means in those same storerooms. The phrase the vessels for at the start of this list applies to every item on the list. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could repeat that idea throughout the list. Alternate translation: “In those same rooms we will also store equipment for the temple, equipment that the priests use when they are on duty, tools that the gatekeepers use, and instruments for the musicians”

Here the covenant uses one type of equipment that the storerooms would hold, vessels or “jars” or “containers,” to refer to all the different types of equipment on the list in this verse. Alternate translation: “equipment”
