1The Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying,
2“Take a census of the Kohathites separate from the other Levites, by their clans and their ancestral houses,
3 and spread over that a cloth all of blue and put its poles in place.
7 and put its poles in place.
9 and put it on the carrying frame.
11 and put its poles in place,
12and they shall take all the utensils of the service that are used in the sanctuary and put them in a blue cloth and cover them with a covering of fine leather and put them on the carrying frame.
13They shall take away the ashes from the altar and spread a purple cloth over it,
14and they shall put on it all the utensils of the altar, which are used for the service there, the firepans, the forks, the shovels, and the basins, all the utensils of the altar, and they shall spread on it a covering of fine leather and put its poles in place.
15 must not go in to look on the holy things even for a moment, or they will die.”
The Gershonites and Merarites21Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
22“Take a census of the Gershonites also, by their ancestral houses and by their clans;
23 that is on top of it, and the screen for the entrance of the tent of meeting,
26and the hangings of the court, and the screen for the entrance of the gate of the court that is around the tabernacle and the altar, and their cords, and all the equipment for their service, and they shall do all that needs to be done with regard to them.
27Num 3.25, 26All the service of the Gershonites shall be at the command of Aaron and his sons, in all that they are to carry and in all that they have to do, and you shall assign to them as duties all that they are to carry.
28This is the service of the clans of the Gershonites relating to the tent of meeting, and their duties are to be under the oversight of Ithamar son of Aaron the priest.
29“As for the Merarites, you shall enroll them by their clans and their ancestral houses;
30v 3from thirty years old up to fifty years old you shall enroll them, everyone who qualifies to do the work of the tent of meeting.
31Num 3.36, 37This is their duty to carry, as the whole of their service in the tent of meeting: the frames of the tabernacle, with its bars, pillars, and bases,
32and the pillars of the court all around with their bases, pegs, and cords, with all their equipment and all their related service, and you shall assign by name the objects that they are required to carry.
33v 28This is the service of the clans of the Merarites, the whole of their service relating to the tent of meeting, under the hand of Ithamar son of Aaron the priest.”
