21 The Lord said to Moses:
22-23 Find out how many men between the ages of thirty and fifty are in the two Levite clans of Gershon. Count only those who are able to work at the sacred tent.
24 The Gershonites will be responsible
25 for carrying the curtains of the sacred tent, its two outer coverings, the curtain for the entrance to the tent,
26 the curtains hanging around the courtyard of the tent, and the curtain and ropes for the entrance to the courtyard. The Gershonites are to do whatever needs to be done to take care of these things,
27 and they will carry them wherever Aaron and his sons tell them to.
28 These are the duties of the Gershonites at the sacred tent, and Ithamar son of Aaron will make sure they do their work.
