Common English Bible

²¹ To Gershon belonged the clans of Libni and Shimei. These were the clans of the Gershonites. ²² Their enrollment, according to the number of males over one month old, was 7,500. ²³ The clans of the Gershonites were to camp behind the dwelling on the west side. ²⁴ The chief of the household of the Gershonites was Eliasaph, Lael’s son. ²⁵ In the dwelling, the Gershonites were responsible for the meeting tent, the tent with its covering, the screen for the entrance of the meeting tent, ²⁶ the curtains of the courtyard, the screen for the entrance of the courtyard surrounding the meeting tent and the altar, and its cords—all these structures.
