Numbers 3:33-39
1599 Geneva Bible
33 ¶ Of Merari came the family of the Mahlites, and the family of the Mushites: these are the families of Merari.
34 And the sum of them, according to the number of all the males, from a month old and above was six thousand and two hundred.
35 The captain and the ancient of the house of the families of Merari shall be Zuriel the son of Abihail: they shall pitch on the Northside of the Tabernacle.
36 And in the charge and custody of the sons of Merari shall be [a]the boards of the Tabernacle, and the bars thereof, and his pillars, and his sockets, and all the instruments thereof, and all that serveth thereto,
37 With the pillars of the court round about, with their sockets, and their pins and their cords.
38 ¶ Also on the forefront of the Tabernacle toward the East, before the Tabernacle I say, of the Congregation Eastward shall Moses and Aaron and his sons pitch, having the charge of the Sanctuary, [b]and the charge of the children of Israel: but the stranger that cometh near shall be slain.
39 The whole sum of the Levites, which Moses and Aaron numbered at the commandment of the Lord throughout their families, even all the males from a month old and above, was two and twenty [c]thousand.
