Numbers 3:21-26

GOD’S WORD Translation

²¹ To Gershon belonged the families descended from Libni and Shimei. These were the families descended from Gershon. ²² The total number of all the males at least one month old was 7,500. ²³ The families descended from Gershon put up their tents on the west side behind the tent of meeting. ²⁴ The leader of the Gershonite households was Eliasaph, son of Lael. ²⁵ At the tent of meeting the Gershonites were in charge of the inner tent, the outer tent and cover, the screen for the entrance to the tent of meeting, ²⁶ the curtains for the courtyard, the screen for the entrance to the courtyard that surrounds the inner tent and the altar, and the ropes. They took care of all these things.
