Numbers 4:21-28

1599 Geneva Bible

²¹ ¶ And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,

²² Take also the sum of the sons of Gershon, every one by the houses of their fathers, throughout their families:

²³ From thirty years old and above until fifty years old shalt thou number them, all that ^[a]enter into the assembly for to do service in the Tabernacle of the Congregation.

²⁴ This shall be the service of the families of the Gershonites to serve and to bear.

²⁵ They shall bear the curtains of the Tabernacle, and the Tabernacle of the Congregation, his covering, and the covering of badger’s skins, that is on high upon it, and the veil of the ^[b]door of the Tabernacle of the Congregation.

²⁶ The curtains also of the court, and the veil of the entering in of the gate of the court, ^[c]which is near the Tabernacle and near the altar round about, with their cords: and all the instruments for their service, and all that is made for them: so shall they serve.

²⁷ At the commandment of Aaron and his sons shall all the service of the sons of the Gershonites be done, in all their charges and in all their service, and ye shall appoint them to keep all their charges.

²⁸ This is the service of the families of the sons of the Gershonites in the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and their watch shall be under the ^[d]hand of Ithamar the son of Aaron the Priest.
