21 Of Gershon came the family of the Libnites and the family of the Shimites: these are the families of the Gershonites.
22 The sum whereof ([a]after the number of all the males from a month old and above) was counted seven thousand and five hundred.
23 ¶ The families of the Gershonites shall pitch behind the Tabernacle Westward.
24 The captain and [b]ancient of the house of the Gershonites shall be Eliasaph the son of Lael.
25 And the charge of the sons of Gershon in the Tabernacle of the Congregation, shall be the [c]Tabernacle, and the pavilion, the covering thereof, and the veil of the door of the Tabernacle of the Congregation,
26 And the hanging of the court, and the veil of the door of the court which is near the Tabernacle, and near the Altar round about, and the cords of it for all the service thereof.
