29 “For the descendants[a] of Merari according to their clans, according to their families,[b] you will muster[c] them; 30 from those thirty years old[d] and above until fifty years old;[e] you will muster[f] them, all who come to do the work of the tent of assembly. 31 And this is the responsibility of those who are to carry,[g] all their work in the tent of assembly: the frames of the tabernacle and its bars, pillars, and bases, 32 and the pillars of the courtyard all around, and their bases, pegs, and cords, with all their vessels and for all their work. You will appoint by name the vessels that they are responsible to carry. 33 This is the work of the clan of the descendants[h] of Merari, for all their work in the tent of assembly under the direction[i] of Ithamar son of Aaron the priest.”

Duties of the Merarites
29 “As for the sons of Merari, you shall count them by their families, by their fathers’ households; 30 from (A)thirty years old and upward, even to fifty years old, you shall count them, everyone who can enter the service to do the work of the tent of meeting. 31 Now this is the duty of their loads, for all their service in the tent of meeting: the boards of the tabernacle, its bars, its pillars, and its bases, 32 and the pillars around the courtyard and their bases, their pegs, and their ropes, with all their equipment and with all their service; and you shall assign by names of the men the items [a]that each is to carry. 33 This is the service of the families of the sons of Merari, according to all their service in the tent of meeting, [b]under the direction of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest.”
