The work of the men descended from Gershon

21 Yahweh also said to Moses/me, 22 “Write down the names of all the men who belong to the clans descended from the Gershon division of the descendants of Levi. 23 Write the names of the men who are between 30 and 50 years old. They will be men who will also work at the Sacred Tent.

24 “This is the work that they must do and the things that they must carry when you move to a new location: 25 They must carry the curtains of the Sacred Tent; they must carry the Sacred Tent and all the things that cover it, including the nice outer covering made from skins of goats, and the curtain which is at the entrance of the Sacred Tent. 26 They must also carry the curtains that form the wall that surrounds the courtyard that surrounds the Sacred Tent and the altar, the curtain that is at the entrance to the courtyard, and the ropes that fasten the curtains. They must also do the packing and loading of these things. 27 Aaron and his sons will supervise the work of all the descendants of Gershom. That work includes carrying those things and doing other work that is necessary for moving them. They must tell each of the descendants of Gershom what things they must carry. 28 Those are the tasks that you must give to the men who belong to the clans descended from Gershom. Aaron’s son Ithamar is the one who will supervise their work.
