The work of the men descended from Merari

29 Count also the men who belong to the clans descended from Levi’s son Merari. 30 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. 31 Their work will be to carry the frames that hold up the tent, the crossbars, the posts that hold up the curtains, and the bases. 32 They must also carry the posts for the curtains that form the walls of the courtyard and the bases for the posts, the tent pegs, and the ropes to fasten the curtains. Tell each man what things he must carry. 33 Those are the tasks that the descendants of Merari must do at the Sacred Tent. Aaron’s son Ithamar is the one who will supervise them.”
