Numbers 4:21-28

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²¹ And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

²² Take the sum of the soils of Gerson also by their houses and families and kindreds.

²³ From thirty years old and upward, unto fifty years old. Number them all that go in and minister in the tabernacle of the covenant.

²⁴ This is the office of the family of the Gersonites:

²⁵ To carry the curtains of the tabernacle and the roof of the covenant, the other covering, and the violet covering over all, and the hanging that hangeth in the entry of the tabernacle of the covenant,

²⁶ The curtains of the court, and the veil in the entry that is before the tabernacle. All things that pertain to the altar, the cords and the vessels of the ministry,

²⁷ The sons of Gerson shall carry, by the commandment of Aaron and his sons: and each man shall know to what burden he must be assigned.

²⁸ This is the service of the family of the Gersonites in the tabernacle of the covenant, and they shall be under the hand of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest.
