And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
And the tabernacle was taken down; and the sons of Gershon and the sons of Merari set forward, bearing the tabernacle.
But they shall not go in to see when the holy things are covered, lest they die.
Take also the sum of the sons of Gershon, throughout the houses of their fathers, by their families;
According to the commandment of the LORD they were numbered by the hand of Moses, every one according to his service, and according to his burden: thus were they numbered of him, as the LORD commanded Moses.
