The Lord said to Moses,
Then the Holy Tent was taken down, and the Gershonites and Merarites, who carried it, moved next.
The Kohathites must not enter and look at the holy things, even for a second, or they will die.”
“Count the Gershonites by families and family groups.
Each man was counted as the Lord had commanded Moses; each man was given his work and told what to carry as the Lord had commanded Moses.
