Let's not waste any time, my friends. You are the ones who were chosen to be the Lord's priests and to offer him sacrifices.
Leave the city of Babylon! Don't touch anything filthy. Wash yourselves. Be ready to carry back everything sacred that belongs to the Lord.
The sacred tent had been taken down, and the Gershonites and the Merarites carried it, marching behind the Judah camp.
Next were the Kohathites, carrying the objects for the sacred tent, which was to be set up before they arrived at the new camp.
From the half that belongs to the people, set aside one out of every 50 and give these to the Levites in charge of the sacred tent.
When the camp is ready to be moved, the Kohathites will be responsible for carrying the sacred objects and the furnishings of the sacred tent. But Aaron and his sons must have already covered those things so the Kohathites won't touch them and die.
These are the duties of the Gershonites at the sacred tent, and Ithamar son of Aaron will make sure they do their work.
