Duties of the Sons of Merari

29 “As for the sons of aMerari, you shall number them by their families and by their fathers’ house.  
30 aFrom thirty years old and above, even to fifty years old, you shall number them, everyone who enters the service to do the work of the tabernacle of meeting.  
31 And athis is bwhat they must carry as all their service for the tabernacle of meeting: cthe boards of the tabernacle, its bars, its pillars, its sockets,  
32 and the pillars around the court with their sockets, pegs, and cords, with all their furnishings and all their service; and you shall aassign to each man by name the items he must carry.  
33 This is the service of the families of the sons of Merari, as all their service for the tabernacle of meeting, under the1 authority of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest.”

Numbers

NUMBERS. This book is so called because it contains an account of the enumeration and arrangement of the Israelites. The early part of it, from the first through the tenth chapters, appears to be a supplement to Leviticus, being occupied with relating the appointment of the Levites to the sacred offices. The journal of the march through the wilderness is then given as far as Numbers 21:20; after which the early incidents of the invasion are narrated. One direct quotation only from this book (Numbers 16:5) is made in the New Testament (II Timothy 2:19); but indirect references to it by the later sacred writers are very numerous.
