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.”
