Numbers 4:31

And this [is] the charge of their burden
What should be committed to their care and charge, and they should bear and carry:

according to all their service in the tabernacle of the congregation;
which was assigned to them as their part, and which was very heavy and cumbersome, and therefore they had wagons allowed them, ( Numbers 7:8 ) ;

the boards of the tabernacle, and the bars thereof, and the pillars
thereof, and sockets thereof;
all these belonged to the holy and to the most holy place; see ( Exodus 26:15-37 ) .
