Numbers 4:25 Meaning and Commentary

Numbers 4:25

And they shall bear the curtains of the tabernacle
The ten curtains of fine linen, ( Exodus 26:1 ) ;

and the tabernacle of the congregation;
the curtains of goats' hair made for a tent over it, as Jarchi, see ( Exodus 26:7 ) ;

his covering the covering of rams skins dyed red,
( Exodus 26:14 ) ;

and the covering of the badgers' skins that [is] above upon it;
over all the rest:

and the hanging for the door of the tabernacle of the congregation;
the eastern vail, as Jarchi calls it, which was for the door of the tent that led into the tabernacle, the holy place, ( Exodus 26:36 ) .

Numbers 4:25 In-Context

23 Count all the men from thirty to fifty years of age who enter the ministry of work in the Tent of Meeting.
24 "The Gershonites by family and clan will serve by carrying heavy loads:
25 the curtains of the Sanctuary and the Tent of Meeting; the covering of the Tent and the outer covering of dolphin skins; the screens for the entrance to the Tent;
26 the cords; and all the equipment used in its ministries. The Gershonites have the job of doing the work connected with these things.
27 All their work of lifting and carrying and moving is to be done under the supervision of Aaron and his sons. Assign them specifically what they are to carry.
