From thirty years old and upward
The Septuagint version here, and in ( Numbers 4:3 Numbers 4:23 ) , renders it, from twenty five years old and upward, agreeable to ( Numbers 8:24 ) , at the which age the Levites went into the tabernacle, to wait and to learn their business, but they did not enter upon it till thirty;

everyone that entereth into the service, to do the work of the
tabernacle of the congregation; (See Gill on Numbers 4:3).

28 This is the service of the clans of the Gershonites relating to the tent of meeting, and their responsibilities are to be under the oversight of Ithamar son of Aaron the priest.
29 As for the Merarites, you shall enroll them by their clans and their ancestral houses;

32 and the pillars of the court all around with their bases, pegs, and cords, with all their equipment and all their related service; and you shall assign by name the objects that they are required to carry.
