And the Lord spake unto Moses Though Aaron is not mentioned here, he was concerned in taking the sum of the Gershonites, as well as of the Kohathites, as appears from ( Numbers 4:41 ) ;
19
but deal thus with them, that they may live and not die when they come near to the most holy things: Aaron and his sons shall go in and appoint them each to his task and to his burden,
20
but they shall not go in to look upon the holy things even for a moment, lest they die."
22
"Take a census of the sons of Gershon also, by their families and their fathers' houses;
23
from thirty years old up to fifty years old, you shall number them, all who can enter for service, to do the work in the tent of meeting.
