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 You will enroll those from 30 to 50 years old, all who are eligible for service to do work in the dwelling.
24 This is the duty of the Gershonite clans for work and for carrying the load:
25 They will carry the fabric of the dwelling, the meeting tent with its covering, the outer covering of fine leather, the screen for the entrance of the meeting tent,
26 the curtains of the courtyard, the screen of the entrance at the gate of the courtyard that surrounds the meeting tent and the altar, their cords, and all their equipment for their work. They will do everything that needs to be done with these objects.
27 All the duties of the Gershonites for carrying their load and for their work will be at the command of Aaron and his sons. You will assign to them the responsibility to carry their load.
