The Gershonites (4:21–28)

21–28 The Gershonites were responsible for the outer curtains and coverings of the tabernacle (Numbers 3:25–26). Because these things were not among the most holy objects, the Gershonites could safely handle them.

The Merarites (4:29–33)

29–33 The Merarites were responsible for the structural parts of the tabernacle, such as the frames, posts and bases (Numbers 3:31–32).

The Numbering of the Levite Clans (4:34–49)

34–49 After the Levites were numbered, each was assigned his work (verse 49). If God assigns the work, then each person’s work will fit smoothly into the whole. If we choose our own work without regard to God, we will create tension, disruption and disunity. God has assigned us to work together, as one body, under His direction (1 Corinthians 12:4–27; Ephesians 4:7,11–13).
