And [under] the custody and charge of the sons of
Merari
[shall be] the boards of the tabernacle
Both of the holy and the most holy place, which were the walls of
the tabernacle, and which were covered with curtains; these when
taken down for journeying were committed to the care of the
Merarites; and because these, with what, follow, were a heavy
carriage, they were allowed wagons to carry them; and who on this
account had more wagons given them than to the Gershonites, for
the Kohathites had none, ( Numbers
7:6-9 ) ;
and the bars thereof;
which kept the boards tight and close, see ( Exodus 26:26
) ;
and the pillars thereof;
the pillars on which the vail was hung, that divided between the
holy and most holy place, and, on which the hanging was put for
the door of the vail, ( Exodus 26:32
Exodus
26:37 ) ;
and the sockets thereof;
in which both the boards and pillars were put, ( Exodus 26:19
Exodus
26:32 Exodus 26:37
) .
