Numbers 4:21 In-Context

19 This is how you must deal with them in order that they may live and not die when they come near to the most holy things: Aaron and his sons shall go in and assign each to a particular task or burden.

20 But the Kohathites must not go in to look on the holy things even for a moment; otherwise they will die.

21 Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

22 Take a census of the Gershonites also, by their ancestral houses and by their clans;

23 from thirty years old up to fifty years old you shall enroll them, all who qualify to do work in the tent of meeting.
