Numbers 4:27
At the appointment of Aaron and his sons
As they shall order and direct:
shall be all the service of the sons of the
Gershonites;
everyone of them was to take their share, as Aaron and his sons
should appoint them:
in all their burdens, and in all their service;
what each of them should carry, and in what they should perform
duty:
and ye shall appoint to them in charge all their
burdens;
charge them carefully to keep all that were committed to them to
bear, that none be lost, not a pin nor a cord.
