And they shall bear the curtains of the tabernacle
The ten curtains of fine linen, ( Exodus 26:1 ) ;

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 ) .

Bamidbar 4:25 In-Context

23 From shloshim shanah (thirty years old) and upward until chamishim shanah (fifty years old) shalt thou number them; all that enter to serve the tz’va (holy militia service of Hashem), to labor in the Avodah in the Ohel Mo’ed.
24 This is the Avodat Mishpekhot Gershoni, as relates to service and massa (burden):
25 And they shall bear the curtains of the Mishkan, and the Ohel Mo’ed, its covering, and the tachash hide covering that is over the top of it, and the screen for the entrance of the Ohel Mo’ed,
26 And the hangings of the khatzer (court), and the hanging for the entrance of the sha’ar (gate) of the khatzer (court), which is around the Mishkan and around the Mizbe’ach, and their cords, and all the Klei Avodah (Utensils of Service, Ministry) of them, and all that is done for them; so shall they serve.
27 At the appointment of Aharon and his banim shall be all the Avodat Bnei Gershoni, in all their massa (burdens), and in all their avodah (service); and ye shall appoint unto them in mishmeret (guard duty responsibility) for all their massa (burdens).
