in the tabernacle of the congregation in the court;
where they should take up their burdens, or which lie in things respecting the tabernacle; this was the part they were to be employed in, namely, in taking care of the hangings of the tabernacle

the priest;
the things committed to their care were delivered by him to them, and they were under his inspection and direction.
