41These were the numbered men of the families of the sons of Gershon, everyone who was serving in the tent of meeting, whom Moses and Aaron counted according to the commandment of the Lord.

31This is what they are responsible to carry as the whole of their service at the tent of meeting: the supports of the tabernacle, with its crossbars, pillars, and bases, 32the posts of the surrounding courtyard with their bases, tent pegs, and ropes, including all their equipment and all the work related to them. You are to assign by name the items that they are responsible to carry. 33This is the service of the Merarite clans regarding all their work at the tent of meeting, under the direction of Ithamar son of Aaron the priest."
34So Moses, Aaron, and the leaders of the community registered the Kohathites by their clans and their ancestral families,
35men from thirty years old to fifty years old, everyone who was qualified for work at the tent of meeting.
36The men registered by their clans numbered 2,750.

Chapter 4
31Their only duty at the Tabernacle will be to carry loads. They will carry the frames of the Tabernacle, the crossbars, the posts, and the bases; 32also the posts for the courtyard walls with their bases, pegs, and ropes; and all the accessories and everything else related to their use. Assign the various loads to each man by name. 33So these are the duties of the Merarite clans at the Tabernacle. They are directly responsible to Ithamar son of Aaron the priest.'
34So Moses, Aaron, and the other leaders of the community listed the members of the Kohathite division by their clans and families.
35The list included all the men between thirty and fifty years of age who were eligible for service in the Tabernacle,
36and the total number came to 2,750.
37So this was the total of all those from the Kohathite clans who were eligible to serve at the Tabernacle. Moses and Aaron listed them, just as the Lord had commanded through Moses.
38The Gershonite division was also listed by its clans and families.
39The list included all the men between thirty and fifty years of age who were eligible for service in the Tabernacle,
