New Century Version

The Jobs of the Merari Family

²⁹ “Count the Merarite families and family groups. ³⁰ Count the men from thirty to fifty years old, all who work at the Meeting Tent. ³¹ It is their job to carry the following as they serve in the Meeting Tent: the frames of the Holy Tent, the crossbars, the posts, and bases, ³² in addition to the posts that go around the courtyard, their bases, tent pegs, ropes, and everything that is used with the poles around the courtyard. Tell each man exactly what to carry. ³³ This is the work the Merarite family group will do for the Meeting Tent. Ithamar son of Aaron, the priest, will direct their work.”
