The Voice

^34-37 So Moses, Aaron, and all the heads of the community did as the Lord had instructed. They organized the Kohathites by the clans and the extended families, ages 30–50, who were eligible to work on behalf of the congregation tent and found that there were 2,750. ^38-45 The Gershonites whom Moses and Aaron organized by each clan and extended family numbered 2,630; and the Merarites—3,200. ⁴⁶ All were listed from the Levites organized by Moses, Aaron, and the heads of the families, ⁴⁷ who were between the ages of 30 and 50 and capable of performing their designated congregation tent tasks of maintenance and transportation, ⁴⁸ numbered 8,580. ⁴⁹ Each one had a job specified by the Eternal One and dictated through Moses. Each one was recorded by his job as the Eternal had commanded Moses to do.
