Num. 4:1–49 Levites between 30 and 50 years old were responsible for moving the tabernacle from campsite to campsite. This chapter specifies what each Levitical clan must do (vv. 3–33) and then records their number (vv. 34–49). For a full description of the tabernacle, see Exodus 25–31 and notes on Exodus 25–31, and illustration.
Num. 4:1–20 The Kohathite priests handle the most holy items of the tabernacle (such as the ark, lampstand, and altars). The non-priestly Kohathites will die if they even look at these objects (compare Ex. 33:20).
