CLV⁽ⁱ⁾ ³⁶ And the supervision, the charge of the sons of Merari, was the hollow tapers of the tabernacle and its bars, its columns and its sockets, all its furnishings and all its service, ³⁷ also the columns of the court round about and their sockets, their pegs and their cords. ³⁸ Those encamping before the tabernacle eastward, before the tent of appointment, toward the sunrise, were Moses and Aaron and his sons, the ones keeping charge of the sanctuary as the charge of the sons of Israel. But any alien who comes near shall be put to death. ³⁹ All the ones being mustered of the Levites whom Moses and Aaron mustered at the bidding of Yahweh by their families, every male from a month old and upward were twenty-two thousand.
