Contextual Overview
1 Now these are the records of the generations of Aaron and Moses at the time when the LORD spoke with Moses on Mount Sinai. 2 These then are the names of the sons of Aaron: Nadab the firstborn, and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar. 3 These are the names of the sons of Aaron, the anointed priests, whom he ordained to serve as priests. 4 But Nadab and Abihu died in the presence of the LORD when they offered strange fire before the LORD in the wilderness of Sinai; and they had no children. So Eleazar and Ithamar served as priests in the lifetime of their father Aaron. 5 Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 6 "Bring the tribe of Levi forward and present them before Aaron the priest, that they may serve him. 7 "They shall perform the duties for him and for the whole congregation in front of the tent of meeting, to do the service of the tabernacle. 8 "They shall also take care of all the furnishings of the tent of meeting, along with the duties of the sons of Israel, to do the service of the tabernacle.9 "So you shall assign the Levites to Aaron and to his sons; they are exclusively assigned to him from the sons of Israel. 10 "So you shall appoint Aaron and his sons that they may keep their priesthood, but the layman who comes near shall be put to death."

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And they shall keep all the instruments of the tabernacle of the congregation,.... Take care of them that none be lost or come to any damage, especially while it was moving, and carried from place to place; then the several parts of it, as well as the vessels in it, were committed to their care and charge, the particulars of which see in Numbers 3:25;
and the charge of the children of Israel, to do the service of the tabernacle; Numbers 3:25- :.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Numbers 3:8. All the instruments — The tabernacle itself and all its contents: see all described, Numbers 3:25-26; Numbers 3:31; Numbers 3:36-37. The Levites were to perform the most common and laborious offices. It was their business to take down, put up, and carry the tabernacle and its utensils; for it was the object of their peculiar care. In a word, they were the servants of the priests.
