Contextual Overview
21 The Lord said to Moses, 22 "Number the sons of Gershon also, by their fathers' houses, by their families. 23 Number those who are thirty years old and older, to fifty years old, all who go in to do the work in the meeting tent. 24 These are the duties of the families of the Gershonites, in working and in carrying. 25 They will carry the curtains of the meeting tent and the meeting tent with its covering and the covering of badgers' skins that is over it. They will carry the curtain for the door of the meeting tent, 26 the curtains of the open space, and the curtain for the gate of the open space which is around the meeting tent and the altar. And they will carry the ropes for the curtains, and all the things used for their work. They will do whatever needs to be done with them. 27 All the work of the sons of the Gershonites will be what Aaron and his sons tell them to do. They will tell them what they are to carry and what work they are to do. You will tell them what things they have a duty to carry. 28 This is the work to be done by the families of the sons of the Gershonites in the meeting tent. Ithamar the son of Aaron the religious leader will watch over their duties. 29 "As for the sons of Merari, number them by their families and by their fathers' houses. 30 Number those who are thirty years old and older, to fifty years old, everyone who goes in to do the work of the meeting tent.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Take also the sum of the sons of Gershon,.... As well as of the sons of Kohath; for though Gershon was Levi's eldest son, yet his posterity were not excused from the service of the tabernacle, and bearing things of it in journeying:
throughout the houses of their fathers, by their families; all in their several houses, and in the several families in those houses, that were of the age next mentioned, were to be numbered.
