Gill's Notes on the Bible
From thirty years old and upward,.... The Septuagint version here, and in Numbers 4:3, renders it, from twenty five years old and upward, agreeable to Numbers 8:24, at the which age the Levites went into the tabernacle, to wait and to learn their business, but they did not enter upon it till thirty;
even unto fifty years old shalt thou number them; at which age they were discharged from business:
everyone that entereth into the service, to do the work of the tabernacle of the congregation; Numbers 8:24- :.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The Gershonites and Merarites are superintended by Ithamar, Aaronâs younger son, who had already had the oversight of the tabernacle in its construction Exodus 38:21. Thus, readily do the permanent offices of the leaders of the Israelite community spring out of the duties which, under the emergencies of the first year of the Exodus, they had been led, from time to time, to undertake.
Numbers 4:32
By name ye shall reckon the instruments - Or, assign them to their bearers singly, and âby name.â These âinstrumentsâ comprised the heavier parts of the tabernacle; and the order seems intended to prevent individual Merarites choosing their own burden, and so throwing more than the proper share on others.
