29 The families of the sons of Kohath were to camp on the south side of the tabernacle,

30 and the leader of the fathers’ households of the families of the Kohathites was Elizaphan the son of Uzziel.

31 Now their responsibilities involved the ark, the table [on which the bread of the Presence was placed], the lampstand, the altars, the utensils of the sanctuary with which the priests minister, and the curtain, and all the service concerning them.

32 Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, was chief of the leaders of the Levites; he supervised those who performed the duties of the sanctuary.

33 Of Merari were the families of the Mahlites and the Mushites; these are the families of Merari.

34 The males who were numbered, every male from a month old and upward totaled 6,200.

35 The leader of the fathers’ households of the families of Merari was Zuriel the son of Abihail. The Merarites were to camp on the north side of the tabernacle.
