And the charge of the sons of Gershon in the tabernacle of the congregation shall be the tabernacle, and the tent, the covering thereof, and the hanging for the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, (Numbers 3:25)
The framework of the tabernacle itself was in charge of the Merarites (v. 36); so the “tabernacle” here evidently means the inner layer of ten curtains (see Ex. 26:1-14).
The tent.
The second layer of 11 curtains made of the hair of goats.
The covering.
The final layers of rams’ skins dyed red and “badgers’ skins” (see Ex. 26:14 and on Ex. 25:5).
