3AMS

And their charge shall be the ark, and the table, and the candlestick, and the altars, and the vessels of the sanctuary wherewith they minister, and the hanging, and all the service thereof. (Numbers 3:31)

The ark, and the table, and the candlestick.

See on Ex. 25:10-39.

The altars.

The two altars, one for burnt offerings (Ex. 27:1) and one for incense (Ex. 30:1-10), were alike entrusted to their care.

The hanging.

The curtains of the tabernacle and the court were assigned to the Gershonites (v. 25). The “hanging” refers to the veil that separated the holy from the most holy place (Ex. 26:31, 33, 35; 27:21; 30:6; 36:35; 38:27; 40:3, 22, 26; Lev. 4:17; 16:2, 12, 15; 21:23). The expression in Num. 4:5 “the covering vail” means, literally, “the veil of the screen” (also Ex. 40:3, 21).
