NUMBERS 4

THE GERSHONITES, KOHATHITES, + THE MERARITES

The Levites are divided into three groups, named after Levi’s sons: the Gershonites, Kohathites, and Merarites. Each group is assigned a specific role in caring for the tabernacle.

The Gershonites are responsible for the fabric and coverings of the tabernacle, the Kohathites are responsible for the most sacred objects, and the Merarites are responsible for the frames and structural pieces.
