“And the tabernacle was taken down; and the sons of Gershon and the sons of Merari set forward, bearing the tabernacle.”
Then the tabernacle was taken down, and the Gershonites and the Merarites, who carried the tabernacle, set out — after the first camp has departed, the sanctuary itself is dismantled and transported. The Gershonites (who carry the tent covering) and Merarites (who carry the structural elements) follow the first division. The sanctuary is portable; God's dwelling journeys with his people.
