“And under the custody and charge of the sons of Merari shall be the boards of the tabernacle, and the bars thereof, and the pillars thereof, and the sockets thereof, and all the vessels thereof, and all that serveth thereto,”
And the charge of the sons of Merari shall be the boards of the tabernacle, and the bars thereof, and the pillars thereof, and the sockets thereof — Merari's responsibility covers the tabernacle's structural elements, work that is essential but less sacred than Kohath's charge of the most holy furnishings. The enumeration indicates how the three clans' responsibilities are complementary: Gershon handles coverings, Kohath carries holy things, Merari maintains the structure.
