Numbers 4:34-49

34So Moses, Aaron and the princes of the community counted the sons of the Kohathites according to their families and their ancestral households.

35All the men who came to do the service of the Tent of Meeting, from 30 to 50 years of age,

36were counted by families—2,750.

37This was the total of those in the families of the Kohathites, every one serving in the Tent of Meeting—Moses and Aaron counted them according to the mouth of Adonai by Moses’s hand.

38The sons of Gershon were counted according to their families and their ancestral households.

39Males from 30 years old and upward to 50, all those coming into the work of the service of the Tent of Meeting,

40numbered according to their families and ancestral households 2,630.

41These were those counted from the families of the sons of Gershon, each serving in the Tent of Meeting—Moses and Aaron counted according to the mouth of Adonai.

42Those were counted from the families and ancestral households of the sons of Merari,

43from 30 years of age upward to 50, who came to the work of the service of the Tent of Meeting.

44Numbered by their families, they were 3,200.

45These were those numbered from the families of the sons of Merari by Moses and Aaron in accordance with the mouth of Adonai by Moses’s hand.

46Thus Moses, Aaron and the princes of Israel counted all the Levites by their families and by their ancestral houses.

47All the men from 30 to 50 years old who came to do the work of the service and of carrying the Tent of Meeting

48numbered 8,580.

49From the mouth of Adonai by Moses’s hand, each man was assigned his work and his burden to carry. So they were counted, as Adonai commanded Moses.
