Gershonites

Moses divided the Levites into three sections by their descent from the sons of Levi, namely, Gershon, Kohath, and Merari. They were under the general supervision of Eleazar, the son of Aaron.

The Gershonites had a leader named Eliasaph (Num. 3:24). They numbered 7,500 men, with 2,630 qualified for active service (3:22; 4:40). They camped on the west side of the Tabernacle (3:23). Their duty was to have charge of taking down and setting up the curtains, the tent, the coverings and the hanging for the door of the Tabernacle, the hangings of the court and the court entrance, their cords and instruments of service (3:25-26; 4:22-28).
