Numbers 4:23
Service of the Gershonites
The age limits for the Gershonites are the same as for the Kohathites. They have to carry all the curtains and coverings of the tent, with the accompanying cords and equipment. Their job is to ensure that the curtains and coverings are taken off, transported and hung or placed again in the right place and in the right way.The coverings speak of our behavior, our habits, what people see of us. The Lord gives servants who take special care to ensure that believers behave in accordance with their position as members of the church of God. They will help the believers to live for the Lord’s honor. Their service is aimed at ensuring that believers display the features of the Lord Jesus in their lives.The coverings that are under the care of the Gershonites also speak of separation. They shield the tabernacle from the environment. However, it is not only about separation from, but also about separation to, which means to God. The whole tabernacle is dedicated to God. The same applies to the church, which should be separate from the world and entirely dedicated to God.
