Each member of this clan was assigned specific tasks and duties related to the transportation and protection of these holy objects.

The chapter goes on to outline the specific procedures for dismantling, covering, and carrying the various components of the Tabernacle. It emphasizes the importance of following precise instructions to avoid any mishaps or desecration of the sacred items.
