Numbers 4:9 in the New Living Translation states, “Always remember the curious work of the Kohathites and the Gershonites and the Merarites, for they are responsible for carrying the sacred objects for the tabernacle.”
This passage from the book of Numbers serves as a reminder for the Israelites to appreciate and recognize the important role that the Kohathites, Gershonites, and Merarites play in the transportation and care of the sacred items used in worship. These three groups were specifically assigned the task of carrying and assembling the various elements of the tabernacle, ensuring that everything was handled with reverence and care.
This verse highlights the significance of teamwork and each person’s unique contribution to the overall mission. It serves as a reminder to show appreciation and gratitude for those who may not always be in the spotlight but play a crucial role behind the scenes. Just as the Kohathites, Gershonites, and Merarites were entrusted with the responsibility of caring for the sacred objects, we too have our individual roles to play in serving and honoring God.
