16. "The priest Eleazar will be in charge of the olive oil for the light. He is the son of Aaron. Eleazar will be in charge of the sweet-smelling incense. He will be in charge of the regular grain offering and the anointing oil. He will be in charge of the entire holy tent. He will also be in charge of everything that is in it. That includes all of the articles that belong to the tent."
17. The Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron. He said,
18. "Make sure that the Kohath families are not cut off from the Levites.
19. I want them to live and not die when they come near the very holy things. So here is what you must do for them. Aaron and his sons must go into the sacred tent and tell each man what to do. They must tell each man what to carry.
20. But the men of Kohath must not go in and look at the holy things. They must not look at them even for a moment. If they do, they will die."
21. The Lord said to Moses,
22. "Count the Gershon families. Make a list of them family by family.
23. Count all of the men who are from 30 to 50 years old. Those are the men who must come and serve at the Tent of Meeting.
