At the appointment of Aaron and his sons,.... As they shall order and direct:
shall be all the service of the sons of the Gershonites; everyone of them was to take their share, as Aaron and his sons should appoint them:
in all their burdens, and in all their service; what each of them should carry, and in what they should perform duty:
and ye shall appoint to them in charge all their burdens; charge them carefully to keep all that were committed to them to bear, that none be lost, not a pin nor a cord.
