Contextual Overview
1The Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron: 2“Among the Levites, take a census of the Kohathites by their clans and their ancestral families, 3men from thirty years old to fifty years old—everyone who is qualified to do work at the tent of meeting. 4“The service of the Kohathites at the tent of meeting concerns the most holy objects. 5Whenever the camp is about to move on, Aaron and his sons are to go in, take down the screening curtain, and cover the ark of the testimony with it. 6They are to place over this a covering made of fine leather, spread a solid blue cloth on top, and insert its poles. 7“They are to spread a blue cloth over the table of the Presence and place the plates and cups on it, as well as the bowls and pitchers for the drink offering. The regular bread offering is to be on it. 8They are to spread a scarlet cloth over them, cover them with a covering made of fine leather, and insert the poles in the table. 9“They are to take a blue cloth and cover the lampstand used for light, with its lamps, snuffers, and firepans, as well as its jars of oil by which they service it. 10Then they are to place it with all its utensils inside a covering made of fine leather and put them on the carrying frame.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Take the sum of the sons of Kohath from among the sons of Levi,.... They were to begin with them first, and number them:
after their families, by the house of their fathers; as many as were of the age after mentioned; and the reason why they began with Kohath, and not Gershon, the eldest son, as in the former numbering, was; not as Aben Ezra suggests, because of Moses and Aaron, who sprung from him, for that, if it had any strength in it, would have held good before; but rather, as Chaskuni and others, because the Kohathites carried the ark and other holy things; though the true reason seems to be, because of the order observed in taking down the tabernacle, and removing the parts of it, and the things in it; and it was most proper and reasonable, when they were about to take it down, first to take out the ark, table, c. which was the business of the Kohathites to carry next to take down the curtains, coverings, and hangings for the tabernacle and court, and the doors thereof, which were the charge of the Merarites; wherefore, in this order the sum out of each of them fit for business were ordered to be numbered.
