23 All those from thirty to fifty years old who are able to do the work of the Tent of meeting.

Matthew Henry's Commentary on Numbers 4:23

Commentary on Numbers 4:21-33

(Read Numbers 4:21-33)

We have here the charge of the other two families of the Levites, which, though not so honourable as the first, yet was necessary, and to be done regularly. All the things were delivered them by name. It intimates the care God takes of his church and every member of it. The death of the saints is represented as the taking down of the tabernacle, 2 Peter 1:14. All shall be raised up in the great day, when these vile bodies shall be made like the glorious body of Jesus Christ, and so shall be for ever with the Lord.
