Numbers 3:8
"And they shall keep all the instruments of the tabernacle of the congregation, and the charge of the children of Israel, to do the service of the tabernacle."

Commentary

Gill's Exposition

And they shall keep all the instruments of the tabernacle of the congregation,.... Take care of them that none be lost or come to any damage, especially while it was

moving, and carried from place to place; then the several parts of it, as well as the vessels in it, were committed to their care and charge, the particulars of which see in Num 3:25 , and the charge of the children of Israel, to do the service of the tabernacle; See Gill on Num 3:7 .
