Numbers 4:27
"At the appointment of Aaron and his sons shall be all the service of the sons of the Gershonites, in all their burdens, and in all their service: and ye shall appoint unto them in charge all their burdens."

Commentary

Gill's Exposition

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.
