Numbers 4:40
38 Then the Gershonites were numbered by their clans and families,
39 everyone from thirty to fifty years old who came to serve in the work at the Tent of Meeting.
And those numbered by their clans and families totaled 2,630.
41 These were counted from the Gershonite clans who served at the Tent of Meeting, whom Moses and Aaron counted at the LORD’s command.
42 And the Merarites were numbered by their clans and families,
This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
