Numbers 3:37

And the pillars of the court round about, and their sockets, and their pins, and their cords.

Cross-reference

In Numbers 3:25, Gershon's duties involve the tent; here Merari's duties involve the court. Both are Levite family assignments in the same chapter.

In Numbers 4:31, the same Merari duties (pillars, sockets) are restated in detail for transport, directly echoing this verse.

Numbers 7:8 Historical context

In Numbers 7:8, four wagons are given to Merari because their heavy loads include the court pillars listed here.

Numbers 10:17 Historical context

In Numbers 10:17, Merari and Gershon carry the tabernacle—including the court pillars from this verse—during the journey.

In Exodus 27:19, the same bronze pegs and sockets for the court are commanded, matching the items assigned to Merari here.
