They shall have charge of all the furnishings of the tent of meeting: Have charge of renders the Hebrew verb shamar (see 1.53). Here it may be rendered “take care of” (New Century Version). For the Tabernacle’s furnishings, see 1.50.

And attend to the duties for the people of Israel: Attend to the duties renders the same intensified Hebrew verb plus cognate noun construction (shamar mishmeret) as in the previous verse (see the comments there).

As they minister at the tabernacle: See the comments on the previous verse.
