Order in God's House
Commentators note that the Gershonites were placed "under the hand of Ithamar," Aaron's younger son. This establishes a clear structure of leadership and accountability. Scholars point out that Ithamar had previous experience (Exodus 38:21), showing how God often develops leaders over time. This organized system highlights God's value for order and clear roles in His service.
