The family of Merari, though smaller than either of the other families of Levi, yet had a greater number of able men than any of them; for out of 6,200 males of a month old and upwards, we find 3,200 who were neither too young nor too old for the service of the sanctuary; which was more than one-half of their whole number.
In this the wisdom and providence of God appear most conspicuously; for the Merarites were charged with the heaviest part of the sanctuary, as the boards, bars, sockets, etc; and though waggons were afterwards provided for them, yet the loading and unloading of the sockets, and other things of great weight, would require much strength, both bodily and numerical.
(Compare ver. 36, 40, with ch. 3:22, 28, 24.) Thus God ever manifests his wisdom, in fitting men for the work to which they are appointed, whether with respect to number or gifts:
"For to one is given, by the Spirit, the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge, by the same Spirit; to another faith, by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing, by the same Spirit; to another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues:
but all these worketh that one and the self-same Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will."
Num. 3:34• 34And those that were numbered of them, according to the number of all the males, from a month old and upward, were six thousand two hundred. (Num. 3:34)
;
Deut. 33:25• 25Thy shoes iron and copper;{HR}And thy strength as thy days. (Deut. 33:25)

1 Cor. 10:13• 13No temptation hath taken you save a human one: but God [is] faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted above what ye are able, but will with the temptation make also the issue that ye may be able to bear [it]. (1 Cor. 10:13)
;
1 Cor. 12:8‑12• 8For to one, through the Spirit, is given [the] word of wisdom, and to another [the] word of knowledge, according to the same Spirit;
 9to a different one faith by the same Spirit, and to another gifts of healings by the same Spirit,
 10and to another operations of powers, and to another prophecy, and to another discerning of spirits; to a different one kinds of tongues, and to another interpretation of tongues.
 11But all these things operateth the one and the same Spirit, dividing in particular to each as he pleaseth.
 12For even as the body is one and hath many members, and all the members of the body, being many, are one body, so also is Christ. (1 Cor. 12:8‑12)
;
2 Cor. 12:9‑10• 9and he hath said to me, My grace is sufficient for thee; for [my] power is perfected in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather boast in my weaknesses that the power of Christ may rest on me.
 10Wherefore I take pleasure in weaknesses, in insults, in necessities, in persecutions, in straits for Christ; for when I am weak, then am I strong. (2 Cor. 12:9‑10)
