Exegesis
The relative asher {אֲשֶׁר | ʾă-šer} ‘that’ connects this subject to the verb pakad {פָּקַד | pā-qaḏ} ‘he counted’, where Moshe ve-aharon {מֹשֶׁה וְאַהֲרֹן | mō-šê wə-ʾă-ha-rôn} ‘Moses and Aaron’ function as agents.
In context — Numbers 4:45
These are the records of the clans of the sons of Merari, whom Moses and Aaron counted according to the command of the LORD by the hand of Moses.
