*
And Yahweh spoke to Moses and to Aaron ,
saying ,
*
Take the sum of the sons of Kohath from among the sons of Levi ,
by their families ,
by their fathers '
houses ,
*
from thirty years old and upward even until fifty years old ,
all who enter on the service ,
to do the work in the tent of meeting .
*
This is the service of the sons of Kohath in the tent of meeting , [
about ]
the most holy things :
*
when the camp sets forward ,
Aaron will go in ,
and his sons ,
and they will take down the veil of the screen ,
and cover the ark of the testimony with it ,
*
and will put on it a covering of sealskin ,
and will spread over it a cloth of all blue ,
and will put in its poles .
*
And on the table of showbread they will spread a cloth of blue ,
and put on it the dishes ,
and the spoons ,
and the bowls and the cups with which to pour out ;
and the continual bread will be on it :
*
and they will spread on them a cloth of scarlet ,
and cover the same with a covering of sealskin ,
and will put in its poles .
*
And they will take a cloth of blue ,
and cover the lampstand of the light ,
and its lamps ,
and its snuffers ,
and its snuffdishes ,
and all the oil vessels of it ,
with which they minister to it :
*
and they will put it and all its vessels inside a covering of sealskin ,
and will put it on the frame .
*
And on the golden altar they will spread a cloth of blue ,
and cover it with a covering of sealskin ,
and will put in its poles :
*
and they will take all the vessels of ministry ,
with which they minister in the sanctuary ,
and put them in a cloth of blue ,
and cover them with a covering of sealskin ,
and will put them on the frame .
*
And they will take away the ashes from the altar ,
and spread a purple cloth on it :
*
and they will put on it all its vessels ,
with which they minister about it ,
the firepans ,
the flesh-hooks ,
and the shovels ,
and the basins ,
all the vessels of the altar ;
and they will spread on it a covering of sealskin ,
and put in its poles .
*
And when Aaron and his sons have made an end of covering the sanctuary ,
and all the furniture of the sanctuary ,
as the camp is set forward ;
after that ,
the sons of Kohath will come to bear it :
but they will not touch the sanctuary ,
or they will die .
These things are the burden of the sons of Kohath in the tent of meeting .
*
And the charge of Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest will be the oil for the light ,
and the sweet incense ,
and the continual meal-offering ,
and the anointing oil ,
the charge of all the tabernacle ,
and of all that is in it ,
the sanctuary ,
and its furniture .
*
And Yahweh spoke to Moses and to Aaron ,
saying ,
*
Don '
t cut off the tribe of the families of the Kohathites from among the Levites ;
*
but do this to them ,
that they may live ,
and not die ,
when they approach to the most holy things :
Aaron and his sons will go in ,
and appoint them each man to his service and to his burden ;
*
but they will not go in to see the sanctuary even for a moment ,
or they will die .
*
And Yahweh spoke to Moses ,
saying ,
*
Take the sum of the sons of Gershon also ,
by their fathers '
houses ,
by their families ;
*
from thirty years old and upward until fifty years old ,
you will number them ;
all who enter in to wait on the service ,
to do the work in the tent of meeting .
*
This is the service of the families of the Gershonites ,
in serving and in bearing burdens :
*
they will bear the curtains of the tabernacle ,
and the tent of meeting ,
its covering ,
and the covering of sealskin that is above on it ,
and the screen for the door of the tent of meeting ,
*
and the hangings of the court ,
and the screen for the door of the gate of the court ,
which is by the tabernacle and by the altar round about ,
and their cords ,
and all the instruments of their service ,
and whatever will be done with them :
