1
And Jehovah spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
2
Take the sum of the sons of Kohath from among the sons of Levi, after their families, according to their fathers' houses,
3
from thirty years old and upward even unto fifty years old, all that enter into the service, to do the work in the tent of meeting.
4
This shall be the service of the sons of Kohath in the tent of meeting: it is most holy.
5
And when the camp setteth forward, Aaron and his sons shall go in, and they shall take down the veil of separation and cover the ark of testimony with it;
6
and shall put thereon a covering of badgers' skin, and shall spread over it a cloth wholly of blue, and shall put its staves [to it].
7
And upon the table of shewbread they shall spread a cloth of blue; and put thereon the dishes, and the cups, and the bowls, and goblets of the drink-offering; and the continual bread shall be thereon.
8
And they shall spread upon them a cloth of scarlet, and cover it with a covering of badgers' skin, and shall put its staves [to it].
9
And they shall take a cloth of blue, and cover the candlestick of the light, and its lamps, and its snuffers, and its snuff-trays, and all the oil vessels thereof, wherewith they perform its service;
10
and they shall put it and all the utensils thereof within a covering of badgers' skin, and shall put it upon a pole.
11
And upon the golden altar they shall spread a cloth of blue, and cover it with a covering of badgers' skin, and shall put its staves [to it].
