When Aharon and his sons have finished covering the holy furnishings and all the holy utensils, when the camp is about to move forward, then the descendants of K'hat are to come and carry them.

ADONAI said to Moshe and Aharon,
18
"Do not cut off the clan of K'hat from among the L'vi'im;
19
rather, do this for them, so that they will live and not die: when they approach the especially holy things, Aharon and his sons are to go in -and you are to assign each one his task;
20
but the descendants of K'hat are not to go in and look at the holy things as they are being covered; if they do, they will die."
