04:001
And HaShem spoke unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying
04:002
'Take the sum of the sons of Kohath from among the sons of
Levi, by their families, by their fathers' houses
04:003
from thirty years old and upward even until fifty years
old, all that enter upon the service, to do work in the tent of meeting
04:004
This is the service of the sons of Kohath in the tent of
meeting, about the most holy things
04:005
when the camp setteth forward, Aaron shall go in, and his
sons, and they shall take down the veil of the screen, and cover the ark of the
testimony with it
04:006
and shall put thereon a covering of sealskin, and shall
spread over it a cloth all of blue, and shall set the staves thereof
04:007
And upon the table of showbread they shall spread a cloth
of blue, and put thereon the dishes, and the pans, and the bowls, and the jars
wherewith to pour out; and the continual bread shall remain thereon
04:008
And they shall spread upon them a cloth of scarlet, and
cover the same with a covering of sealskin, and shall set the staves thereof
04:009
And they shall take a cloth of blue, and cover the
candlestick of the light, and its lamps, and its tongs, and its snuffdishes, and
all the oil vessels thereof, wherewith they minister unto it
04:010
And they shall put it and all the vessels thereof within a
covering of sealskin, and shall put it upon a bar
04:011
And upon the golden altar they shall spread a cloth of
blue, and cover it with a covering of sealskin, and shall set the staves
thereof

04:013
And they shall take away the ashes from the altar, and
spread a purple cloth thereon
04:014
And they shall put upon it all the vessels thereof,
wherewith they minister about it, the fire-pans, the flesh-hooks, and the
shovels, and the basins, all the vessels of the altar; and they shall spread
upon it a covering of sealskin, and set the staves thereof
04:015
And when Aaron and his sons have made an end of covering
the holy furniture, and all the holy vessels, as the camp is to set
forward--after that, the sons of Kohath shall come to bear them; but they shall
not touch the holy things, lest they die. These things are the burden of the
sons of Kohath in the tent of meeting
04:016
And the charge of Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest
shall be the oil for the light, and the sweet incense, and the continual
meal-offering, and the anointing oil: he shall have the charge of all the
tabernacle, and of all that therein is, whether it be the sanctuary, or the
furniture thereof.
04:017
And HaShem spoke unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying
04:018
'Cut ye not off the tribe of the families of the
Kohathites from among the Levites
04:019
but thus do unto them, that they may live, and not die,
when they approach unto the most holy things: Aaron and his sons shall go in,
and appoint them every one to his service and to his burden
04:020
but they shall not go in to see the holy things as they
are being covered, lest they die.
04:021

04:022
'Take the sum of the sons of Gershon also, by their

from thirty years old and upward until fifty years old
shalt thou number them: all that enter in to wait upon the service, to do
service in the tent of meeting

it, and the screen for the door of the tent of meeting
04:026
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

of the tent of meeting
04:031
And this is the charge of their burden, according to all
their service in the tent of meeting: the boards of the tabernacle, and the bars
thereof, and the pillars thereof, and the sockets thereof
04:032
and the pillars of the court round about, and their
