Numbers 4:2-15
2TakeH5375 the sum of the sonsH1121 of KohathH6955 from among the sonsH1121 of LeviH3881, by their familiesH4940, by their fathers’H1 housesH1004,
3from thirtyH7970 yearsH8141 old and upwardH4605 even until fiftyH2572 yearsH8141 old, all that enter upon the serviceH6635, to do the workH4399 in the tentH168 of meetingH4150.
4This is the serviceH5656 of the sonsH1121 of KohathH6955 in the tentH168 of meetingH4150, about the most holyH6944 thingsH6944:
5when the campH4264 setteth forward, AaronH175 shall goH935 in, and his sonsH1121, and they shall take down the veil of the screenH4539, and coverH3680 the arkH727 of the testimonyH5715 with it,
6and shall putH5414 thereon a coveringH3681 of sealskin, and shall spreadH6566 over it a clothH899 all of blueH8504, and shall putH5414 in the staves thereof.
7And upon the tableH7979 of showbread they shall spreadH6566 a clothH899 of blueH8504, and putH5414 thereon the dishesH7086, and the spoons, and the bowlsH4518 and the cups wherewith to pour out; and the continual breadH3899 shall beH1961 thereon:
8and they shall spreadH6566 upon them a clothH899 of scarletH8144, and coverH3680 the same with a coveringH4372 of sealskin, and shall putH7760 in the staves thereof.
9And they shall takeH3947 a clothH899 of blueH8504, and coverH3680 the candlestick of the lightH3974, and its lampsH5216, and its snuffers, and its snuffdishes, and all the oilH8081 vesselsH3627 thereof, wherewith they minister unto it:
10and they shall putH5414 it and all the vesselsH3627 thereof within a coveringH4372 of sealskin, and shall putH5414 it upon the frame.
11And upon the golden altarH4196 they shall spreadH6566 a clothH899 of blueH8504, and coverH3680 it with a coveringH4372 of sealskin, and shall putH7760 in the staves thereof:
12and they shall takeH3947 all the vesselsH3627 of ministry, wherewith they minister in the sanctuaryH6944, and putH5414 them in a clothH899 of blueH8504, and coverH3680 them with a coveringH4372 of sealskin, and shall putH5414 them on the frame.
13And they shall takeH1878 awayH1878 the ashesH1878 from the altarH4196, and spreadH6566 a purpleH713 clothH899 thereon:
14and they shall putH5414 upon it all the vesselsH3627 thereof, wherewith they minister about it, the firepansH4289, the flesh-hooks, and the shovelsH3257, and the basins, all the vesselsH3627 of the altarH4196; and they shall spreadH6566 upon it a coveringH3681 of sealskin, and putH5414 in the staves thereof.
15And when AaronH175 and his sonsH1121 have made an endH3615 of coveringH3680 the sanctuaryH6944, and all the furniture of the sanctuaryH6944, as the campH4264 is setH5265 forward; after that, the sonsH1121 of KohathH6955 shall comeH935 to bearH5375 it: but they shall not touchH5060 the sanctuaryH6944, lest they dieH4191. These thingsH428 are the burdenH4853 of the sonsH1121 of KohathH6955 in the tentH168 of meetingH4150.
