5“When the camp sets out, Aaron and his sons shall go in and take down 1the veil of the curtain, and cover the 2ark of the testimony with it;

6and they shall place a 3covering of 4fine leather on it, and spread over it a cloth of pure 5violet, and insert its carrying poles.

7Over the table of the bread of the Presence they shall also spread a cloth of violet and put on it the dishes, the pans, the sacrificial bowls, and the jugs for the drink offering; and 6the continual bread shall be on it.

8And they shall spread over them a cloth of scarlet material, and cover the same with a covering of fine leather, and they shall insert its carrying poles.

9Then they shall take a violet cloth and cover the 7lampstand for the light, 8along with its lamps, its tongs, its trays, and all its oil containers, by which they attend to it;

10and they shall put it and all its utensils in a covering of fine leather, and put it on the carrying 9bars.

11Over the golden altar they shall spread a violet cloth, and cover it with a covering of fine leather, and they shall insert its carrying poles;
