5when the campH4264 setteth forwardH935, AaronH175 shall goH935 in, and his sonsH1121, and they shall takeH935 downH3381 the veilH6532 of the screenH4539, and coverH3680 the arkH727 of the testimonyH5715 with it:
6and shall putH5414 thereonH5921 a coveringH3681 of sealskin, and shall spreadH6566 over it a clothH899 allH3632 of blueH8504, and shall putH5414 in the staves thereof.
7And uponH5921 the tableH7979 of shewbread they shall spreadH6566 a clothH899 of blueH8504, and putH5414 thereonH5921 the dishesH7086, and the spoonsH3709, and the bowlsH4518, and the cups to pour outH6440 withal: and the continualH8548 breadH3899 shall be thereonH5921:
8and they shall spreadH6566 uponH5921 them a clothH899 of scarletH8144, and coverH3680 the sameH853 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 itsH3605 lampsH5216, and itsH3605 tongsH4457, and itsH3605 snuffdishes, and allH3605 the oilH8081 vesselsH3627 thereof, wherewith they ministerH8334 unto it:
10and they shall putH5414 it and allH3605 the vesselsH3627 thereof withinH5921 a coveringH4372 of sealskin, and shall putH5414 it uponH5921 the frame.
11And uponH5921 the goldenH2091 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 allH3605 the vesselsH3627 of ministry, wherewith they ministerH8334 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 thereonH5921:
14and they shall putH5414 uponH5921 it allH3605 the vesselsH3627 thereof, wherewith they ministerH8334 aboutH5921 it, the firepansH4289, the fleshhooks, and the shovelsH3257, and the basons, allH3605 the vesselsH3627 of the altarH4196; and they shall spreadH6566 uponH5921 it a coveringH3681 of sealskin, and putH5414 in the staves thereof.
15And when AaronH175 and his sonsH1121 have madeH3605 an endH3615 of coveringH3680 the sanctuaryH6944, and allH3605 the furnitureH3627 of the sanctuaryH6944, as the campH4264 is to setH5265 forwardH935; afterH310 that, the sonsH1121 of KohathH6955 shall comeH935 to bearH5375 it: but they shall notH3808 touchH5060 the sanctuaryH6944, lest they dieH4191. TheseH428 things are the burdenH4853 of the sonsH1121 of KohathH6955 in the tentH168 of meetingH4150.
16And the charge of EleazarH499 the sonH1121 of AaronH175 the priestH3548 shall be the oilH8081 for the lightH3974, and the sweetH5561 incenseH7004, and the continualH8548 mealH4503 offering, and the anointingH4888 oilH8081, the charge of allH3605 the tabernacleH4908, and of allH3605 that therein is, the sanctuaryH6944, and the furnitureH3627 thereof.
17And the LORDH3068 spake unto MosesH4872 and unto AaronH175, sayingH559,
18CutH3772 ye notH408 offH3772 the tribeH7626 of the familiesH4940 of the KohathitesH6956 from among the LevitesH3881:
19but thusH4191 doH6213 unto them, that they may liveH2421, and notH3808 dieH4191, when they approachH5066 unto the mostH6944 holyH6944 things: AaronH175 and his sonsH1121 shall goH935 in, and appointH7760 them everyH376 one to his serviceH5656 and to his burdenH4853:
20but they shall notH3808 goH935 in to seeH7200 the sanctuaryH6944 evenH3808 for a momentH1104, lest they dieH4191.
