04:004:001 And the lord spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
04:004:002 Take the sum of the sons of Kohath from
among the sons of
Levi,
after their families, by the house of their fathers,
04:004:003 From thirty years old and upward even until
fifty years old,
all
that enter into the host, to do the work in the tabernacle
of
the congregation.
04:004:004 This shall be the service of the sons of
Kohath in the
tabernacle
of the congregation, about the most holy things:
04:004:005 And when the camp setteth forward, Aaron
shall come, and his
sons,
and they shall take down the covering vail, and cover
the
ark of testimony with it:
04:004:006 And shall put thereon the covering of badgers’
skins, and
shall
spread over it a cloth wholly of blue, and shall put
in
the
staves thereof.
04:004:007 And upon the table of shewbread they shall
spread a cloth of
blue,
and put thereon the dishes, and the spoons, and the
bowls,
and covers to cover withal: and the continual
bread
shall
be thereon:
04:004:008 And they shall spread upon them a cloth
of scarlet, and cover
the
same with a covering of badgers’ skins, and shall
put in
the
staves thereof.
04:004:009 And they shall take a cloth of blue, and
cover the candlestick
of
the light, and his lamps, and his tongs, and his
snuffdishes,
and all the oil vessels thereof, wherewith they
minister
unto it:
04:004:010 And they shall put it and all the vessels
thereof within a
covering
of badgers’ skins, and shall put it upon a bar.
04:004:011 And upon the golden altar they shall spread
a cloth of blue,
and
cover it with a covering of badgers’ skins, and
shall put
to
the staves thereof:
04:004:012 And they shall take all the instruments
of ministry, wherewith
they
minister in the sanctuary, and put them in a cloth
of
blue,
and cover them with a covering of badgers’ skins,
and
shall
put them on a bar:
04:004:013 And they shall take away the ashes from
the altar, and spread
a
purple cloth thereon:
04:004:014 And they shall put upon it all the vessels
thereof, wherewith
they
minister about it, even the censers, the fleshhooks,
and
the
shovels, and the basons, all the vessels of the altar;
and
they
shall spread upon it a covering of badgers’ skins,
and
put
to the staves of it.
