04:004:015 And when Aaron and his sons have made an end of covering the
           sanctuary, and all the vessels of the sanctuary, as the camp
           is to set forward; after that, the sons of Kohath shall come
           to bear it:  but they shall not touch any holy thing, lest they
           die.  These things are the burden of the sons of Kohath in the
           tabernacle of the congregation.

04:004:016 And to the office of Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest
           pertaineth the oil for the light, and the sweet incense, and
           the daily meat offering, and the anointing oil, and the
           oversight of all the tabernacle, and of all that therein is,
           in the sanctuary, and in the vessels thereof.

04:004:017 And the lord spake unto Moses and unto Aaron saying,

04:004:018 Cut ye not off the tribe of the families of the Kohathites
           from among the Levites: 

04:004:019 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: 

04:004:020 But they shall not go in to see when the holy things are
           covered, lest they die.

04:004:021 And the lord spake unto Moses, saying,

04:004:022 Take also the sum of the sons of Gershon, throughout the
           houses of their fathers, by their families;

04:004:023 From thirty years old and upward until fifty years old shalt
           thou number them; all that enter in to perform the service, to
           do the work in the tabernacle of the congregation.

04:004:024 This is the service of the families of the Gershonites, to
           serve, and for burdens: 

04:004:025 And they shall bear the curtains of the tabernacle, and the
           tabernacle of the congregation, his covering, and the covering
           of the badgers’ skins that is above upon it, and the hanging
           for the door of the tabernacle of the congregation,

04:004:026 And the hangings of the court, and the hanging for the door of
           the gate of the court, which is by the tabernacle and by the
           altar round about, and their cords, and all the instruments of
           their service, and all that is made for them:  so shall they
           serve.

04:004:027 At the appointment of Aaron and his sons shall be all the
           service of the sons of the Gershonites, in all their burdens,
           and in all their service:  and ye shall appoint unto them in
           charge all their burdens.

04:004:028 This is the service of the families of the sons of Gershon in
           the tabernacle of the congregation:  and their charge shall be
           under the hand of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest.
