Numbers 4:2–9

2  Take the sum of the sons of Kohath from among the sons of Levi, after their families, according to their fathers’ houses, 3  from thirty years old and upward even unto fifty years old, all that enter into the service, to do the work in the tent of meeting. 4  This shall be the service of the sons of Kohath in the tent of meeting: it is most holy. 5  And when the camp setteth forward, Aaron and his sons shall go in, and they shall take down the veil of separation and cover the ark of testimony with it; 6  and shall put thereon a covering of badgers’ skin, and shall spread over it a cloth wholly of blue, and shall put its staves to it. 7  And upon the table of shewbread they shall spread a cloth of blue; and put thereon the dishes, and the cups, and the bowls, and goblets of the drink-offering; and the continual bread shall be thereon. 8  And they shall spread upon them a cloth of scarlet, and cover it with a covering of badgers’ skin, and shall put its staves to it. 9  And they shall take a cloth of blue, and cover the candlestick of the light, and its lamps, and its snuffers, and its snuff-trays, and all the oil vessels thereof, wherewith they perform its service;
