Numbers 4:1-5 ▼

1 The LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying:

2 Take a census of the Kohathites separate from the other Levites, by their clans and their ancestral houses,

3 from thirty years old up to fifty years old, all who qualify to do work relating to the tent of meeting.

4 The service of the Kohathites relating to the tent of meeting concerns the most holy things.

5 When the camp is to set out, Aaron and his sons shall go in and take down the screening curtain, and cover the ark of the covenant with it;
