Numbers 4:1-6 ▼

1 The LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron:

2 “Among the Levites, take a census of the Kohathites by their clans and their ancestral families,

3 men from thirty years old to fifty years old—everyone who is qualified to do work at the tent of meeting.

4 “The service of the Kohathites at the tent of meeting concerns the most holy objects.

5 Whenever the camp is about to move on, Aaron and his sons are to go in, take down the screening curtain, and cover the ark of the testimony with it.

6 They are to place over this a covering made of fine leather, spread a solid blue cloth on top, and insert its poles.
