Numbers 4:1-6 ▼

1 Then the LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron:

2 Take a census of the Kohathites from among the Levites, by their families and by their clans,

3 from thirty years old and upward to fifty years old, all who enter the company to do the work in the tent of meeting.

4 This is the service of the Kohathites in the tent of meeting, relating to the most holy things.

5 When it is time for the camp to journey, Aaron and his sons must come and take down the screening curtain and cover the ark of the testimony with it.

6 Then they must put over it a covering of fine leather and spread over that a cloth entirely of blue, and then they must insert its poles.
