Numbers 4:1-8 ▼

1 The LORD told Moses and Aaron,

2 |Take a census of the descendants of Kohath from among the descendants of Levi according to their tribes and ancestral houses

3 from 30 years and older through the age of 50 years, from everyone who can enter the service to perform work at the Tent of Meeting.

4 |Here's what the descendants of Kohath are to do regarding the Tent of Meeting and what's inside the Most Holy Place:

5 When the camp is about to travel, Aaron and his sons are to come and take down the veil of the curtain and cover the Ark of the Testimony with it.

6 They are to set a leather-dyed skin covering over it, cover it with a pure blue cloth, and then insert its poles.

7 |They are to spread a blue cloth over the table of the Presence and on top of it the dishes, pans, bowls, pitchers for drink offerings, and the bread of presence are to be on it continually.

8 They are to spread over them a scarlet cloth and a leather-dyed skin covering and then insert its poles.
