1 Yahweh spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying,
2 “Take a census of the descendants of Kohath from the midst of the descendants of Levi, according to their clans and their families,
3 from thirty years old and above, up to fifty years old, everyone who comes to the service to do the work in the tent of assembly.
4 This is the work of the descendants of Kohath in the tent of assembly, concerning the holiness of the sanctuary:
5 When setting out the camp, Aaron and his sons will go and lower the curtain of the covering and cover with it the ark of the testimony.
6 They will put on it a covering of fine leather, and they will spread a cloth of perfect blue over it, and they will place its poles.
7 And over the table of the presence they will spread out a blue cloth and put on it the plates, dishes, and libation bowls, and the pitchers of the libation; and the bread of continuity will be on it.
