Numbers 4:5-7
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
5 In breaking camp, Aaron and his sons shall go in and take down the screening curtain[a] and cover the ark of the covenant with it. 6 Over these they shall put a cover of yellow-orange skin, and on top of this spread an all-violet cloth and put the poles in place. 7 On the table of the Presence they shall spread a violet cloth and put on it the plates and cups, as well as the bowls and pitchers for libations; the established bread offering shall remain on the table.
