Números 4
Biblia del Jubileo
4 ¶ Y habló el SEÑOR a Moisés y a Aarón, diciendo:
2 Toma la cuenta de los hijos de Coat de entre los hijos de Leví, por sus familias, por las casas de sus padres,
3 de edad de treinta años arriba hasta cincuenta años, todos los que entran en el ejército, para hacer obra en el tabernáculo del testimonio.
4 Este será el oficio de los hijos de Coat en el tabernáculo del testimonio, en el lugar santísimo:
5 Cuando se hubiere de mudar el campamento, vendrán Aarón y sus hijos, y desarmarán el velo de la tienda, y cubrirán con él el arca del testimonio;
6 y pondrán sobre ella la cubierta de pieles de tejones, y extenderán encima el paño todo de cárdeno, y le pondrán sus varas.
7 Y sobre la mesa de la proposición extenderán el paño cárdeno, y pondrán sobre ella las escudillas, y los cucharros, y los tazones y las cubiertas; y el pan continuo estará sobre ella.
8 Y extenderán sobre ella el paño de carmesí colorado, y lo cubrirán con la cubierta de pieles de tejones; y le pondrán sus varas.
9 Y tomarán el paño cárdeno, y cubrirán el candelero de la luminaria; y sus lámparas, y sus despabiladeras, y sus platillos, y todos sus vasos del aceite con que se sirve;
10 y lo pondrán con todos sus vasos en la cubierta de pieles de tejones, y lo pondrán sobre una vara.
11 Y sobre el altar de oro extenderán el paño cárdeno, y le cubrirán con la cubierta de pieles de tejones, y le pondrán sus varas.
12 Y tomarán todos los vasos del ministerio, con los cuales ministren en el santuario, y los pondrán en el paño cárdeno, y los cubrirán con la cubierta de pieles de tejones, y los pondrán sobre una vara.
13 Y quitarán la ceniza con la grosura quemada del altar, y extenderán sobre él el paño de púrpura;
14 y pondrán sobre él todos los vasos con los cuales se ministren: las paletas, los garfios, los braseros, y los tazones, todos los vasos del altar; y extenderán sobre él la cubierta de pieles de tejones, y le pondrán sobre las varas.
15 Y tan pronto acaben Aarón y sus hijos de cubrir el santuario y todos los vasos del santuario, cuando el campamento se hubiere de mudar, vendrán después de ello los hijos de Coat para llevarlos; mas no tocarán cosa santa, porque morirán. Estas serán las cargas de los hijos de Coat en el tabernáculo del testimonio.
16 Pero al cargo de Eleazar, hijo de Aarón el sacerdote, estará el aceite de la luminaria, y el perfume aromático, y el presente continuo, y el aceite de la unción; el cargo de todo el tabernáculo, y de todo lo que está en él, en el santuario, y en sus vasos.
17 Y habló el SEÑOR a Moisés y a Aarón, diciendo:
18 No cortaréis la tribu de las familias de Coat de entre los levitas;
19 mas esto haréis con ellos, para que vivan, y no mueran cuando llegaren al lugar santísimo: Aarón y sus hijos vendrán y los pondrán a cada uno en su ministerio, y en su cargo.
20 No entrarán para ver, cuando cubrieren las cosas santas; porque morirán.
21 ¶ Y habló el SEÑOR a Moisés diciendo:
22 Toma también la cuenta de los hijos de Gersón por las casas de sus padres, por sus familias.
23 De edad de treinta años arriba hasta cincuenta años los contarás; todos los que entran en compañía para hacer obra en el tabernáculo del testimonio.
24 Este será el oficio de las familias de Gersón, para ministrar y para llevar cargas:
25 Llevarán las cortinas del tabernáculo, y el tabernáculo del testimonio, su cubierta, y la cubierta de pieles de tejones que está sobre él encima, y el pabellón de la puerta del tabernáculo del testimonio,
26 y las cortinas del atrio, y el pabellón de la puerta del atrio, que está sobre el tabernáculo y sobre el altar alrededor, y sus cuerdas, y todos los instrumentos de su servicio, y todo lo que está hecho para ellos; así servirán.
27 Conforme al dicho de Aarón y de sus hijos será todo el ministerio de los hijos de Gersón en todas sus cargas, y en todo su servicio; y les encomendaréis en guarda todas sus cargas.
28 Este es el servicio de las familias de los hijos de Gersón en el tabernáculo del testimonio; y la guarda de ellos será por mano de Itamar, hijo de Aarón sacerdote.
29 Contarás los hijos de Merari por sus familias, por las casas de sus padres.
30 Desde el de edad de treinta años arriba hasta el de cincuenta años, los contarás; todos los que entran en compañía, para hacer obra en el tabernáculo del testimonio.
31 Y ésta será la guarda de su cargo para todo su servicio en el tabernáculo del testimonio: las tablas del tabernáculo, y sus barras, y sus columnas, y sus basas,
32 y las columnas del atrio alrededor, y sus basas, y sus estacas, y sus cuerdas con todos sus instrumentos, y todo su servicio; y contaréis por sus nombres todos los vasos de la guarda de su cargo.
33 Este será el servicio de las familias de los hijos de Merari para todo su ministerio en el tabernáculo del testimonio, por mano de Itamar, hijo de Aarón el sacerdote.
34 ¶ Moisés, pues, y Aarón, y los príncipes de la congregación, contaron los hijos de Coat por sus familias, y por las casas de sus padres,
35 desde el de edad de treinta años arriba hasta el de edad de cincuenta años; todos los que entran en compañía, para ministrar en el tabernáculo del testimonio.
36 Y fueron los contados de ellos por sus familias, dos mil setecientos cincuenta.
37 Estos fueron los contados de las familias de Coat, todos los que ministran en el tabernáculo del testimonio, los cuales contaron Moisés y Aarón, como lo mandó el SEÑOR por mano de Moisés.
38 Y los contados de los hijos de Gersón, por sus familias, y por las casas de sus padres,
39 desde el de edad de treinta años arriba hasta el de edad de cincuenta años, todos los que entran en compañía, para ministrar en el tabernáculo del testimonio;
40 los contados de ellos por sus familias, por las casas de sus padres, fueron dos mil seiscientos treinta.
41 Estos son los contados de las familias de los hijos de Gersón, todos los que ministran en el tabernáculo del testimonio, los cuales contaron Moisés y Aarón por mandato del SEÑOR.
42 Y los contados de las familias de los hijos de Merari, por sus familias, por las casas de sus padres,
43 desde el de edad de treinta años arriba hasta el de edad de cincuenta años, todos los que entran en compañía, para ministrar en el tabernáculo del testimonio;
44 los contados de ellos, por sus familias, fueron tres mil doscientos.
45 Estos fueron los contados de las familias de los hijos de Merari, los cuales contaron Moisés y Aarón, según lo mandó el SEÑOR por mano de Moisés.
46 Todos los contados de los levitas, que Moisés y Aarón y los príncipes de Israel contaron por sus familias, y por las casas de sus padres,
47 desde el de edad de treinta años arriba hasta el de edad de cincuenta años, todos los que entraban para servir en el ministerio, y llevar una carga en el tabernáculo del testimonio;
48 los contados de ellos fueron ocho mil quinientos ochenta.
49 Como lo mandó el SEÑOR por mano de Moisés fueron contados, cada uno según su ministerio, y según su cargo; los cuales contó Moisés, como le fue mandado.

Duties of the Kohathites
4 The Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron: 2 “Among the Levites, take a census of the Kohathites(A) by their clans and their ancestral houses, 3 men from 30 years old to 50 years old—everyone who is qualified[a] to do work at the tent of meeting.
4 “The service of the Kohathites at the tent of meeting concerns the most holy objects.(B) 5 Whenever the camp is about to move on, Aaron and his sons are to go in, take down the screening veil, and cover the ark of the testimony with it.(C) 6 They are to place over this a covering made of manatee skin,[b] spread a solid blue cloth on top, and insert its poles.(D)
7 “They are to spread a blue cloth over the table of the Presence and place the plates and cups on it, as well as the bowls and pitchers for the drink offering. The regular bread offering is to be on it.(E) 8 They are to spread a scarlet cloth over them, cover them with a covering made of manatee skin,[c] and insert the poles in the table.(F)
9 “They are to take a blue cloth and cover the lampstand(G) used for light, with its lamps, snuffers, and firepans,(H) as well as its jars of oil by which they service it. 10 Then they must place it with all its utensils inside a covering made of manatee skin[d] and put them on the carrying frame.
11 “They are to spread a blue cloth over the gold altar,(I) cover it with a covering made of manatee skin,[e] and insert its poles.(J) 12 They are to take all the serving utensils they use in the sanctuary, place them in a blue cloth, cover them with a covering made of manatee skin,[f] and put them on a carrying frame.
13 “They are to remove the ashes from the bronze altar, spread a purple cloth over it, 14 and place all the equipment on it that they use in serving: the firepans, meat forks, shovels, and basins—all the equipment of the altar.(K) They are to spread a covering made of manatee skin[g] over it and insert its poles.[h](L)
15 “Aaron and his sons are to finish covering the holy objects and all their equipment whenever the camp is to move on. The Kohathites will come and carry them, but they are not to touch the holy objects or they will die.(M) These are the transportation duties of the Kohathites regarding the tent of meeting.
16 “Eleazar, son of Aaron the priest, has oversight of the lamp oil,(N) the fragrant incense,(O) the daily grain offering,(P) and the anointing oil.(Q) He has oversight of the entire tabernacle and everything in it, the holy objects and their utensils.”[i]
17 Then the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron: 18 “Do not allow the Kohathite tribal clans to be wiped out from the Levites. 19 Do this for them so that they may live and not die when they come near the most holy objects:(R) Aaron and his sons are to go in and assign each man his task and transportation duty. 20 The Kohathites are not to go in and look at the holy objects, even for a moment,[j] or they will die.”
Duties of the Gershonites
21 The Lord spoke to Moses: 22 “Take a census of the Gershonites(S) also, by their ancestral houses and their clans. 23 Register men from 30 years old to 50 years old, everyone who is qualified to perform service, to do work at the tent of meeting. 24 This is the service of the Gershonite clans regarding work and transportation duties: 25 They are to transport the tabernacle curtains,(T) the tent of meeting with its covering and the covering made of manatee skin[k] on top of it, the screen for the entrance to the tent of meeting, 26 the hangings of the courtyard, the screen for the entrance at the gate of the courtyard that surrounds the tabernacle and the altar, along with their ropes and all the equipment for their service. They will carry out everything that needs to be done with these items.
27 “All the service of the Gershonites, all their transportation duties and all their other work, is to be done at the command of Aaron and his sons; you are to assign to them all that they are responsible to carry. 28 This is the service of the Gershonite clans at the tent of meeting, and their duties will be under the direction of Ithamar son of Aaron the priest.
Duties of the Merarites
29 “As for the Merarites, you are to register them by their clans(U) and their ancestral houses. 30 Register men from 30 years old to 50 years old, everyone who is qualified to do the work of the tent of meeting. 31 This is what they are responsible to carry as the whole of their service at the tent of meeting: the supports of the tabernacle, with its crossbars, posts, and bases, 32 the posts of the surrounding courtyard with their bases, tent pegs, and ropes, including all their equipment and all the work related to them. You are to assign by name the items that they are responsible to carry. 33 This is the service of the Merarite clans regarding all their work at the tent of meeting, under the direction of Ithamar son of Aaron the priest.”
Census of the Levites
34 So Moses, Aaron, and the leaders of the community registered the Kohathites by their clans and their ancestral houses, 35 men from 30 years old to 50 years old, everyone who was qualified for work at the tent of meeting. 36 The men registered by their clans numbered 2,750. 37 These were the registered men of the Kohathite clans, everyone who could serve at the tent of meeting. Moses and Aaron registered them at the Lord’s command through Moses.
38 The Gershonites were registered by their clans and their ancestral houses, 39 men from 30 years old to 50 years old, everyone who was qualified for work at the tent of meeting. 40 The men registered by their clans and their ancestral houses numbered 2,630. 41 These were the registered men of the Gershonite clans. At the Lord’s command Moses and Aaron registered everyone who could serve at the tent of meeting.
42 The men of the Merarite clans were registered by their clans and their ancestral houses, 43 those from 30 years old to 50 years old, everyone who was qualified for work at the tent of meeting. 44 The men registered by their clans numbered 3,200. 45 These were the registered men of the Merarite clans; Moses and Aaron registered them at the Lord’s command through Moses.
46 Moses, Aaron, and the leaders of Israel registered all the Levites by their clans and their ancestral houses, 47 from 30 years old to 50 years old, everyone who was qualified to do the work of serving at the tent of meeting and transporting it. 48 Their registered men numbered 8,580. 49 At the Lord’s command they were registered under the direction of Moses, each one according to his work and transportation duty, and his assignment was as the Lord commanded Moses.

Служба на левитите при вдигане на стана
4 И Господ каза на Мойсей и Аарон: 2 „Преброй Каатовите потомци сред левитите според родовете им, според бащините им домове, 3 от тридесет години нагоре до петдесет години, всички, които са способни да изпълняват задълженията при служенето в скинията на събранието. 4 Ето службата на Каатовите потомци в скинията на събранието – да носят Светая Светих.
5 Когато станът трябва да се вдигне за път, Аарон и синовете му да влязат, да снемат закриващата завеса и да покрият с нея ковчега на откровението; 6 върху него да сложат покривало от делфинови кожи, а над него да разпрострат син плат и да проврат прътовете му. 7 Върху трапезата за хлябовете на предложението да разпрострат син плат и да наредят отгоре блюдата, паниците, чашите и съдовете за възлияние; постоянните хлябове също да бъдат на нея; 8 и да разпрострат върху тях червен плат, да сложат върху него покривало от делфинови кожи и да проврат прътовете му. 9 После да вземат син плат и да покрият светилника и кадилницата му, щипците му, подставките му и всички съдове за елей, с които си служат при него; 10 да разпрострат върху него и всичките му принадлежности покривало от делфинови кожи и да го поставят на носилка. 11 А върху златния жертвеник да разпрострат син плат, да го покрият с покривало от делфинови кожи и да проврат прътите му. 12 Да вземат всички прибори за служене, с които си служат в светилището, да ги обвият в син плат, да ги покрият с покривало от делфинови кожи и да ги поставят на носилка. 13 Като очистят жертвеника от пепелта, да го покрият с пурпурен плат 14 и да поставят върху него всички прибори, с които извършват служенето при него: въгленици, вилици, лопатки, чаши – всички прибори на жертвеника; върху тях да разпрострат покривало от делфинови кожи и да проврат прътите му. 15 Когато станът трябва да се вдигне за път и Аарон и синовете му покрият цялото светилище и всички свещени прибори, тогава Каатовите потомци да пристъпят, за да ги носят; но те не трябва да се докосват до светилището, за да не умрат. Това са вещите от скинията на събранието, които трябва да носят Каатовите потомци.
16 (A)На Елеазар, сина на Аарон, се поверяват елеят на светилника, благоуханният тамян, постоянният хлебен принос и елеят за помазване; поверява му се надзорът над цялата скиния и на всичко в нея – над светилището и принадлежностите му.“
17 И каза Господ на Мойсей и Аарон: 18 „Не погубвайте измежду левитите племето на Каатовите родове; 19 за да останат живи и да не умрат, когато пристъпват към Светая Светих, ето какво трябва да сторите: ‘Аарон и синовете му да влизат, за да показват на всеки от тях как да служи и какво да носи; 20 но те самите няма да влизат и нито за миг няма да видят светинята, за да не умрат’.“
21 Тогава Господ каза на Мойсей: 22 „Преброй и Гирсоновите синове според бащините им домове и според родовете им, 23 от тридесет години нагоре до петдесет години, способни да служат, за да извършват служенето при скинията на събранието. 24 Ето задълженията на Гирсоновите потомци при служенето и при носенето на товари: 25 да носят платнищата на скинията и скинията на събранието, покрива ѝ, покривалото от делфинови кожи, което е върху него, завесата от входа на скинията на събранието, 26 дворните завеси, завесата от входа на двора, който е около скинията и жертвеника, въжетата им и всичките им принадлежности; всичко, което трябва да се върши за тези неща, е тяхно задължение. 27 Цялото служене на Гирсоновите потомци при носене на товари или при други задължения винаги да се извършва по заповед на Аарон и на синовете му; на тях поверявайте всичко, което те са длъжни да носят. 28 Това са службите на Гирсоновите потомци в скинията на събранието; тяхното служене да бъде под надзора на Итамар, син на свещеника Аарон.
29 Преброй Мерариевите синове според родовете им, според бащините им домове, 30 от тридесет години и нагоре до петдесет години, преброй всички, способни да служат, за да извършват служенето при скинията на събранието. 31 Ето какво са длъжни да носят те, когато служат при скинията на събранието: дъските на скинията, напречните ѝ греди, стълбовете ѝ, подложките ѝ, 32 а също стълбовете около двора, подложките им, колчетата им, въжетата им и всички вещи, необходими за това служене; определете им всяко нещо, което те са длъжни да носят. 33 Това са службите на Мерариевите потомци, всичките им задължения при скинията на събранието, под надзора на Итамар, сина на Аарон.“
34 Тогава Мойсей и Аарон и предводителите на обществото преброиха Каатовите синове според родовете им и според семействата им, 35 от тридесет години и нагоре до петдесет години, всички, способни да служат, за да извършват служенето при скинията на събранието. 36 Преброените от тях според родовете им бяха две хиляди седемстотин и петдесет души. 37 Това са преброените Каатови потомци, всички служещи при скинията на събранието, които Мойсей и Аарон преброиха, както Господ заповяда чрез Мойсей. 38 Преброени бяха и Гирсоновите синове според родовете им и според семействата им, 39 от тридесет години и нагоре до петдесет години, всички, способни да служат, за да извършват служенето при скинията на събранието. 40 Преброените от тях според родовете им, според семействата им бяха две хиляди шестстотин и тридесет души. 41 Това са преброените от родовете на Гирсоновите синове, всички служещи при скинията на събранието, които Мойсей и Аарон преброиха по заповед на Господа.
42 Преброени бяха и родовете на Мерариевите синове според родовете им, според семействата им, 43 от тридесет години и нагоре до петдесет години, всички, способни да служат, за да извършват служенето при скинията на събранието. 44 Преброените от тях според родовете им бяха три хиляди и двеста души. 45 Това са преброените от родовете на Мерариевите синове, които Мойсей и Аарон преброиха, както Господ заповяда чрез Мойсей.
46 Така всички, преброени от левитите, които Мойсей и Аарон и предводителите на Израил преброиха според родовете им и според семействата им, 47 от тридесет години и нагоре до петдесет години, всички, способни да служат и да носят товари в скинията на събранието, 48 бяха общо на брой осем хиляди петстотин и осемдесет. 49 По заповед на Господа чрез Мойсей всеки от тях бе определен за своето служене и товар и бяха преброени, както Господ заповяда на Мойсей.

New International Version
The Kohathites
4 The Lord said to Moses and Aaron: 2 “Take a census(A) of the Kohathite branch of the Levites by their clans and families. 3 Count(B) all the men from thirty to fifty years of age(C) who come to serve in the work at the tent of meeting.
4 “This is the work(D) of the Kohathites(E) at the tent of meeting: the care of the most holy things.(F) 5 When the camp is to move,(G) Aaron and his sons are to go in and take down the shielding curtain(H) and put it over the ark of the covenant law.(I) 6 Then they are to cover the curtain with a durable leather,[a](J) spread a cloth of solid blue over that and put the poles(K) in place.
7 “Over the table of the Presence(L) they are to spread a blue cloth and put on it the plates, dishes and bowls, and the jars for drink offerings;(M) the bread that is continually there(N) is to remain on it. 8 They are to spread a scarlet cloth over them, cover that with the durable leather and put the poles(O) in place.
9 “They are to take a blue cloth and cover the lampstand that is for light, together with its lamps, its wick trimmers and trays,(P) and all its jars for the olive oil used to supply it. 10 Then they are to wrap it and all its accessories in a covering of the durable leather and put it on a carrying frame.(Q)
11 “Over the gold altar(R) they are to spread a blue cloth and cover that with the durable leather and put the poles(S) in place.
12 “They are to take all the articles(T) used for ministering in the sanctuary, wrap them in a blue cloth, cover that with the durable leather and put them on a carrying frame.(U)
13 “They are to remove the ashes(V) from the bronze altar(W) and spread a purple cloth over it. 14 Then they are to place on it all the utensils(X) used for ministering at the altar, including the firepans,(Y) meat forks,(Z) shovels(AA) and sprinkling bowls.(AB) Over it they are to spread a covering of the durable leather and put the poles(AC) in place.
15 “After Aaron and his sons have finished covering the holy furnishings and all the holy articles, and when the camp is ready to move,(AD) only then are the Kohathites(AE) to come and do the carrying.(AF) But they must not touch the holy things(AG) or they will die.(AH) The Kohathites are to carry those things that are in the tent of meeting.
16 “Eleazar(AI) son of Aaron, the priest, is to have charge of the oil for the light,(AJ) the fragrant incense,(AK) the regular grain offering(AL) and the anointing oil. He is to be in charge of the entire tabernacle and everything in it, including its holy furnishings and articles.”
17 The Lord said to Moses and Aaron, 18 “See that the Kohathite tribal clans are not destroyed from among the Levites. 19 So that they may live and not die when they come near the most holy things,(AM) do this for them: Aaron and his sons(AN) are to go into the sanctuary and assign to each man his work and what he is to carry.(AO) 20 But the Kohathites must not go in to look(AP) at the holy things, even for a moment, or they will die.”
The Gershonites
21 The Lord said to Moses, 22 “Take a census also of the Gershonites by their families and clans. 23 Count all the men from thirty to fifty years of age(AQ) who come to serve in the work at the tent of meeting.
24 “This is the service of the Gershonite clans in their carrying and their other work: 25 They are to carry the curtains of the tabernacle,(AR) that is, the tent of meeting,(AS) its covering(AT) and its outer covering of durable leather, the curtains for the entrance to the tent of meeting, 26 the curtains of the courtyard surrounding the tabernacle and altar,(AU) the curtain for the entrance to the courtyard,(AV) the ropes and all the equipment(AW) used in the service of the tent. The Gershonites are to do all that needs to be done with these things. 27 All their service, whether carrying or doing other work, is to be done under the direction of Aaron and his sons.(AX) You shall assign to them as their responsibility(AY) all they are to carry. 28 This is the service of the Gershonite clans(AZ) at the tent of meeting. Their duties are to be under the direction of Ithamar(BA) son of Aaron, the priest.
The Merarites
29 “Count(BB) the Merarites by their clans and families.(BC) 30 Count all the men from thirty to fifty years of age who come to serve in the work at the tent of meeting. 31 As part of all their service at the tent, they are to carry the frames of the tabernacle, its crossbars, posts and bases,(BD) 32 as well as the posts of the surrounding courtyard with their bases, tent pegs, ropes,(BE) all their equipment and everything related to their use. Assign to each man the specific things he is to carry. 33 This is the service of the Merarite clans as they work at the tent of meeting under the direction of Ithamar(BF) son of Aaron, the priest.”
The Numbering of the Levite Clans
34 Moses, Aaron and the leaders of the community counted the Kohathites(BG) by their clans and families. 35 All the men from thirty to fifty years of age(BH) who came to serve in the work at the tent of meeting, 36 counted by clans, were 2,750. 37 This was the total of all those in the Kohathite clans(BI) who served at the tent of meeting. Moses and Aaron counted them according to the Lord’s command through Moses.
38 The Gershonites(BJ) were counted by their clans and families. 39 All the men from thirty to fifty years of age who came to serve in the work at the tent of meeting, 40 counted by their clans and families, were 2,630. 41 This was the total of those in the Gershonite clans who served at the tent of meeting. Moses and Aaron counted them according to the Lord’s command.
42 The Merarites were counted by their clans and families. 43 All the men from thirty to fifty years of age(BK) who came to serve in the work at the tent of meeting, 44 counted by their clans, were 3,200. 45 This was the total of those in the Merarite clans.(BL) Moses and Aaron counted them according to the Lord’s command through Moses.
46 So Moses, Aaron and the leaders of Israel counted(BM) all the Levites by their clans and families. 47 All the men from thirty to fifty years of age(BN) who came to do the work of serving and carrying the tent of meeting 48 numbered 8,580.(BO) 49 At the Lord’s command through Moses, each was assigned his work and told what to carry.
Thus they were counted,(BP) as the Lord commanded Moses.

Numbers 4
King James Version
4 And the Lord spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
2 Take the sum of the sons of Kohath from among the sons of Levi, after their families, by the house of their fathers,
3 From thirty years old and upward even until fifty years old, all that enter into the host, to do the work in the tabernacle of the congregation.
4 This shall be the service of the sons of Kohath in the tabernacle of the congregation, about the most holy things:
5 And when the camp setteth forward, Aaron shall come, and his sons, and they shall take down the covering vail, and cover the ark of testimony with it:
6 And shall put thereon the covering of badgers' skins, and shall spread over it a cloth wholly of blue, and shall put in the staves thereof.
7 And upon the table of shewbread they shall spread a cloth of blue, and put thereon the dishes, and the spoons, and the bowls, and covers to cover withal: and the continual bread shall be thereon:
8 And they shall spread upon them a cloth of scarlet, and cover the same with a covering of badgers' skins, and shall put in the staves thereof.
