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.(A) They are to spread a covering made of manatee skin[a] over it and insert its poles.[b](B)
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.(C) These are the transportation duties of the Kohathites regarding the tent of meeting.
