1Then the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying: 2“Take a census of the sons of #Num. 3:27–32Kohath from among the children of Levi, by their families, by their fathers’ house, 3#Num. 4:23, 30, 35; 8:24; 1 Chr. 23:3, 24, 27; Ezra 3:8from thirty years old and above, even to fifty years old, all who enter the service to do the work in the tabernacle of meeting.
4#Num. 4:15“This is the service of the sons of Kohath in the tabernacle of meeting, relating to #Num. 4:19the most holy things: 5When the camp prepares to journey, Aaron and his sons shall come, and they shall take down #Ex. 26:31; Heb. 9:3the covering veil and cover the #Ex. 25:10, 16ark of the Testimony with it. 6Then they shall put on it a covering of badger skins, and spread over that a cloth entirely of #Ex. 39:1blue; and they shall insert #Ex. 25:13; 1 Kin. 8:7, 8its poles.
7“On the #Ex. 25:23, 29, 30table of showbread they shall spread a blue cloth, and put on it the dishes, the pans, the bowls, and the pitchers for pouring; and the #Lev. 24:5–9showbread shall be on it. 8They shall spread over them a scarlet cloth, and cover the same with a covering of badger skins; and they shall insert its poles. 9And they shall take a blue cloth and cover the #Ex. 25:31lampstand of the light, #Ex. 25:37, 38with its lamps, its wick-trimmers, its trays, and all its oil vessels, with which they service it. 10Then they shall put it with all its utensils in a covering of badger skins, and put it on a carrying beam.
11“Over #Ex. 30:1–5the golden altar they shall spread a blue cloth, and cover it with a covering of badger skins; and they shall insert its poles. 12Then they shall take all the #Ex. 25:9; 1 Chr. 9:29utensils of service with which they minister in the sanctuary, put them in a blue cloth, cover them with a covering of badger skins, and put them on a carrying beam. 13Also they shall take away the ashes from the altar, and spread a purple cloth over it. 14They shall put on it all its implements with which they minister there—the firepans, the forks, the shovels, the basins, and all the utensils of the altar—and they shall spread on it a covering of badger skins, and insert its poles. 15And when Aaron and his sons have finished covering the sanctuary and all the furnishings of the sanctuary, when the camp is set to go, then #Num. 7:9; 10:21; Deut. 31:9; Josh. 4:10; 2 Sam. 6:13; 1 Chr. 15:2, 15the sons of Kohath shall come to carry them; #2 Sam. 6:6, 7; 1 Chr. 13:9, 10but they shall not touch any holy thing, lest they die.
“#Num. 3:31These are the things in the tabernacle of meeting which the sons of Kohath are to carry.
16“The appointed duty of Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest is #Ex. 25:6; Lev. 24:2the oil for the light, the #Ex. 30:34sweet incense, #Ex. 29:38the daily grain offering, the #Ex. 30:23–25anointing oil, the oversight of all the tabernacle, of all that is in it, with the sanctuary and its furnishings.”
17Then the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying: 18“Do not cut off the tribe of the families of the Kohathites from among the Levites; 19but do this in regard to them, that they may live and not die when they approach #Num. 4:4the most holy things: Aaron and his sons shall go in and appoint each of them to his service and his task. 20#Ex. 19:21; 1 Sam. 6:19But they shall not go in to watch while the holy things are being covered, lest they die.”

21Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: 22“Also take a census of the sons of Gershon, by their fathers’ house, by their families. 23#Num. 4:3; 1 Chr. 23:3, 24, 27From thirty years old and above, even to fifty years old, you shall number them, all who enter to perform the service, to do the work in the tabernacle of meeting. 24This is the #Num. 7:7service of the families of the Gershonites, in serving and carrying: 25#Num. 3:25, 26They shall carry the #Ex. 36:8curtains of the tabernacle and the tabernacle of meeting with its covering, the covering of #Ex. 26:14badger skins that is on it, the screen for the door of the tabernacle of meeting, 26the screen for the door of the gate of the court, the hangings of the court which are around the tabernacle and altar, and their cords, all the furnishings for their service and all that is made for these things: so shall they serve.
27“Aaron and his sons shall assign all the service of the sons of the Gershonites, all their tasks and all their service.
