1. And Jehovah spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
2. Take the sum of the sons of Kohath from among the sons of Levi, after their families, according to their fathers' houses,
3. from thirty years old and upward even unto fifty years old, all that enter into the service, to do the work in the tent of meeting.
4. This shall be the service of the sons of Kohath in the tent of meeting: it is most holy.
5. And when the camp setteth forward, Aaron and his sons shall go in, and they shall take down the veil of separation and cover the ark of testimony with it;
6. and shall put thereon a covering of badgers' skin, and shall spread over it a cloth wholly of blue, and shall put its staves to it.
