Chapter 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.
9
And
they
shall
take
a
cloth
of
blue,
and
cover
the
candlestick
of
the
light,
and
his
lamps,
and
his
tongs,
and
his
snuffdishes,
and
all
the
oil
vessels
thereof,
wherewith
they
minister
unto
it:
10
And
they
shall
put
it
and
all
the
vessels
thereof
within
a
covering
of
badgers’
skins,
and
shall
put
it
upon
a
bar.
11
And
upon
the
golden
altar
they
shall
spread
a
cloth
of
blue,
and
cover
it
with
a
covering
of
badgers’
skins,
and
shall
put
to
the
staves
thereof:
12
And
they
shall
take
all
the
instruments
of
ministry,
wherewith
they
minister
in
the
sanctuary,
and
put
them
in
a
cloth
of
blue,
and
cover
them
with
a
covering
of
badgers’
skins,
and
shall
put
them
on
a
bar:
13
And
they
shall
take
away
the
ashes
from
the
altar,
and
spread
a
purple
cloth
thereon:
14
And
they
shall
put
upon
it
all
the
vessels
thereof,
wherewith
they
minister
about
it,
even
the
censers,
the
fleshhooks,
and
the
shovels,
and
the
basons,
all
the
vessels
of
the
altar;
and
they
shall
spread
upon
it
a
covering
of
badgers’
skins,
and
put
to
the
staves
of
it.
15
And
when
Aaron
and
his
sons
have
made
an
end
of
covering
the
sanctuary,
and
all
the
vessels
of
the
sanctuary,
as
the
camp
is
to
set
forward;
after
that,
the
sons
of
Kohath
shall
come
to
bear
it:
but
they
shall
not
touch
any
holy
thing,
lest
they
die.
These
things
are
the
burden
of
the
sons
of
Kohath
in
the
tabernacle
of
the
congregation.
16
And
to
the
office
of
Eleazar
the
son
of
Aaron
the
priest
pertaineth
the
oil
for
the
light,
and
the
sweet
incense,
and
the
daily
meat
offering,
and
the
anointing
oil,
and
the
oversight
of
all
the
tabernacle,
and
of
all
that
therein
is,
in
the
sanctuary,
and
in
the
vessels
thereof.
17
And
the
Lord
spake
unto
Moses
and
unto
Aaron,
saying,
18
Cut
ye
not
off
the
tribe
of
the
families
of
the
Kohathites
from
among
the
Levites:
19
But
thus
do
unto
them,
that
they
may
live,
and
not
die,
when
they
approach
unto
the
most
holy
things:
Aaron
and
his
sons
shall
go
in,
and
appoint
them
every
one
to
his
service
and
to
his
burden:
20
But
they
shall
not
go
in
to
see
when
the
holy
things
are
covered,
lest
they
die.
21
And
the
Lord
spake
unto
Moses,
saying,
22
Take
also
the
sum
of
the
sons
of
Gershon,
throughout
the
houses
of
their
fathers,
by
their
families;
23
From
thirty
years
old
and
upward
until
fifty
years
old
shalt
thou
number
them;
all
that
enter
in
to
perform
the
service,
to
do
the
work
in
the
tabernacle
of
the
congregation.
24
This
is
the
service
of
the
families
of
the
Gershonites,
to
serve,
and
for
burdens:
25
And
they
shall
bear
the
curtains
of
the
tabernacle,
and
the
tabernacle
of
the
congregation,
his
covering,
and
the
covering
of
the
badgers’
skins
that
is
above
upon
it,
and
the
hanging
for
the
door
of
the
tabernacle
of
the
congregation,
26
And
the
hangings
of
the
court,
and
the
hanging
for
the
door
of
the
gate
of
the
court,
which
is
by
the
tabernacle
and
by
the
altar
round
about,
and
their
cords,
and
all
the
instruments
of
their
service,
and
all
that
is
made
for
them:
so
shall
they
serve.
27
At
the
appointment
of
Aaron
and
his
sons
shall
be
all
the
service
of
the
sons
of
the
Gershonites,
in
all
their
burdens,
and
in
all
their
service:
and
ye
shall
appoint
unto
them
in
charge
all
their
burdens.
28
This
is
the
service
of
the
families
of
the
sons
of
Gershon
in
the
tabernacle
of
the
congregation:
and
their
charge
shall
be
under
the
hand
of
Ithamar
the
son
of
Aaron
the
priest.
29
As
for
the
sons
of
Merari,
thou
shalt
number
them
after
their
families,
by
the
house
of
their
fathers;
30
From
thirty
years
old
and
upward
even
unto
fifty
years
old
shalt
thou
number
them,
every
one
that
entereth
into
the
service,
to
do
the
work
of
the
tabernacle
of
the
congregation.
31
And
this
is
the
charge
of
their
burden,
according
to
all
their
service
in
the
tabernacle
of
the
congregation;
the
boards
of
the
tabernacle,
and
the
bars
thereof,
and
the
pillars
thereof,
and
sockets
thereof,
32
And
the
pillars
of
the
court
round
about,
and
their
sockets,
and
their
pins,
and
their
cords,
with
all
their
instruments,
and
with
all
their
service:
and
by
name
ye
shall
reckon
the
instruments
of
the
charge
of
their
burden.
33
This
is
the
service
of
the
families
of
the
sons
of
Merari,
according
to
all
their
service,
in
the
tabernacle
of
the
congregation,
under
the
hand
of
Ithamar
the
son
of
Aaron
the
priest.
34
And
Moses
and
Aaron
and
the
chief
of
the
congregation
numbered
the
sons
of
the
Kohathites
after
their
families,
and
after
the

of
their

35
From

old
and
upward
even
unto
fifty
years
old,
every
one
that
entereth
into
the

for
the

in

of
the
congregation:
36
And
those

by
their

seven

37
These

congregation,
which
Moses
and
Aaron
did
number
according
to
the
commandment
of
the
Lord
by
the
hand
of
Moses.
38
And
those
that

of
Gershon,
throughout
their

of
their

39
From

40
Even

41
These

of
the

of
all

of
the

whom
Moses
and
Aaron
did

according
to
the

of
the
Lord.
42
And
those
that

of
the

of
Merari,
throughout
their

From

of
the
congregation,
44
Even
those

after

45
These
be
those

Even
