The Book of Numbers 4

4 And Yahweh spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying, 2 “Lift up the head of the sons of Kohath from the midst of the sons of Levi, according to their clans, according to the house of their fathers, 3 from a son of 30 years and upward and up to a son of 50 years, everyone who comes to the army to do work in the tent of meeting. 4 This is the service of the sons of Kohath in the tent of meeting, the holy of the holies. 5 And Aaron shall come and his sons when the camp sets out, and they shall take down the veil of the curtain, and with it they shall cover the Box of the Testimony. 6 And they shall put on it a covering of skin of a porpoise, and they shall spread a cloth of completely blue from above, and they shall set its poles. 7 And over the table of the faces they shall spread a cloth of blue, and they shall put on it the dishes and the palm-sized bowls and the bowls and the pitchers of the drink offering, and the bread of continuity shall be on it. 8 And they shall spread over them a cloth of worm of scarlet, and they shall cover it with a covering of skin of a porpoise, and they shall set its poles. 9 And they shall take a cloth of blue, and they shall cover the lampstand of the light and its lamps and its tongs and its trays and all the vessels of its oil with which they minister to it. 10 And they shall put it and all its vessels into a covering of skin of a porpoise, and they shall put them on the carrying pole. 11 And over the altar of gold they shall spread a cloth of blue, and they shall cover it with a covering of skin of a porpoise, and they shall set its poles. 12 And they shall take all the vessels of the ministry with which they minister in the holy place, and they shall put them into a cloth of blue. And they shall cover them with a covering of skin of a porpoise. And they shall put them on the carrying pole. 13 And they shall remove the ashes from the altar, and they shall spread over it a cloth of purple. 14 And they shall put on it all its vessels with which they minister on it: the trays, the meat forks and the shovels and the basins—all the vessels of the altar. And they shall spread over it a covering of skin of a porpoise, and they shall set its poles. 15 And Aaron and his sons shall finish to cover the holy place and all the vessels of the holy place when the camp sets out. And after that the sons of Kohath shall come to carry, and they shall not touch the holy place and die. These are the burden of the sons of Kohath in the tent of meeting. 16 And the oversight of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, is the oil of the light and the incense of the spices and the grain offering of continuity and the oil of the anointing, the oversight of all the Dwelling and all that is in it, in the holy place, and in its vessels.” 17 And Yahweh spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying, 18 “Do not cut off the tribe of the clans of the Kohathite from the midst of the Levites. 19 But this do for them, and they will live and not die when they come near the holy of the holies: Aaron and his sons shall go and set them man by man in accordance with his service and to his burden. 20 But they shall not go to see, when swallowing, the holy place and die.” 21 And Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 22 “Lift up the head of the sons of Gershon, also them, according to the house of their fathers, according to their clans. 23 From a son of 30 years and upward up to a son of 50 years you shall count them, everyone who comes to fight in the army, to serve service in the tent of meeting. 24 This is the service of the clans of the Gershonite, to serve and according to a burden. 25 And they shall carry the curtains of the Dwelling and the tent of meeting, its covering and the covering of porpoise which is on it from above and the curtain of the opening of the tent of meeting 26 and the hangings of the courtyard and the curtain of the opening of the gate of the courtyard that is on the Dwelling and on the altar all around, and their ropes and all the vessels of their service and all that is done for them; and they shall serve. 27 Upon the mouth of Aaron and his sons will be all the service of the sons of the Gershonite, according to all their burden and according to all their service. And you shall count upon them all their burden in keeping. 28 This is the service of the clans of the sons of the Gershonite in the tent of meeting, and their keeping is in the hand of Ithamar, the son of Aaron the priest. 29 The sons of Merari, according to their clans, according to the house of their fathers, you shall count them. 30 From a son of 30 years and upward and up to a son of 50 years you shall count them, everyone who comes to the army to serve the service of the tent of meeting. 31 And this is the keeping of their burden, according to all their service in the tent of meeting: the frames of the Dwelling and its crossbars and its pillars and its bases 32 and the pillars of the courtyard all around and their bases and their pegs and their ropes, for all their vessels and for all their service; and by names you shall count the vessels of the keeping of their burden. 33 This is the service of the clans of the sons of Merari for all their service in the tent of meeting in the hand of Ithamar, the son of Aaron the priest.” 34 And Moses and Aaron and the leaders of the congregation counted the sons of the Kohathite according to their clans and according to the house of their fathers, 35 from a son of 30 years and upward and up to a son of 50 years, every one who comes to the army for service in the tent of meeting, 36 and their counted ones according to their clans were 2,750. 37 These were the counted ones of the clans of the Kohathite, everyone who serves in the tent of meeting, whom Moses and Aaron counted upon the mouth of Yahweh in the hand of Moses. 38 And the counted ones of the sons of Gershon, according to their clans and according to the house of their fathers, 39 from a son of 30 years and upward and up to a son of 50 years, every one who comes to the army for service in the tent of meeting, 40 and their counted ones according to their clans, according to the house of their fathers, were 2,630. 41 These were the counted ones of the clans of the sons of Gershon, everyone who serves in the tent of meeting, whom Moses and Aaron counted upon the mouth of Yahweh. 42 And the counted ones of the clans of the sons of Merari, according to their clans, according to the house of their fathers, 43 from a son of 30 years and upward and up to a son of 50 years, every one who comes to the army for service in the tent of meeting, 44 and their counted ones according to their clans were 3,200. 45 These were the counted ones of the clans of the sons of Merari, whom Moses and Aaron counted upon the mouth of Yahweh in the hand of Moses. 46 All the counted ones whom Moses and Aaron and the leaders of Israel counted, the Levites according to their clans and according to the house of their fathers, 47 from a son of 30 years and upward and up to a son of 50 years, every one who comes to serve the service of service and the service of burden in the tent of meeting, 48 and their counted ones were 8,580. 49 Upon the mouth of Yahweh he counted them in the hand of Moses, man by man in accordance with his service and in accordance with his burden. So these were his counted ones that Yahweh commanded Moses.
