And upon the presence table they shall spread a cloth of blue, and put thereon the dishes, and the ladles, and the offering bowls, and the flagons for libation; and the continual bread shall be thereon. And they shall spread upon them a cloth of scarlet, and cover the same with a covering of violet skin, and shall put in the staves thereof. And they shall take a cloth of blue, and cover the lampstand of the light, and its lamps, and its snuffers, and its snuffdishes, and all the oil vessels thereof, which they tend it with. And they shall put it and all the vessels thereof within a covering of violet skin, and shall put it on the carrying frame.

And upon the golden altar they shall spread a cloth of blue, and cover it with a covering of violet skin, and shall put in the staves thereof. And they shall take all the implements of ministry, wherewith they minister in the sanctuary, and put them in a cloth of blue, and cover them with a covering of violet skin, and shall put them on the carrying frame. And they shall take away the ashes from the altar, and spread a purple cloth thereon. And they shall put upon it all the implements thereof, with which they tend it, the firepans, the fleshhooks, and the shovels, and the bowls, all the utensils of the altar; and they shall spread upon it a covering of violet skin, and put in the staves thereof.

And when Aharon and his sons have made an end of covering the sanctuary and all the furnishings of the sanctuary, as the camp is to set forward, thenceafter the sons of Qahath shall come in to bear them; but they shall not touch any holy thing, lest they die. Those are the things which shall be the burden of the sons of Qahath in the tent of meeting. And the office of Elazar the son of Aharon the priest shall be the oil for the light, and the sweet incense, and the continual meal offering, and the anointing oil; the oversight of all the tabernacle and of all that therein is, with the sanctuary and with the furnishings thereof.

And Yhwh (Lord) spake to Mosheh and to Aharon, saying, Cut ye not off the tribe of the Qahathi families from among the Lewiyis; but thus do unto them, that they may live and not die when they approach the holy of holy things: Aharon and his sons shall come and appoint them, each man to his service and to his burden; but these shall not go in to see the holy things as they are being enwrapped, lest they die.
