Contextual Overview
1 And Jehovah spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying, 2 Lift the heads of the sons of Kohath from among the sons of Levi, by their families, by their fathers' houses, 3 from a son of thirty years and upward, even until fifty years old, all that enter upon the service, to do work in the tabernacle of the congregation. 4 This shall be the service of the sons of Kohath in the tabernacle of the congregation, the Holy of Holies. 5 Aaron and his sons shall come in, when the camp pulls out, and shall take down the veil of the hanging, and shall cover the ark of the testimony with it. 6 And he shall put a covering of dugong skins on it, and shall spread a garment entirely of blue on top, and shall put in its staves. 7 And they shall spread a blue cloth on the table of the showbread, and shall put its dishes, and the spoons, and the bowls, and the cups of the drink offering, and the continual bread on it. 8 And they shall spread a cloth of scarlet over them, and shall cover it with a covering of dugong skin, and shall put in its staves. 9 And he shall take a blue cloth and shall cover the lampstand of the lamp, and its lights, and its tongs, and its firepans, and all its oil vessels with which they minister to it. 10 And they shall put it and all its vessels into a covering of dugong skin, and shall put it on the bar.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Cut ye not off the tribe of the families of the Kohathites from among the Levites. Or give no occasion, as the Targum of Jonathan; or be not the cause of their cutting off, as Jarchi, through negligence or inadvertency of theirs, in packing up the above things, and delivering them to them.
