Contextual Overview

¹And YHWH speaks to Moses and to Aaron, saying,²"Take a census of the sons of Kohath from the midst of the sons of Levi, by their families, by the house of their fathers; ³from a son of thirty years and upward, even until a son of fifty years, everyone going in to the host, to do work in the Tent of Meeting. ⁴This [is] the service of the sons of Kohath in the Tent of Meeting [for] the most holy things: ⁵when Aaron and his sons have come in, in the journeying of the camp, and have taken down the veil of the hanging, and have covered the Ark of the Testimony with it, ⁶then they have put a covering of tachash skin on it, and have spread a garment completely of blue above, and have placed its poles. ⁷And they spread a garment of blue over the table of the presence, and have put the dishes, and the spoons, and the bowls, and the cups of the drink-offering on it, and the bread of continuity is on it, ⁸and they have spread a garment of scarlet over them, and have covered it with a covering of tachash skin, and have placed its poles, ⁹and have taken a garment of blue, and have covered the lampstand of the lamp, and its lights, and its snuffers, and its snuff-dishes, and all its oil vessels with which they minister to it; ¹⁰and they have put it and all its vessels into a covering of tachash skin, and have put [it] on the bar.
