THE MESSAGE
God spoke to Moses and Aaron, "Don't let the tribal families of the Kohathites be destroyed from among the Levites. Protect them so they will live and not die when they come near the most holy things. To protect them, Aaron and his sons are to precede them into the Sanctuary and assign each man his task and what he is to carry. But the Kohathites themselves must not go in to look at the holy things, not even a glance at them, or they will die."

Contextual Overview
1 The Lord said to Moses and Aaron, 2 "Number the sons of Kohath from among the sons of Levi. Number them by their families, by the fathers' houses, 3 from thirty years old and older, even to fifty years old. Number all who are able to do the work in the meeting tent. 4 This is the work of the sons of Kohath in the meeting tent to do with the most holy things. 5 When the people leave to move on, Aaron and his sons will go in and take down the curtain in front of the special box with the Law inside. And they will cover the special box with it. 6 Then they will lay a covering of badgers' skins on it, and spread a pure blue cloth over that. And they will put in the long pieces of wood to carry it. 7 They will spread a blue cloth over the table of the bread before the Lord. They will put on it the plates, the dishes for special perfume, the pots, and the jars for the drink gift. And the bread will be on it always. 8 They will spread a red cloth over them, and cover that with badgers' skins. And they will put in its long pieces of wood to carry it. 9 They will take a blue cloth and cover the lamp-stand for the light, with its lamps, its objects to put out the light, its dishes and all its pots of oil used for the light. 10 They will put the lamp-stand and all its objects in a covering of badgers' skins. Then they will put it on the long pieces of wood used to carry it.
