This is the service of the sons of Kohath in the tent of meeting, the most holy things. When the camp is to set out, Aaron and his sons shall go in and take down the veil of the screen and cover the Ark of the Covenant with it. Then they shall put on it a covering of goat skin. and spread over that a cloth all of blue and shall put in its poles and over the table of the bread of the presence they shall spread a cloth of blue and put upon it the plates the dishes for incense the bowls and the flagons for the drink offerings the continual bread also shall be on it
Then they shall spread over them a cloth of scarlet and cover the same with a covering of goatskin and shall put in its poles. And they shall take a cloth of blue and cover the lampstand for the light with its lamps, its snuffers, its trays, and all the vessels for oil with which it is supplied. And they shall put it with all its utensils in a covering of goatskin and put it upon the carrying frame. and over the golden altar they shall spread a cloth of blue and cover it with a covering of goatskin and shall put in its poles and they shall take all the vessels of the service which are used in the sanctuary and put them in a cloth of blue and cover them with a covering of goatskin and put them on the carrying frame
And they shall take away the ashes from the altar and spread a purple cloth over it. And they shall put on it all the vessels of the altar which are used for the service there, the firepans, the forks, the shovels, and the basins, all the utensils of the altar.
