Uzao wa Kohathi watalinda vile vitu vitakatifu zaidi vilivyohifadhiwa kwa ajili yangu katika hema ya kukutania.
5 When the camp prepares to move forward, Aaron and his sons must go into the tent, take down the curtain that separates the most holy place from the holy place and cover the ark of the testimony with it.
Wakati kambi inapojiandaa kusonga mbele, Haruni na wanawe lazima waende hemani, kulishusha pazia linalotenganisha mahali patakatifu na kulifunika sanduku la ushuhuda kwa pazia hilo. Watalifunika hilo sanduku kwa ngozi za pomboo.

15 When Aaron and his sons have completely covered the holy place and all its equipment, and when the camp moves forward, then the descendants of Kohath must come to carry the holy place. If they touch the holy instruments, they must die. This is the work of the descendants of Kohath, to carry the furnishings in the tent of meeting.
Wakati Haruni na wanawe walipokuwa wamekamilisha kupafunika mahali patakatifu na vyombo vyote, na kambi itakapoanza kuendelea mbele, ndipo wana wa Kohathi watakapokuja kubeba vitu vya mahali patakatifu. Kama watagusa vyombo vitakatifu, lazima watakufa. Hii ni kazi ya wana wa uzao wa Kohathi, kubeba mapambo ya hema ya kukutania.

BWANA akanena na Musa na Haruni. Akasema,
18 “Do not allow the Kohathite tribal clans to be removed from among the Levites.

19 Protect them, that they may live and not die, by doing this. When they approach the most holy things
Walinde waishi ili wasije wakafa, kwa kufanya hivi. Wanapokuwa wanasogelea
20 they must not go in to see the holy place even for a moment, or they must die. Aaron and his sons must go in, and then Aaron and his sons must assign each of the Kohathites to his work, to his special tasks.”
wasije wakaingia ndani ili kuona eneo takatifu hata kwa kitambo, vinginevyo watakufa. Bali Haruni na wanawe wanaweza kuingia, ndipo Haruni na Wanawe watakapowapangia Wakohathi kazi maalumu ya kufanya, kwa kila mmoj.”
