And they shall take a blue covering, and cover the candlestick that gives light, and its lamps, and its snuffers, and its funnels, and all the vessels of oil with which they minister.

And they shall put it, and all its vessels, into a blue skin cover; and they shall put it on bearers.

And they shall take all the instruments of service, with which they minister in the sanctuary: and shall place them in a cloth of blue, and shall cover them with blue skin covering, and put them upon staves.

And they shall put upon it all the vessels with which they minister upon it, and the fire-pans, and the flesh hooks, and the cups, and the cover, and all the vessels of the altar; and they shall put on it a blue cover of skins, and shall put in its staves; and they shall take a purple cloth, and cover the laver and its foot, and they shall put it into a blue cover of skin, and put it on bars.
15 “Ne Aron kple via ŋutsuwo wu agbadodo kple nu kɔkɔeawo kple wo ŋunuwo katã nu vɔ, eye ameha la le klalo be yeaho adzo la, Kohat ƒe viwo ava akɔ agbawo. Ke womekpɔ mɔ aka asi nu kɔkɔeawo ŋu o, be womagaku o. Kohat ƒe viwo akɔ nu siwo katã le agbadɔ la me.
And Aaron and his sons shall finish covering the holy things, and all the holy vessels, when the camp begins to move; and afterwards the sons of Caath shall go in to take up [the furniture]; but shall not touch the holy things, lest they die: these shall the sons of Caath bear in the tabernacle of witness.
16 “Nunɔla Aron ƒe viŋutsu, Eleazar, ƒe dɔdeasie nye wòakpɔ akaɖimemiwo, dzudzɔdonu ʋeʋĩwo, gbe sia gbe ƒe nuɖuvɔsa kple ami sisi la dzi. Kpuie ko la, eƒe dɔe nye wòakpɔ Agbadɔ blibo la kple nu siwo katã le eme la dzi.”
Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest is overseer—the oil of the light, and the incense of composition, and the daily meat-offering and the anointing oil, are his charge; even the oversight of the whole tabernacle, and all things that are in it in the holy place, in all the works.
17 Yehowa gblɔ na Mose kple Aron be,
And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying,
18 “Kpɔ egbɔ be womeɖe Kohat ƒomea ɖa le Levi ƒe viwo dome o.
You shall not destroy the family of Caath from the tribe out of the midst of the Levites.
19 Be woanɔ agbe, eye womaku o, ne wote ɖe nu kɔkɔewo ŋu la, miwɔ nu siawo na wo: Aron kple via ŋutsuwo ayi ɖe kɔkɔeƒe la, eye wòade dɔ si ame sia ame awɔ kple nu sia nu si wòakɔ la asi nɛ.
This do you to them, and they shall live and not die, when they approach the holy of holies: Let Aaron and his sons advance, and they shall place them each in his post for bearing.
20 Ne womekplɔ Kohat ƒe viŋutsuwo yi o la, mele be woage ɖe agbadɔ la me o; ne menye nenema o la, woakpɔ nu kɔkɔeawo le afi ma, eye woaku.”
And [so] they shall by no means go in to look suddenly upon the holy things, and die.
21 Eye Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be,
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
22 “Xlẽ Gerson ƒe viŋutsuwo ɖe Levi ƒe viwo dome,

And they shall bear the skins of the tabernacle, and the tabernacle of witness, and its veil, and the blue cover that was on it above, and the cover of the door of the tabernacle of witness.

And all the curtains of the court which were upon the tabernacle of witness, and the appendages, and all the vessels of service that they minister with they shall attend to.
