And the LORD spoke unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying:
2 Tolle summam filiorum Caath de medio Levitarum per domos et familias suas,
'Take the sum of the sons of Kohath from among the sons of Levi, by their families, by their fathers' houses,
3 a trigesimo anno et supra, usque ad quinquagesimum annum, omnium qui ingrediuntur ut stent et ministrent in tabernaculo foederis.
from thirty years old and upward even until fifty years old, all that enter upon the service, to do work in the tent of meeting.
4 Hic est cultus filiorum Caath: Tabernaculum foederis, et Sanctum sanctorum
This is the service of the sons of Kohath in the tent of meeting, about the most holy things:
5 ingredientur Aaron et filii eius, quando movenda sunt castra, et deponent velum quod pendet ante fores, involventque eo arcam testimonii,
when the camp setteth forward, Aaron shall go in, and his sons, and they shall take down the veil of the screen, and cover the ark of the testimony with it;
6 et operient rursum velamen ianthinarum pellium, extendentque desuper pallium totum hyacinthinum, et inducent vectes.
and shall put thereon a covering of sealskin, and shall spread over it a cloth all of blue, and shall set the staves thereof.
7 Mensam quoque propositionis involvent hyacinthino pallio, et ponent cum ea thuribula et mortariola, cyathos et crateras ad liba fundenda: panes semper in ea erunt:
And upon the table of showbread they shall spread a cloth of blue, and put thereon the dishes, and the pans, and the bowls, and the jars wherewith to pour out; and the continual bread shall remain thereon.
8 extendentque desuper pallium coccineum, quod rursum operient velamento ianthinarum pellium, et inducent vectes.
And they shall spread upon them a cloth of scarlet, and cover the same with a covering of sealskin, and shall set the staves thereof.
9 Sument et pallium hyacinthinum quo operient candelabrum cum lucernis et forcipibus suis et emunctoriis et cunctis vasis olei, quae ad concinnandas lucernas necessaria sunt:
And they shall take a cloth of blue, and cover the candlestick of the light, and its lamps, and its tongs, and its snuffdishes, and all the oil vessels thereof, wherewith they minister unto it.
10 et super omnia ponent operimentum ianthinarum pellium, et inducent vectes.
And they shall put it and all the vessels thereof within a covering of sealskin, and shall put it upon a bar.
11 Nec non et altare aureum involvent hyacinthino vestimento, et extendent desuper operimentum ianthinarum pellium, inducentque vectes.
And upon the golden altar they shall spread a cloth of blue, and cover it with a covering of sealskin, and shall set the staves thereof.

And they shall take all the vessels of ministry, wherewith they minister in the sanctuary, and put them in a cloth of blue, and cover them with a covering of sealskin, and shall put them on a bar.
13 Sed et altare mundabunt cinere, et involvent illud purpureo vestimento,
And they shall take away the ashes from the altar, and spread a purple cloth thereon.
14 ponentque cum eo omnia vasa, quibus in ministerio eius utuntur, id est, ignium receptacula, fuscinulas ac tridentes, uncinos et batilla. Cuncta vasa altaris operient simul velamine ianthinarum pellium, et inducent vectes.
And they shall put upon it all the vessels thereof, wherewith they minister about it, the fire-pans, the flesh-hooks, and the shovels, and the basins, all the vessels of the altar; and they shall spread upon it a covering of sealskin, and set the staves thereof.
15 Cumque involverint Aaron et filii eius Sanctuarium et omnia vasa eius in commotione castrorum, tunc intrabunt filii Caath ut portent involuta: et non tangent vasa Sanctuarii, ne moriantur. Ista sunt onera filiorum Caath in tabernaculo foederis:
And when Aaron and his sons have made an end of covering the holy furniture, and all the holy vessels, as the camp is to set forward — after that, the sons of Kohath shall come to bear them; but they shall not touch the holy things, lest they die. These things are the burden of the sons of Kohath in the tent of meeting.
16 super quos erit Eleazar filius Aaron sacerdotis, ad cuius curam pertinet oleum ad concinnandas lucernas, et compositionis incensum, et sacrificium, quod semper offertur, et oleum unctionis, et quidquid ad cultum tabernaculi pertinet, omniumque vasorum, quae in Sanctuario sunt.
And the charge of Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest shall be the oil for the light, and the sweet incense, and the continual meal-offering, and the anointing oil: he shall have the charge of all the tabernacle, and of all that therein is, whether it be the sanctuary, or the furniture thereof.'
17 Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen, et Aaron, dicens:
And the LORD spoke unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying:
18 Nolite perdere populum Caath de medio Levitarum:
'Cut ye not off the tribe of the families of the Kohathites from among the Levites;
19 sed hoc facite eis, ut vivant, et non moriantur, si tetigerint Sancta sanctorum. Aaron et filii eius intrabunt, ipsique disponent opera singulorum, et divident quid portare quis debeat.
but thus do unto them, that they may live, and not die, when they approach unto the most holy things: Aaron and his sons shall go in, and appoint them every one to his service and to his burden;
20 Alii nulla curiositate videant quae sunt in Sanctuario priusquam involvantur, alioquin morientur.
but they shall not go in to see the holy things as they are being covered, lest they die.'
21 Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen, dicens:

22 Tolle summam etiam filiorum Gerson per domos ac familias et cognationes suas,
'Take the sum of the sons of Gershon also, by their fathers' houses, by their families;
23 a triginta annis et supra, usque ad annos quinquaginta. Numera omnes qui ingrediuntur et ministrant in tabernaculo foederis.

they shall bear the curtains of the tabernacle, and the tent of meeting, its covering, and the covering of sealskin that is above upon it, and the screen for the door of the tent of meeting;

At the commandment of Aaron and his sons shall be all the service of the sons of the Gershonites, in all their burden, and in all their service; and ye shall appoint unto them in charge all their burden.

And this is the charge of their burden, according to all their service in the tent of meeting: the boards of the tabernacle, and the bars thereof, and the pillars thereof, and the sockets thereof;
