Lakini wasije wakagusa vitu vitakatifu la sivyo watakufa. Wakohathi ndio watakaobeba vile vitu vilivyomo katika Hema la Kukutania.
And when Aaron and his sonnes haue made an ende of couering the Sanctuarie, and al the instruments of the Sanctuarie, at the remouing of the host, afterward the sonnes of Kohath shall come to beare it, but they shall not touch any holy thing, lest they dye.

Ye shall not cut off the tribe of the families of the Kohathites from among the Leuites:
19 Ili wapate kuishi wala wasife wanapokaribia vitu vitakatifu sana, uwafanyie hivi: Aroni na wanawe watakwenda mahali patakatifu na kumgawia kila mtu kazi yake, na kwamba ni nini atakachochukua.
But thus do vnto them, that they may liue and not die, when they come neere to the most holy things: let Aaron and his sonnes come and appoynt them, euery one to his office, and to his charge.
20 Lakini Wakohathi hawaruhusiwi kuingia ndani ili kuangalia vitu vitakatifu, hata kwa kitambo kidogo, la sivyo watakufa.”
