Kama watagusa vyombo vitakatifu, lazima watakufa. Hii ni kazi ya wana wa uzao wa Kohathi, kubeba mapambo ya hema ya kukutania.

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 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.”
