And they shall put upon it all its vessels, wherewith they minister upon it, the fire-pans, the forks, and the shovels, and the basins, all the vessels of the altar; and they shall spread over it a covering of badgers' skins, and put in its staves.

And when Aaron and his sons have thus made an end of covering the sanctuary, and all the vessels of the sanctuary, when the camp is to set forward: then shall, after that, the sons of Kehath come to carry it; but they shall not touch any holy thing, lest they die; these are the things which the sons of Kehath are to carry at the tabernacle of the congregation.
16 “Aaron babarima Eleasar a ɔyɛ ɔsɔfo no na ɔbɛhwɛ ngo a wɔde bɛsɔ kanea, nnuhuam, daa aduan a wɔde bɔ afɔre, ɔsra ngo ne Ahyiae Ntamadan no nyinaa so. Biribiara a ɛwɔ Ahyiae Ntamadan no mu no nso, ɔbɛhwɛ so.”
And under the supervision of Elazar the son of Aaron the priest shall be the oil for the lighting, and the incense of spices, and the daily meat-offering, and the anointing-oil; the supervision of all the tabernacle, and of all that is therein, over the sanctuary, and over its vessels.
17 Afei, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose ne Aaron se,
And the Lord spoke unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
18 “Monhwɛ sɛ wɔrentwa Kohatfo abusuakuw no mfi Lewifo mu.
Do ye not cause the tribe of the families of the Kehathites to be cut off from among the Levites;
19 Sɛ wɔresoa nneɛma a ɛho tew no a, nea ɛsɛ sɛ wɔyɛ a wɔrenwuwu ni: Ɛsɛ sɛ Aaron ne ne mma mmarima no ne wɔn kɔ hɔ kɔkyerɛ wɔn ade a ɛsɛ sɛ wɔn mu biara soa.
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 Ɛnsɛ sɛ Kohatfo no kɔ hɔ kɔhwɛ akronkronne no koraa, na wɔanwuwu.”
That they may not go in to see when the holy things are covered, and die.

And the hangings of the court, and the hanging for the door of the gate of the court, which is by the tabernacle and by the altar round about, and their cords, and all the vessels of their service; and all that is delivered to them shall they perform.

And this is what is confided to them to carry, regarding all their service at the tabernacle of the congregation: The boards of the tabernacle, and its bars, and its pillars, and its sockets,
