They shall spread over it a covering of fine leather and insert its poles. 15 When Aaron and his sons have finished covering the sanctuary and all its furnishings as the camp sets out, the sons of Kohath shall come to carry them, but they must not touch the holy things, lest they die. These are the tasks of the sons of Kohath regarding the tent of meeting. 16 The oversight of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, includes the oil for the light, the fragrant incense, the regular grain offering, the anointing oil, the oversight of the entire tabernacle and everything in it, including its holy furnishings and utensils. 17 The LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying, 18 Do not let the tribe of the Kohathite clans be cut off from the Levites. 19 Do this for them so that they may live and not die when they approach the most holy things. Aaron and his sons shall go in and assign each man his task and what he is to carry. 20 But the Kohathites must not go in to look at the holy things, even for a moment, or they will die.
