15 And when Aaron 175 and his sons 1121 have made an end 3615 of covering 3680 the sanctuary 6944, and all the vessels 3627 of the sanctuary 6944, as the camp 4264 is to set forward 5265; after 310 that, the sons 1121 of Kohath 6955 shall come 935 to bear 5375 it: but they shall not touch 5060 any holy thing 6944, lest they die 4191.

18 Cut ye not off 3772 the tribe 7626 of the families 4940 of the Kohathites 6956 from among 8432 the Levites 3881:
19 But thus do 6213 unto them, that they may live 2421, and not die 4191, when they approach 5066 unto the most 6944 holy things 6944: Aaron 175 and his sons 1121 shall go in 935, and appoint 7760 them every 376 one 376 to his service 5656 and to his burden 4853:
20 But they shall not go in 935 to see 7200 when the holy things 6944 are covered 1104, lest they die 4191.
