10 H5414 And they shall put H3605 it and all H3627 the vessels H413 thereof within H4372 a covering H8476 of badgers’ H5785 skins, H5414 and shall put H4132 it on a bar.

18 H3772 Cut H7626 you not off the tribe H4940 of the families H6956 of the Kohathites H8432 from among H3881 the Levites:

19 H6213 But thus do H2421 to them, that they may live, H4191 and not die, H5066 when they approach H6944 to the most H6944 holy H175 things: Aaron H1121 and his sons H935 shall go H7760 in, and appoint H376 them every H376 one H5656 to his service H4853 and to his burden:

20 H935 But they shall not go H7200 in to see H6944 when the holy H1104 things are covered, H4191 lest they die.
