Contextual Overview
1 Then spake Yahweh unto Moses and unto Aaron saying: 2 Reckon up the sum of the sons of Kohath, out of the midst of the sons of Levi, - by their families by their ancestral house: 3 from thirty years old, and upwards, even unto fifty years, - every one that can enter into the host, to do service in the tent of meeting. 4 This, shall be the labour of the sons of Kohath, in the tent of meeting, - the most holy things, 5 So then Aaron and his sons shall enter when the camp is to set forward, and take down the screening veil, - and enwrap therein the ark of the testimony; 6 and put thereon a covering of badgers skin, and spread a complete wrapper of blue over above, - and put in the staves thereof. 7 And over the Presence-table, shall they spread a wrapper of blue and put thereon the dishes and the pans and the bowls and the libation cups, the perpetual bread also, thereupon, shall remain; 8 and they shall spread over them a wrapper of crimson, and cover the same with a covering of badgers skin, - and shall put in the staves thereof. 9 Then shall they take a wrapper of blue, and cover the light-giving lampstand, and the lamps thereof, and the snuffers thereof and the snuff-trays thereof, - and all the oil-vessels, thereof, wherewith they minister thereunto; 10 and shall put the same and all the vessels thereof, within a covering of, badger's skin, - and shall put it upon a frame.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Cut ye not off the tribe of the families of the Kohathites from among the Levites. Or give no occasion, as the Targum of Jonathan; or be not the cause of their cutting off, as Jarchi, through negligence or inadvertency of theirs, in packing up the above things, and delivering them to them.
