Aaron’s uncle Uzziel had two sons. They were Mishael and Elzaphan. Moses said to those sons, “Go to the front part of the Holy Place. Take your cousins’ bodies and carry them outside the camp.”
Their job was to take care of the Holy Box, [38] the table, the lampstand, the altars, and the dishes of the Holy Place. [39] They also cared for the curtain and all the things that were used with the curtain.
“Aaron and his sons must finish covering all the holy things in the Holy Place. [62] Then the men from the Kohath family can go in and begin carrying those things. In this way, they will not touch the Holy Place and die.
