Numbers 4 · Grade 2

Wrapped and Carried

Name Date

Read the Story

When it was time to move, God's tent had to come down. First the priests covered the holy things. They used blue, red, and purple cloths.

Then the Kohath family carried the holy things on poles. They did not touch them. The Gershon family carried the curtains. The Merari family carried the boards and posts.

Each man had a job to do. They worked from age thirty to fifty. God wanted His holy things carried with great care.

Memory Verse
