The wrapping signifies the care and reverence required for holy items, emphasizing the sanctity of worship. The utensils, likely including items like tongs and firepans, were essential for the service of the Tabernacle, highlighting the detailed instructions God provided for worship. This meticulous care can be seen as a precursor to the reverence shown in the New Testament for the body of Christ, the ultimate sacred vessel.<p><b>inside a covering of fine leather</b><br>The use of fine leather, possibly from sea cows or another durable source, indicates the importance of protecting sacred objects from the elements and from being seen by unauthorized individuals. This covering symbolizes the holiness and separation of God's presence, akin to the veil in the Temple that separated the Holy of Holies. The concept of covering also points to the protective nature of God's covenant with His people, as seen in the protective covering of Christ's righteousness over believers.<p><b>and put it on the carrying frame.</b><br>The carrying frame, or poles, allowed the Kohathites to transport the sacred items without directly touching them, adhering to the command that only the priests could handle the holy objects directly. This method of transport underscores the mobility of God's presence with the Israelites during their wilderness journey, foreshadowing the indwelling of the Holy Spirit in believers, making them temples of God. The carrying frame also reflects the burden and privilege of carrying God's presence, a theme echoed in the New Testament with the call to bear one's cross and follow Christ.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_kohathites.htm">The Kohathites</a></b><br>A Levitical family responsible for the care and transport of the most sacred objects of the tabernacle, including the Ark of the Covenant.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_tabernacle.htm">The Tabernacle</a></b><br>The portable dwelling place for the divine presence among the Israelites, containing sacred objects used in worship.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/m/moses_and_aaron.htm">Moses and Aaron</a></b><br>Leaders of the Israelites who were responsible for overseeing the duties of the Levites, including the Kohathites.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_covering_of_fine_leather.htm">The Covering of Fine Leather</a></b><br>A protective covering used to wrap sacred objects, signifying the importance and holiness of these items.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_carrying_frame.htm">The Carrying Frame</a></b><br>A structure used to transport the sacred objects, ensuring they were moved with reverence and care.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/r/reverence_for_the_holy.htm">Reverence for the Holy</a></b><br>The meticulous care in handling sacred objects reflects the reverence due to God and His commands.
