And when: Numbers 2:16-17, Numbers 10:14

Aaron shall come: The law prohibiting any person, except the high priest on one day in the year, to enter into the most holy place, must have admitted an exception while the Israelites were in the wilderness. That exception, therefore, is here expressly made; and the directions given respecting it must be religiously observed, or the service could not be safely performed. While the cloud rested on the tabernacle, the general rule was in force; but when it was removed, then the priests might enter to prepare the sacred vessels for removal. Numbers 4:15, Numbers 3:27-32

they shall: Exodus 26:31-33, Exodus 36:35, Exodus 40:3; Isaiah 25:7; Matthew 27:51; Hebrews 9:3, Hebrews 10:20

and cover: Exodus 25:10-22, Exodus 37:1-9; 2 Samuel 6:2-9
