And when the camp setteth forward, Aaron shall come, and his sons, and they shall take down the (b) covering vail, and cover the ark of testimony with it:
(b) Which divided the sanctuary from the holiest of holies.

And when the camp setteth forward,.... Upon the cloud's removing and the trumpets blowing:
Aaron shall come, and his sons; into the holy place:
and they shall take down the covering vail: the vail that divided between the holy and the most holy place, which covered all in the holy of holies out of sight:
and cover the ark of testimony with it; together with the mercy seat and cherubim on it, that they might not be seen nor touched by the Levites when they carried them. Now though the high priest himself might not go into the most holy place but once a year, on the day of atonement, yet on this occasion, when the tabernacle was to be taken down, and the things in it to be removed, both he and his sons might enter without danger; since, as Bishop Patrick observes, the divine Majesty was gone from thence in the cloud which gave the signal for the motion of the camp, and the taking down of the tabernacle.

covering veil--the inner veil, which separated the holy from the most holy place. (See on Exodus 36:35).

They shall take down - For upon this necessary occasion the inferior priests are allowed to come into the holy of holies, which otherwise was peculiar to the high - priest. The covering veil - The second veil, wherewith the ark was covered while the tabernacle stood, Exodus 40:3. Cover the ark - Because the Levites, who were to carry the ark, might neither see, nor immediately touch it.
