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.
