Numbers 4:10
8 And they shall spread a scarlet cloth over them, cover them with fine leather, and insert the poles.
9 They are to take a blue cloth and cover the lampstand used for light, together with its lamps, wick trimmers, and trays, as well as the jars of oil with which to supply it.
Then they shall wrap it and all its utensils inside a covering of fine leather and put it on the carrying frame.
11 Over the gold altar they are to spread a blue cloth, cover it with fine leather, and insert the poles.
12 They are to take all the utensils for serving in the sanctuary, place them in a blue cloth, cover them with fine leather, and put them on the carrying frame.
This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
