11 “Over athe golden altar they shall spread a blue cloth, and cover it with a covering of badger skins; and they shall insert its poles.  
12 Then they shall take all the autensils of service with which they minister in the sanctuary, put them in a blue cloth, cover them with a covering of badger skins, and put them on a carrying beam.  
13 Also they shall take away the ashes from the altar, and spread a purple cloth over it.
14 They shall put on it all its implements with which they minister there—the firepans, the forks, the shovels, the1 basins, and all the utensils of the altar—and they shall spread on it a covering of badger skins, and insert its poles.  
15 And when Aaron and his sons have finished covering the sanctuary and all the furnishings of the sanctuary, when the camp is set to go, then athe sons of Kohath shall come to carry them; bbut they shall not touch any holy thing, lest they die. “cThese are the things in the tabernacle of meeting which the sons of Kohath are to carry.

Numbers 4:13

The altar - Hence we may conclude, that they did offer sacrifices at other times, though not so constantly and diligently, as they did in Canaan. Moreover the taking away of the ashes only doth sufficiently imply that the fire was preserved, which as it came down from heaven, Leviticus 9:24. So it was by God's command to be continually fed, and kept burning, and therefore doubtless was put into some vessel, which might be either fastened to the altar and put within this covering, or carried by some person appointed thereunto.
