Instead, assign the Levites to care for the tabernacle of the covenant decrees, and to care for all the furnishings in the tabernacle and for everything in it.

54 Choncho Aisraeli anachita monga Yehova analamulira Mose.
The people of Israel did all these things. They did everything that Yahweh commanded through Moses.
