For the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

49 Kun Levis Stamme maa du ikke mønstre, og dens samlede Tal maa du ikke optage sammen med de andre Israeliters.

“Only the tribe of Levi you shall not count, neither shall you take a census of them among the children of Israel;

50 Du skal overdrage Leviterne Tilsynet med Vidnesbyrdets Bolig, alle dens Redskaber og alt dens Tilbehør; de skal bære Boligen og alle dens Redskaber, de skal betjene den, og rundt om Boligen skal de have deres Lejr.

but appoint the Levites over the Tabernacle of the Testimony, and over all its furnishings, and over all that belongs to it. They shall carry the tabernacle and all its furnishings; and they shall take care of it, and shall encamp around it.

51 Naar Boligen skal bryde op, skal Leviterne tage den ned, og naar Boligen skal gaa i Lejr, skal Leviterne rejse den. Enhver Lægmand, der kommer den nær, skal lide Døden.

When the tabernacle is to move, the Levites shall take it down; and when the tabernacle is to be set up, the Levites shall set it up. The stranger who comes near shall be put to death.

52 Israeliterne skal lejre sig hver i sin Lejrafdeling og under sit Felttegn, Hærafdeling for Hærafdeling,

The children of Israel shall pitch their tents, every man by his own camp, and every man by his own standard, according to their divisions.

53 men Leviterne skal lejre sig rundt om Vidnesbyrdets Bolig, for at der ikke skal komme Vrede over Israeliternes Menighed; og Leviterne skal tage Vare paa, hvad der er at varetage ved Vidnesbyrdets Bolig.

But the Levites shall encamp around the Tabernacle of the Testimony, that there may be no wrath on the congregation of the children of Israel. The Levites shall be responsible for the Tabernacle of the Testimony.”

54 Og Israeliterne gjorde ganske, hvad HERREN havde paalagt Moses.

Thus the children of Israel did. According to all that the LORD commanded Moses, so they did.
