Put the Levites in charge of the Tabernacle and of the Testimony, as well as all its furniture and everything it contains. They are the ones responsible for carrying the Tabernacle and all its items. They are to care for it, and to make their camp around it.
51 Når Boligen skal bryde op, skal Leviterne tage den ned, og når Boligen skal gå i Lejr, skal Leviterne rejse den. Enhver Lægmand, der kommer den nær, skal lide Døden.
When it's time to move the Tabernacle, the Levites shall take it down, and when it's time to make camp, the Levites shall put it up. Any outsider who goes near it must be put to death.
52 Israeliterne skal lejre sig hver i sin Lejrafdeling og under sit Felttegn, Hærafdeling for Hærafdeling,
The Israelites are to make camp according to their tribal divisions, each person in their own camp under their own flag.
53 men Leviterne skal lejre sig rundt om Vidnesbyrdets Bolig, for at der ikke skal komme Vrede over Israelitternes Menighed; og Leviterne skal tage Vare på, hvad der er at varetage ved Vidnesbyrdets Bolig.
But the Levites are to set up their camp around the Tabernacle of the Testimony to stop anyone making me angry with the Israelites. The Levites are responsible for looking after the Tabernacle of the Testimony.”
54 Og Israeliterne gjorde ganske, hvad HERREN havde pålagt Moses.
The Israelites did everything that the Lord ordered Moses that they should do.
