Yahweh spoke to Moses in the tent of meeting in the wilderness of Sinai. This happened on the first day of the second month during the second year after the people of Israel had come out from the land of Egypt. Yahweh said,

“Conduct a census of all the men of Israel in each clan, in their fathers' families. Count them by name. Count every male, each man
3 fra Tyveårsalderen og opefter skal du og Aron mønstre alle våbenføre Mænd i Israel, Hærafdeling for Hærafdeling;

4 en Mand af hver Stamme skal hjælpe eder dermed, Overhovedet for Stammens Fædrenehuse.
A man from each tribe, a clan head, must serve with you as his tribe's leader. Each leader must lead the men who will fight for his tribe.

because Yahweh had said to Moses,
49 Kun Levis Stamme må du ikke mønstre, og dens samlede Tal må du ikke optage sammen med de andre Israeliters.
“You must not count the tribe of Levi or include them in the total of the people 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.
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. The Levites must carry the tabernacle, and they must carry the tabernacle's furnishings. They must care for the tabernacle and 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 the tabernacle is to move to another place, the Levites must take it down. When the tabernacle is to be set up, the Levites must set it up. Any stranger who comes near the tabernacle must be killed.
52 Israeliterne skal lejre sig hver i sin Lejrafdeling og under sit Felttegn, Hærafdeling for Hærafdeling,
When the people of Israel set up their tents, each man must do so near the banner that belongs to his armed group.
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.
However, the Levites must set up their tents around the tabernacle of the covenant decrees so that my anger does not come upon the people of Israel. The Levites must care for the tabernacle of the covenant decrees.”
54 Og Israeliterne gjorde ganske, hvad HERREN havde pålagt Moses.
The people of Israel did all these things. They did everything that Yahweh commanded through Moses.
