And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

49 Only the tribe of Levi thou shall not number, neither shall thou take the sum of them among the sons of Israel,

Number not the tribe of Levi, neither shalt thou put down the sum of them with the children of Israel:

50 but appoint thou the Levites over the tabernacle of the testimony, and over all the furniture of it, and over all that belongs to it. They shall bear the tabernacle, and all the furniture of it, and they shall minister to it, and shall encamp round about the tabernacle.

But appoint them over the tabernacle of the testimony, and all the vessels thereof, and whatsoever pertaineth to the ceremonies. They shall carry the tabernacle and all the furniture thereof: and they shall minister, and shall encamp round about the tabernacle.

51 And when the tabernacle sets forward, the Levites shall take it down, and when the tabernacle is to be pitched, the Levites shall set it up. And the stranger who comes near shall be put to death.

When you are to go forward, the Levites shall take down the tabernacle: when you are to camp, they shall set it up. What stranger soever cometh to it, shall be slain.

52 And the sons of Israel shall pitch their tents, every man by his own camp, and every man by his own standard, according to their armies.

And the children of Israel shall camp every man by his troops and bands and army.

53 But the Levites shall encamp round about the tabernacle of the testimony, that there be no wrath upon the congregation of the sons of Israel. And the Levites shall keep the charge of the tabernacle of the testimony.

But the Levites shall pitch their tents round about the tabernacle, lest there come indignation upon the multitude of the children of Israel, and they shall keep watch, and guard the tabernacle of the testimony.

54 Thus did the sons of Israel. According to all that Jehovah commanded Moses, so they did.

And the children of Israel did according to all things which the Lord had commanded Moses.
