50 Instead, you are to appoint the Levites over the tabernacle of the Testimony, all its furnishings, and everything in it. They shall carry the tabernacle and all its articles, care for it, and camp around it.

And you appoint the Levites over [the] tabernacle of the testimony and over all articles its and over all that [belongs] to it they they will carry the tabernacle and all articles its and they they will serve it and around the tabernacle they will encamp.

51 Whenever the tabernacle is to move, the Levites are to take it down, and whenever it is to be pitched, the Levites are to set it up. Any outsider who goes near it must be put to death.

And when sets out the tabernacle they will take down it the Levites and when encamps the tabernacle they will raise up it the Levites and the stranger approaching he will be put to death.

52 The Israelites are to camp by their divisions, each man in his own camp and under his own standard.

And they will encamp [the] people of Israel everyone at camp his and everyone at standard his to military groups their.

53 But the Levites are to camp around the tabernacle of the Testimony and watch over it, so that no wrath will fall on the congregation of Israel. So the Levites are responsible for the tabernacle of the Testimony.”

And the Levites they will encamp around [the] tabernacle of the testimony and not it will be wrath towards [the] congregation of [the] people Israel and they will keep the Levites [the] duty of [the] tabernacle of the testimony.

54 Thus the Israelites did everything just as the LORD had commanded Moses.

And they did [the] people of Israel according to all that he had commanded Yahweh Moses so they did.
