and they gathered them together on the first day of the second month, taking a census of them by kinships, and houses, and families, and heads, and the names of each one from twenty years and above,

19 As the Lord had commanded Moses, so he nombred them in the wildernesse of Sinai.

47 But the Leuites, after the tribes of their fathers were not nombred among them.

But the Levites in the tribes of their families were not numbered with them.

48 For the Lord had spoken vnto Moses, and said,

And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

49 Onely thou shalt not number the tribe of Leui, neither take the summe of them among the children of Israel:

“Do not number the tribe of Levi, neither shall you take a total of them with the sons of Israel.

50 But thou shalt appoynt the Leuites ouer the Tabernacle of the Testimonie, and ouer all the instruments thereof, and ouer all things that belong to it: they shall beare the Tabernacle, and all the instruments thereof, and shall minister in it, and shall dwell round about the Tabernacle.

But appoint them over the tabernacle of the testimony, and all its vessels, and whatever pertains to the ceremonies. They shall carry the tabernacle and all its articles. And they shall be for the ministry, and they shall encamp all around the tabernacle.

51 And when the Tabernacle goeth forth, the Leuites shall take it downe: and when the Tabernacle is to be pitched, ye Leuites shall set it vp: for the stranger that commeth neere, shalbe slaine.

When you would depart, the Levites shall take down the tabernacle. When you are to make camp, they shall set it up. Any outsider who will approach it shall be killed.

52 Also the children of Israel shall pitch their tentes, euery man in his campe, and euery man vnder his standerd throughout their armies.

Now the sons of Israel shall make camp, each one by his companies and bands, as well as his army.

53 But the Leuites shall pitch rounde about the Tabernacle of the Testimonie, least vengeance come vpon the Congregation of the children of Israel, and the Leuites shall take the charge of the Tabernacle of the Testimonie.

Moreover, the Levites shall fix their tents all around the tabernacle, lest there be an indignation over the multitude of the sons of Israel. And they shall stand watch as guardians over the tabernacle of the testimony.”

54 So the children of Israel did according to all that ye Lord had comanded Moses: so did they.

Therefore, the sons of Israel acted according to everything that the Lord had instructed Moses.
