49 "Only the tribe of Levi you shall not number, neither shall you take a census of them among the children of Israel;

See, you shall not muster the tribe of Levi, and you shall not take their numbers, in the midst of the children of Israel.

50 but appoint the Levites over the Tabernacle of the Testimony, and over all its furnishings, and over all that belongs to it. They shall carry the tabernacle, and all its furnishings; and they shall take care of it, and shall camp around it.

And do you set the Levites over the tabernacle of witness, and over all its furniture, and over all things that are in it; and they shall do service in it, and they shall encamp round about the tabernacle.

51 When the tabernacle is to move, the Levites shall take it down; and when the tabernacle is to be set up, the Levites shall set it up. The unauthorized person who comes near shall be put to death.

And in removing the tabernacle, the Levites shall take it down, and in pitching the tabernacle they shall set it up: and let the stranger that advances [to touch it] die.

52 The children of Israel shall pitch their tents, every man by his own camp, and every man by his own standard, according to their divisions.

And the children of Israel shall encamp, every man in his own order, and every man according to his company, with their host.

53 But the Levites shall camp around the Tabernacle of the Testimony, that there may be no wrath on the congregation of the children of Israel: and the Levites shall be responsible for the Tabernacle of the Testimony."

But let the Levites encamp round about the tabernacle of witness fronting it, and [so] there shall be no sin amongst the children of Israel; and the Levites themselves shall keep the guard of the tabernacle of witness.

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

And the children of Israel did according to all that the Lord commanded Moses and Aaron, so did they.
