And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

49 Only the tribe of Levi, shalt thou not number, nor the sum of them, shalt thou reckon up, in the midst of the sons 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 do, thou thyself, put the Levites in charge over the habitation of the testimony, and over all the furniture thereof and over all that pertaineth thereto, they, shall bear the habitation, and all the furniture thereof, and they, shall attend thereupon; and, round about the habitation, shall they encamp.

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 And, when the habitation is to set forward, the Levites shall take it down, and when the habitation is to be pitched, the Levites, shall set it up, but the stranger that draweth 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 So then the sons of Israel shall pitch their tents, every man, near his own camp, and, every man, near his own standard, by their hosts;

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 pitch their tents round about the habitation of the testimony, that there be no wrath upon the assembly of the sons of Israel, —so shall the Levites keep the watch of the habitation 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 did the sons of Israel, —according to all that Yahweh commanded Moses, so, did they.

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