The Levites must carry the tabernacle, and they must carry the tabernacle's furnishings. They must care for the tabernacle and make their 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.
