And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

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

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 Kutena pacl kowos ac mukuila nu ke sie pacna acn, ma kunen mwet Levi in tuleya Lohm Nuknuk Mutal sik, ac sifilpa tulokunak ke nien aktuktuk sasu. Kutena mwet saya su tuku apkuran nu ke Lohm Nuknuk Mutal ac fah anwuki.
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.
