50 sed constitue eos super tabernaculum testimonii et cuncta vasa eius, et quidquid ad ceremonias pertinet. Ipsi portabunt tabernaculum et omnia utensilia eius: et erunt in ministerio, ac per gyrum tabernaculi metabuntur.

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.

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.

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."
