Only thou shalt not number the tribe of Levi, neither take the sum of them among the children of Israel.

But thou, appoint the Levites over the tabernacle of testimony, and over all the vessels thereof, and over all things that belong to it: they shall bear the tabernacle, and all its vessels; and they shall serve it, and round about the tabernacle shall they encamp;
51 Bere biara a ɛsɛ sɛ wotu Ahyiae Ntamadan no, Lewifo no na ɛsɛ sɛ wotutu, na baabiara a wɔde besi no, wɔn na wɔbɛyɛ. Onipa foforo biara a ɔbɛbɛn ho no, wobekum no.

And the children of Israel shall encamp every man in his camp, and every man by his own standard, according to their hosts;
