For Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,

Only the tribe of Levi thou shall not number, neither shall thou take the sum of them among the sons of Israel,

50 Fa Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no ho dwumadie hyɛ Lewifoɔ no nsa. Wɔnhwɛ nneɛma a wɔde asiesie mu ne deɛ ɛkeka ho nyinaa so. Wɔn na wɔbɛsoa Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no ne emu nneɛma, wɔbɛhwɛ so na wɔatenatena ho.

And the sons of Israel shall pitch their tents, every man by his own camp, and every man by his own standard, according to their armies.
