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.

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.

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 Ɛberɛ biara a ɛsɛ sɛ wɔtu Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no, Lewifoɔ no na ɛsɛ sɛ wɔtutu, na baabiara a wɔde bɛsi no, wɔn na wɔbɛyɛ. Onipa foforɔ biara a ɔbɛbɛn ho no, wɔbɛkum no.

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.

52 Israel abusuakuo biara bɛnya nʼatenaeɛ ne ne frankaa.

Now the sons of Israel shall make camp, each one by his companies and bands, as well as his army.

53 Lewifoɔ no bɛsisi wɔn ntomadan atwa Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no ho ahyia, sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a Onyankopɔn abufuhyeɛ remma Israelfoɔ no so. Lewifoɔ no na wɔbɛhwɛ Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no so.”

Moreover, the Levites shall fix their tents all around the tabernacle, lest there be an indignation over the multitude of the sons of Israel. And they shall stand watch as guardians over the tabernacle of the testimony.”

54 Israelfoɔ no yɛɛ yeinom nyinaa sɛdeɛ Awurade hyɛɛ Mose no.

Therefore, the sons of Israel acted according to everything that the Lord had instructed Moses.
