47 But the Levites in the tribes of their families were not numbered with them
48 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying
49 “Do not number the tribe of Levi, neither shall you take a total of them with the sons of Israel
50 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 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 Now the sons of Israel shall make camp, each one by his companies and bands, as well as his army
53 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 Therefore, the sons of Israel acted according to everything that the Lord had instructed Moses
