48And the Lord had spoken with Mosheh, saying:

49Only the tribe of Levi thou shalt not number, nor take the account of them among the sons of Israel.

50But thou shalt appoint the Levites over the tabernacle of the testimony, and over all its vessels, and over all that belongeth to it: and they shall carry the tabernacle and all its vessels, and serve it; and they shall encamp round about the tabernacle.

51And when the tabernacle is to go forward, the Levites shall take it apart; and when the tabernacle is to be stationary, the Levites shall set it up; but the stranger who cometh nigh shall be put to death.

52And the sons of Israel shall encamp every man upon his own dwelling-place, and every man by his standard, according to their hosts.

53But the Levites shall dwell round about the tabernacle of the testimony, that there may not be wrath upon the congregation of the sons of Israel; and the Levites shall watch the watching of the tabernacle of testimony.

54And the sons of Israel did according to all that the Lord commanded Mosheh, so did they.
