Bamidbar 1:52-54

Orthodox Jewish Bible

⁵² And the Bnei Yisroel shall pitch their tents, every man by his own machaneh (camp), and every man by his own degel (standard, banner), throughout their tzva’ot (hosts).

⁵³ But the Levi’im shall encamp around the Mishkan HaEdut, that there be no ketzef (wrath) fall upon the Adat Bnei Yisroel; and the Levi’im shall be shomer mishmeret (watch the watch, attend to, keep the charge, the reverence) of the Mishkan HaEdut.

⁵⁴ And the Bnei Yisroel did according to all that Hashem commanded Moshe, so did they.
