Numbers 1:49-51

Complete Jewish Bible

⁴⁹ “Do not include the clan of Levi when you take the census of the people of Isra’el. ⁵⁰ Instead, give the L’vi’im charge over the tabernacle of the testimony, its equipment and everything else connected with it. They are to carry the tabernacle and all its equipment, serve in it and set up their camp around it. ⁵¹ When the tabernacle is to be moved onward, it is the L’vi’im who are to take it down and set it up in the new location; anyone else who involves himself is to be put to death.
