Numbers 1:52-54

Evangelical Heritage Version

⁵² The Israelites will set up camp, everyone in his own camp and under his own standard, according to their military divisions. ⁵³ But the Levites will camp around the Dwelling of the Testimony so that wrath will not fall on the Israelite community. In this way the Levites will perform the duties for the Dwelling of the Testimony.”

⁵⁴ So the Israelites did everything that the Lord commanded Moses, exactly as he commanded.
