Numbers 1:50-52

Modern English Version

⁵⁰ but you will appoint the Levites over the tent of the testimony, and over all its vessels, and over all things that belong to it. They will carry the tabernacle, and all its vessels, and they will minister to it, and will camp around the tabernacle. ⁵¹ When the tabernacle sets out, the Levites will take it down, and when the tabernacle is to be set up, the Levites will set it up, and the foreigner that approaches will be put to death. ⁵² The children of Israel will pitch their tents, every man by his own camp, and every man by his own standard, throughout their armies.
