Numbers 1:51-53

Good News Translation

⁵¹ Whenever you move your camp, the Levites shall take the Tent down and set it up again at each new campsite. Anyone else who comes near the Tent shall be put to death. ⁵² The rest of the Israelites shall set up camp, company by company, each man with his own group and under his own banner. ⁵³ But the Levites shall camp around the Tent to guard it, so that no one may come near and cause my anger to strike the community of Israel.”
