⁴⁹ Only thou shalt not number the tribe of Levi, neither take the sum of them among the sons of Israel;

⁵⁰ But thou shalt place the Levites in the tabernacle of the testimony and over all the vessels thereof and over all things that belong to it; they shall bear the tabernacle and all the vessels thereof; and they shall minister in it and shall encamp round about the tabernacle.

⁵¹ And when the tabernacle departs, the Levites shall take it down; and when the tabernacle is to be pitched, the Levites shall set it up; and the stranger that comes near shall be put to death.

⁵² And the sons of Israel shall pitch their tents, each man by his own camp and each man by his own standard, throughout their hosts.

⁵³ But the Levites shall pitch round about the tabernacle of the testimony that there be no wrath upon the congregation of the sons of Israel; and the Levites shall keep the charge of the tabernacle of the testimony.

⁵⁴ And the sons of Israel did according to all that the LORD commanded Moses, so did they.
