Num 1:49: Only thou shalt not number the tribe of Levi, neither take the sum of them Among the children of Israel:

Num 1:50: But thou shalt Appoint the Levites over the tabernacle of 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 unto it, And shall encamp round About the tabernacle.

Num 1:51: And when the tabernacle setteth forward, the Levites shall take it down: And when the tabernacle is to be pitched, the Levites shall set it up: And the stranger that cometh nigh shall be put to death.

Num 1:52: And the children of Israel shall pitch their tents, every man by his own camp, And every man by his own standard, throughout their hosts.

Num 1:53: But the Levites shall pitch round About the tabernacle of testimony, that there be no wrath upon the congregation of the children of Israel: And the Levites shall keep the charge of the tabernacle of testimony.

Num 1:54: And the children of Israel did According to All that the LORD commanded Moses, so did they.
