- "Only the tribe of Levi you shall not number, nor shall you take their census among the sons of Israel.
- "But you shall appoint the Levites over the tabernacle of the testimony, and over all its furnishings and over all that belongs to it. They shall carry the tabernacle and all its furnishings, and they shall take care of it; they shall also camp around the tabernacle.
|
- The total number was 603,550.

- "You must not count the tribe of Levi or include them in the census of the other Israelites.
- Instead, appoint the Levites to be in charge of the tabernacle of the Testimony--over all its furnishings and everything belonging to it. They are to carry the tabernacle and all its furnishings; they are to take care of it and encamp around it.
|
- "So when the tabernacle is to set out, the Levites shall take it down; and when the tabernacle encamps, the Levites shall set it up But the layman who comes near shall be put to death.
- "The sons of Israel shall camp, each man by his own camp, and each man by his own standard, according to their armies.
- "But the Levites shall camp around the tabernacle of the testimony, so that there will be no wrath on the congregation of the sons of Israel So the Levites shall keep charge of the tabernacle of the testimony."
- Thus the sons of Israel did; according to all which the LORD had commanded Moses, so they did.
|
- Whenever the tabernacle is to move, the Levites are to take it down, and whenever the tabernacle is to be set up, the Levites shall do it. Anyone else who goes near it shall be put to death.
- The Israelites are to set up their tents by divisions, each man in his own camp under his own standard.
- The Levites, however, are to set up their tents around the tabernacle of the Testimony so that wrath will not fall on the Israelite community. The Levites are to be responsible for the care of the tabernacle of the Testimony."
- The Israelites did all this just as the LORD commanded Moses.
