48The LORD had said to Moses:

49"Be sure not to number or count the tribe of Levi with the rest of the Israelis.

49"You must not count the tribe of Levi or include them in the census of the other Israelites.

50Instead, appoint the descendants of Levi over the Tent of Meeting, all the vessels, and everything in it. They are to carry the tent and all the vessels in it. They are to attend to it and camp around it.

50Instead, appoint the Levites to be in charge of the tabernacle of the covenant law--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.

51Whenever the tent is ready for travel, the descendants of Levi are to take it down. When it's time to encamp, the descendants of Levi are to set it up. Any unauthorized person who approaches it is to be executed.

51Whenever 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 approaches it is to be put to death.

52Then the Israelis are to encamp around the tent, arranged according to their company and the standard of their army.

52The Israelites are to set up their tents by divisions, each of them in their own camp under their standard.

53But the descendants of Levi are to encamp on all sides of the Tent of Meeting so that divine wrath won't fall on the congregation of Israel. The descendants of Levi are to take care of the Tent of Meeting."

53The Levites, however, are to set up their tents around the tabernacle of the covenant law so that my wrath will not fall on the Israelite community. The Levites are to be responsible for the care of the tabernacle of the covenant law."

54The Israelis observed everything that the LORD had commanded Moses, doing exactly what they were told.

54The Israelites did all this just as the LORD commanded Moses.
