16These are the chosen leaders of the community, the leaders of their ancestral tribes, the heads of the clans of Israel.”

17Moses and Aaron took these men whose names had been specified,

17So Moses and Aaron called together these chosen leaders,

18and they called the whole community together on the first day of the second month. The people registered their ancestry by their clans and families, and the men twenty years old or more were listed by name, one by one,

18and they assembled the whole community of Israel on that very day. All the people were registered according to their ancestry by their clans and families. The men of Israel who were twenty years old or older were listed one by one,

48The LORD had said to Moses:

48For the LORD had said to Moses,

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

49“Do not include the tribe of Levi in the registration; do not count them with the rest of the Israelites.

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.

50Put the Levites in charge of the Tabernacle of the Covenant, along with all its furnishings and equipment. They must carry the Tabernacle and all its furnishings as you travel, and they must take care of it and camp around it.

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.

51Whenever it is time for the Tabernacle to move, the Levites will take it down. And when it is time to stop, they will set it up again. But any unauthorized person who goes too near the Tabernacle must be put to death.

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

52Each tribe of Israel will camp in a designated area with its own family banner.

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."

53But the Levites will camp around the Tabernacle of the Covenant to protect the community of Israel from the LORD’s anger. The Levites are responsible to stand guard around the Tabernacle.”

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

54So the Israelites did everything just as the LORD had commanded Moses.
