33The Levites, however, were not counted along with the other Israelites, as the LORD commanded Moses. | 33But as the LORD had commanded, the Levites were not included in this registration. |
34So the Israelites did everything the LORD commanded Moses; that is the way they encamped under their standards, and that is the way they set out, each of them with their clan and family. | 34So the people of Israel did everything as the LORD had commanded Moses. Each clan and family set up camp and marched under their banners exactly as the LORD had instructed them. |
