48because the LORD had ordered Moses:

49“Only the tribe of Levi you shall not number, nor take a census of them among the children of Israel;

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

50but you shall appoint the Levites over the tabernacle of the Testimony, over all its furnishings, and over all things that belong to it; they shall carry the tabernacle and all its furnishings; they shall attend to it and camp around the tabernacle.

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.

51And when the tabernacle is to go forward, the Levites shall take it down; and when the tabernacle is to be set up, the Levites shall set it up. The outsider who comes near shall be put to death.

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.

52The children of Israel shall pitch their tents, everyone by his own camp, everyone by his own standard, according to their armies;

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

53but the Levites shall camp around the tabernacle of the Testimony, that there may be no wrath on the congregation of the children of Israel; and the Levites shall keep charge of the tabernacle of the Testimony.”

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."

54Thus the children of Israel did; according to all that the LORD commanded Moses, so they did.

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