Nm 1:50But you, 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 minister to it and shall encamp around the tabernacle.
Nm 1:51And when the tabernacle sets out, the Levites shall take it down; and when the tabernacle encamps, the Levites shall set it up. But the stranger who comes near shall be put to death.
Nm 1:52And the children of Israel shall encamp, each one by his own camp and each one by his own standard, according to their companies.
Nm 1:53But the Levites shall encamp around the Tabernacle of the Testimony, that there be no wrath upon the assembly of the children of Israel. And the Levites shall keep the charge of the Tabernacle of the Testimony.
Nm 1:54Thus did the children of Israel do; according to all that Jehovah had commanded Moses, so they did.
