| 49"Be sure not to number or count the tribe of Levi with the rest of the Israelis. | 49Only thou shalt not number the tribe of Levi, neither take the sum of them among the children of Israel: |
| 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. | 50But thou shalt appoint the Levites over the tabernacle of testimony, and over all the vessels thereof, and over all things that belong to it: they shall bear the tabernacle, and all the vessels thereof; and they shall minister unto it, and shall encamp round about the tabernacle. |
| 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. | 51And when the tabernacle setteth forward, the Levites shall take it down: and when the tabernacle is to be pitched, the Levites shall set it up: and the stranger that cometh nigh shall be put to death. |
| 52Then the Israelis are to encamp around the tent, arranged according to their company and the standard of their army. | 52And the children of Israel shall pitch their tents, every man by his own camp, and every man by his own standard, throughout their hosts. |
| 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." | 53But the Levites shall pitch round about the tabernacle of testimony, that there be no wrath upon the congregation of the children of Israel: and the Levites shall keep the charge of the tabernacle of testimony. |
| 54The Israelis observed everything that the LORD had commanded Moses, doing exactly what they were told. | 54And the children of Israel did according to all that the LORD commanded Moses, so did they. |
