48For the LORD had said to Moses,

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

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

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.

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 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.

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.

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

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

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

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