16These are the chosen leaders of the community, the leaders of their ancestral tribes, the heads of the clans of Israel.”

17Then Moses and Aaron took these men who had been mentioned by name,

17So Moses and Aaron called together these chosen leaders,

18and they assembled all the congregation together on the first day of the second month; and they recited their ancestry by families, by their fathers’ houses, according to the number of names, from twenty years old and above, each one individually.

47But the Levites were not numbered among them by their fathers’ tribe;

48for the LORD had spoken to Moses, saying:

48For the LORD had said to Moses,

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

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

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.

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.

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 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.

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

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

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 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.”

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

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