And they shall stand watch as guardians over the tabernacle of the testimony.”	But the Levites shall camp around the tabernacle of the testimony, so that there may be no wrath on the congregation of the people of Israel. And the Levites shall keep guard over the tabernacle of the testimony.”	The Levites, however, are to set up their tents around the tabernacle of the covenant law so that my wrath will not fall on the Israelite community. The Levites are to be responsible for the care of the tabernacle of the covenant law.”
54	Therefore, the sons of Israel acted according to everything that the Lord had instructed Moses.	Thus did the people of Israel; they did according to all that the LORD commanded Moses.	The Israelites did all this just as the LORD commanded Moses.
