44 These are the summes whiche Moyses and Aaron numbred, and the princes of Israel, those twelue men which were euery one for the house of their fathers. 45 So were all the numbers of the chyldren of Israel throughout the houses of their fathers, from twentie yeres and aboue, all that went foorth to the warre in Israel: 46 All they I say, were in number sixe hundred thousand, and three thousand, fiue hundred and fiftie. 47 But the Leuites after the tribes of their fathers, were not numbred among them. 48 For the Lorde spake vnto Moyses, saying: 49 Only thou shalt not number the tribe of Leui, neither take the summe of them among the chyldren of Israel. 50 But thou shalt appoynt the Leuites ouer the tabernacle of wytnesse, & ouer all the vessels therof, and ouer all thinges that are in it: Yea, they shall beare the tabernacle, and all the vessels therof, and they shall minister in it, and shall dwell rounde about the tabernacle. 51 And whe the tabernacle goeth foorth, the Leuites shall take it downe: and when the tabernacle is to be pitched, the Leuites shal set it vp: and if any straunger come nye, he shall dye. 52 And the chyldren of Israel shall pitch their tentes, euery man in his owne campe, and euery man vnder his owne standerd throughout their hoastes. 53 But the Leuites shall pitche rounde about the tabernacle of wytnesse, that there be no wrath vpon the congregation of the chyldren of Israel: and the Leuites shall kepe the watche of the tabernacle of wytnesse. 54 And the chyldren of Israel dyd accordyng to all that the Lorde commaunded Moyses, euen so dyd they.
