of Israel, after their families, by the house of their

1:49 Only thou shalt not number the tribe of Levi, neither
take the sum of them among the children of Israel:
1:50 But 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.
1:51 And 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.
1:52 And the children of Israel shall pitch their tents,
every man by his own camp, and every man by his own
standard, throughout their hosts.
1:53 But 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.
1:54 And the children of Israel did according to all that
the LORD commanded Moses, so did they.
