LEB(i)
47 The Levites from their ancestors'* tribe were not mustered* in their midst.
48 And Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
49 "You will not muster* the tribe of Levi, and you will not ⌊take a census of⌋* them in the midst of the ⌊Israelites⌋.*
50 You will ⌊appoint⌋* them over the tabernacle of the testimony,* over all its vessels, and over all that belongs to it. They will carry the tabernacle and all its vessels, and they will care for it; and they will camp around the tabernacle.
51 And when the tabernacle is set out, the Levites will ⌊take it down⌋,* and when encamping the tabernacle the Levites will set it up; the stranger* that approaches it will be put to death.
52 The ⌊Israelites⌋* will encamp, each in their own camp, and each by their* own banner according to their divisions.
53 But the Levites will encamp around the tabernacle of the testimony,* and there will not be wrath on the community of the ⌊Israelites⌋;* and the Levites will keep the requirements of the tabernacle of the testimony."*
