They are to carry the tabernacle and all its furnishings, and they shall take care of it and shall camp around the tabernacle.50But 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.
