49"Only the tribe of Levi you shall not number, nor shall you take their census among the sons of Israel.49“Do not include the tribe of Levi in the registration; do not count them with the rest of the Israelites.
50"But you shall appoint the Levites over the tabernacle of the testimony, and over all its furnishings and over all that belongs to it. They shall carry the tabernacle and all its furnishings, and they shall take care of it; they shall also camp around the tabernacle.50Put the Levites in charge of the Tabernacle of the Covenant, along with all its furnishings and equipment. They must carry the Tabernacle and all its furnishings as you travel, and they must take care of it and camp around it.
51"So when the tabernacle is to set out, the Levites shall take it down; and when the tabernacle encamps, the Levites shall set it up. But the layman who comes near shall be put to death.51Whenever it is time for the Tabernacle to move, the Levites will take it down. And when it is time to stop, they will set it up again. But any unauthorized person who goes too near the Tabernacle must be put to death.
52"The sons of Israel shall camp, each man by his own camp, and each man by his own standard, according to their armies.52Each tribe of Israel will camp in a designated area with its own family banner.
53"But the Levites shall camp around the tabernacle of the testimony, so that there will be no wrath on the congregation of the sons of Israel. So the Levites shall keep charge of the tabernacle of the testimony."53But the Levites will camp around the Tabernacle of the Covenant to protect the community of Israel from the LORD’s anger. The Levites are responsible to stand guard around the Tabernacle.”
54Thus the sons of Israel did; according to all which the LORD had commanded Moses, so they did.54So the Israelites did everything just as the LORD had commanded Moses.
