48because the LORD had ordered Moses:

49“Do not number the tribe of Levi in the census with the other Israelites.

49"Be sure not to number or count the tribe of Levi with the rest of the Israelis.

50Instead, you are to appoint the Levites over the tabernacle of the Testimony, all its furnishings, and everything in it. They shall carry the tabernacle and all its articles, care for it, and camp around it.

50Instead, appoint the descendants of Levi over the Tent of Meeting, all the vessels, and everything in it. They are to carry the tent and all the vessels in it. They are to attend to it and camp around it.

51Whenever the tabernacle is to move, the Levites are to take it down, and whenever it is to be pitched, the Levites are to set it up. Any outsider who goes near it must be put to death.

51Whenever the tent is ready for travel, the descendants of Levi are to take it down. When it's time to encamp, the descendants of Levi are to set it up. Any unauthorized person who approaches it is to be executed.

52The Israelites are to camp by their divisions, each man in his own camp and under his own standard.

52Then the Israelis are to encamp around the tent, arranged according to their company and the standard of their army.

53But the Levites are to camp around the tabernacle of the Testimony and watch over it, so that no wrath will fall on the congregation of Israel. So the Levites are responsible for the tabernacle of the Testimony.”

53But the descendants of Levi are to encamp on all sides of the Tent of Meeting so that divine wrath won't fall on the congregation of Israel. The descendants of Levi are to take care of the Tent of Meeting."

54Thus the Israelites did everything just as the LORD had commanded Moses.

54The Israelis observed everything that the LORD had commanded Moses, doing exactly what they were told.
