48For the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

48For the LORD had said to Moses,

49“Only the tribe of Levi you shall not list, and you shall not take a census of them among the people of Israel.

49“Do not include the tribe of Levi in the registration; do not count them with the rest of the Israelites.

50But appoint the Levites over the tabernacle of the testimony, and over all its furnishings, and over all that belongs to it. They are to carry the tabernacle and all its furnishings, and they shall take care of it and shall 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.

51When the tabernacle is to set out, the Levites shall take it down, and when the tabernacle is to be pitched, the Levites shall set it up. And if any outsider comes near, he 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.

52The people of Israel shall pitch their tents by their companies, each man in his own camp and each man by his own standard.

52Each tribe of Israel will camp in a designated area with its own family banner.

53But the Levites shall camp around the tabernacle of the testimony, so that there may be no wrath on the congregation of the people of Israel. And the Levites shall keep guard over 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 did the people of Israel; they did according to all that the LORD commanded Moses.

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