4"With you, moreover, there shall be a man of each tribe, each one head of his father's household.H376H376H4294H376H7218H1004H1

47The Levites, however, were not numbered among them by their fathers' tribe.H3881H4294H1H6485H8432

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.H6485H3881H4908H5715H3627H5375H4908H3627H8334H2583H5439H4908

52"And the sons of Israel shall camp, each man by his own camp, and each man by his own standard, according to their armies.H1121H3478H2583H376H4264H376H1714H6635

53"But the Levites shall camp around the tabernacle of the testimony, that there may be no wrath on the congregation of the sons of Israel. So the Levites shall keep charge of the tabernacle of the testimony."H3881H2583H5439H4908H5715H7110H5712H1121H3478H3881H8104H4931H4908H5715
