The Census

1The LORD spoke to Moses in the Tent of Meeting in the Desert of Sinai on the first day of the second month of the second year after the Israelites came out of Egypt. He said:H3068H1696H4872H4057H5514H168H4150H259H8145H2320H8145H8141H3318H776H4714H559

49"You must not count the tribe of Levi or include them in the census of the other Israelites.H6485H4294H3878H5375H7218H8432H1121H3478

50Instead, appoint the Levites to be in charge of the tabernacle of the Testimony—over all its furnishings and everything belonging to it. They are to carry the tabernacle and all its furnishings; they are to take care of it and encamp around it.H6485H3881H4908H5715H3627H5375H4908H3627H8334H2583H5439H4908

52The Israelites are to set up their tents by divisions, each man in his own camp under his own standard.H1121H3478H2583H376H4264H376H1714H6635

53The Levites, however, are to set up their tents around the tabernacle of the Testimony so that wrath will not fall on the Israelite community. The Levites are to be responsible for the care of the tabernacle of the Testimony."H3881H2583H5439H4908H5715H7110H5712H1121H3478H3881H8104H4931H4908H5715
