They shall bear the tabernacle, and all the furniture of it, and they shall minister to it, and s 51And when the tabernacle sets forward, the Levites shall take it down, and when the tabernacle is to be pitched, the Levites shall set it up. And the stranger who comes near shall be put to death. 52And the sons of Israel shall pitch their tents, every man by his own camp, and every man by his own standard, according to their armies. 53But the Levites shall encamp round about the tabernacle of the testimony, that there be no wrath upon the congregation of the sons of Israel. And the Levites shall keep the charge of the tabernacle of the testimony. 54Thus did the sons of Israel. According to all that LORD commanded Moses, so they did.
