Numbers 1:51-53

Revised Geneva Translation

⁵¹ “And when the Tabernacle goes forth, the Levites shall take it down. And when the Tabernacle is to be pitched, the Levites shall set it up. For the stranger who comes near shall be killed.

⁵² “Also, the children of Israel shall pitch their tents, every man in his own camp, and every man under his own standard, throughout their armies.

⁵³ “But the Levites shall pitch all around the Tabernacle of the Testimony, lest vengeance come upon the Congregation of the children of Israel. And the Levites shall take charge of the Tabernacle of the Testimony.”
