Numbers 1:49-51

Good News Translation

⁴⁹ “When you take a census of the men fit for military service, do not include the tribe of Levi. ⁵⁰ Instead, put the Levites in charge of the Tent of my presence and all its equipment. They shall carry it and its equipment, serve in it, and set up their camp around it. ⁵¹ Whenever you move your camp, the Levites shall take the Tent down and set it up again at each new campsite. Anyone else who comes near the Tent shall be put to death.
