They are to carry the tabernacle and all its furnishings; they are to take care of it and encamp around it. 51 Whenever the tabernacle(AD) is to move,(AE) the Levites are to take it down, and whenever the tabernacle is to be set up, the Levites shall do it.(AF) Anyone else who approaches it is to be put to death.(AG) 52 The Israelites are to set up their tents by divisions, each of them in their own camp under their standard.(AH) 53 The Levites, however, are to set up their tents around the tabernacle(AI) of the covenant law so that my wrath will not fall(AJ) on the Israelite community. The Levites are to be responsible for the care of the tabernacle of the covenant law.(AK)”
