^40 (A)Let all things be done decently and in order.

³³ For God is not the author of ^[a]confusion but of peace, ^(A)as in all the churches of the saints.

⁵² The children of Israel shall pitch their tents, ^(A)everyone by his own camp, everyone by his own standard, according to their armies; ^53 (B)but the Levites shall camp around the tabernacle of the Testimony, that there may be no ^(C)wrath on the congregation of the children of Israel; and the Levites shall ^(D)keep^[a] charge of the tabernacle of the Testimony.”

^50 (A)but you shall appoint the Levites over the tabernacle of the Testimony, over all its furnishings, and over all things that belong to it; they shall carry the tabernacle and all its furnishings; they shall attend to it ^(B)and camp around the tabernacle.
