Numbers 1:51-53

New Century Version

⁵¹ Any time the Holy Tent is moved, the Levites must take it down, and any time it is set up, the Levites must do it. Anyone else who goes near the Holy Tent will be put to death. ⁵² The Israelites will make their camps in separate divisions, each family near its flag. ⁵³ But the Levites must make their camp around the Holy Tent of the Agreement so that I will not be angry with the Israelites. The Levites will take care of the Holy Tent of the Agreement.”
