04:001:045 So were all those that were numbered of the children of Israel, by the house of their fathers, from twenty years old and upward, all that were able to go forth to war in Israel;
04:001:046 Even all they that were numbered were six hundred thousand and three thousand and five hundred and fifty.
04:001:047 But the Levites after the tribe of their fathers were not numbered among them.
04:001:048 For the LORD had spoken unto Moses, saying,
04:001:049 Only thou shalt not number the tribe of Levi, neither take the sum of them among the children of Israel:
04:001:050 But thou shalt appoint the Levites over the tabernacle of testimony, and over all the vessels thereof, and over all things that belong to it: they shall bear the tabernacle, and all the vessels thereof; and they shall minister unto it, and shall encamp round about the tabernacle.
04:001:051 And when the tabernacle setteth forward, the Levites shall take it down: and when the tabernacle is to be pitched, the Levites shall set it up: and the stranger that cometh nigh shall be put to death.
04:001:052 And the children of Israel shall pitch their tents, every man by his own camp, and every man by his own standard, throughout their hosts.
04:001:053 But the Levites shall pitch round about the tabernacle of testimony, that there be no wrath upon the congregation of the children of Israel: and the Levites shall keep the charge of the tabernacle of testimony.
04:001:054 And the children of Israel did according to all that the LORD commanded Moses, so did they.
