from twenty years old and upward, all that are able to go forth to war in Israel:
ye shall number them by their hosts, even thou and Aaron.

46
even all those that were numbered were six hundred thousand and three thousand and

47
But the Levites after the tribe of their fathers were not numbered among them.
48
And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying:
49
'Howbeit the tribe of Levi thou shalt not number, neither shalt thou take the sum
of them among the children of Israel;
50
but appoint thou the Levites over the tabernacle of the testimony, and over all the
furniture thereof, and over all that belongeth to it; they shall bear the tabernacle,
and all the furniture thereof; and they shall minister unto it, and shall encamp round
about the tabernacle.
51
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 common man that
draweth nigh shall be put to death.
52
And the children of Israel shall pitch their tents, every man with his own camp, and
every man with his own standard, according to their hosts.
53
But the Levites shall pitch round about the tabernacle of the 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 the testimony.'
54
Thus did the children of Israel; according to all that the LORD commanded Moses, so
did they.
