49 Onely thou shalt not number the tribe
of Leui, neither take the summe of them among
the children of Israel:
50 But thou shalt appoynt the Leuites ouer
the Tabernacle of the Testimonie, & ouer all the
instruments thereof, and ouer all things that belong
to it: they shall beare the Tabernacle, and
all the instruments thereof, & shall minister in it,
and shall note dwell round about the Tabernacle.
51 And when the Tabernacle goeth forth, the
Leuites shall take it downe: and when the Tabernacle
is to be pitched, þe; Leuites shall set it vp:
for the note stranger þt; commeth nere, shalbe slaine.
52 Also the children of Israel shal pitch their
tentes, euery man in his campe, and euery man
vnder his standerd throughout their armies.
53 But the Leuites shall pitch rounde about
the Tabernacle of the Testimonie, least vengeance
note come vpon the Congregation of the children
of Israel, and the Leuites shall take the
charge of the Tabernacle of the Testimonie.
54 So the children of Israel did according to
all that þe; Lord had c&obar;manded Moses: so did they.
