53 But nthe Levites shall camp around the tabernacle of the testimony, oso that there may be no wrath on the congregation of the people of Israel. And pthe Levites shall keep guard over the tabernacle of the testimony.”
38 Those who were to camp before the tabernacle qon the east, before the tent of meeting toward the sunrise, were Moses and Aaron and his sons, rguarding the sanctuary itself, to protect1 the people of Israel. And sany outsider who came near was to be put to death.
26 They minister1 to their brothers in the tent of meeting by rkeeping guard, but they shall do no service. Thus shall you do to the Levites in assigning their duties.”
3 They shall bkeep guard over you and over the whole tent, but shall not come near to the vessels of the sanctuary or to the altar lest they, and you, die. 4 They shall join you and keep guard over the tent of meeting for all the service of the tent, and cno outsider shall come near you. 5 And you shall keep guard over the sanctuary and over the altar, that there may never again be wrath on the people of Israel.
30 And from the people of Israel’s half you shall take one drawn out of every fifty, of the people, of the oxen, of the donkeys, and of the flocks, of all the cattle, and give them to the Levites who fkeep guard over the tabernacle of the Lord.”
47 from the people of Israel’s half Moses took one of every 50, both of persons and of beasts, and gave them to the Levites who kept guard over the tabernacle of the Lord, as the Lord commanded Moses.
