* But thou shalt appoint the Levites over the tabernacle of the testimony , and over all its vessels , and over all things that belong to it : they shall carry the tabernacle , and all its vessels ; and they shall minister unto it ; and round about the tabernacle shall they encamp . * And when the tabernacle is to be carried 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 . * And the children of Israel shall pitch their tents , every man by his own camp , and every man by his own standard , according to their armies . * But the Levites shall encamp round shout 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 . * And the children of Israel did so : all , just as the Lord had commanded Moses , so did they .
