*
But the Levites were not numbered by their ancestral tribe along with them .
*
For the LORD said to Moses ,
* "
Only the tribe of Levi you shall not number ,
and you shall not take a census of them among the people of Israel ;
*
but appoint the Levites over the tabernacle of the testimony ,
and over all its furnishings ,
and over all that belongs to it ;
they are to carry the tabernacle and all its furnishings ,
and they shall tend it ,
and shall encamp around the tabernacle .
*
When the tabernacle is to set out ,
the Levites shall take it down ;
and when the tabernacle is to be pitched ,
the Levites shall set it up .
And if any one else comes near ,
he shall be put to death .
*
The people of Israel shall pitch their tents by their companies ,
every man by his own camp and every man by his own standard ;
*
but the Levites shall encamp around the tabernacle of the testimony ,
that there may be no wrath upon the congregation of the people of Israel ;
and the Levites shall keep charge of the tabernacle of the testimony ."
*
Thus did the people of Israel ;
they did according to all that the LORD commanded Moses .
*
The LORD said to Moses and Aaron ,
* "
The people of Israel shall encamp each by his own standard ,
with the ensigns of their fathers '
houses ;
they shall encamp facing the tent of meeting on every side .
*
Those to encamp on the east side toward the sunrise shall be of the standard of the camp of Judah by their companies ,
the leader of the people of Judah being Nahshon the son of Ammin '

as they encamp ,
so shall they set out ,
each in position ,
standard by standard .
* "
On the west side shall be the standard of the camp of E '
phraim by their companies ,
the leader of the people of E '
phraim being Eli '
shama the son of Ammi '

These are the people of Israel as numbered by their fathers '
houses ;
all in the camps who were numbered by their companies were six hundred and three thousand five hundred and fifty .
*
But the Levites were not numbered among the people of Israel ,
as the LORD commanded Moses .
*
Thus did the people of Israel .
According to all that the LORD commanded Moses ,
so they encamped by their standards ,
and so they set out ,
every one in his family ,
according to his fathers '
house .
*
These are the generations of Aaron and Moses at the time when the LORD spoke with Moses on Mount Sinai .
