They shall carry the tabernacle, and all its furnishings; and they shall take care of it, and shall encamp around it. 1:51When the tabernacle is to move, the Levites shall take it down; and when the tabernacle is to be set up, the Levites shall set it up. The stranger who comes near shall be put to death. 1:52The children of Israel shall pitch their tents, every man by his own camp, and every man by his own standard, according to their divisions. 1:53But the Levites shall encamp around the Tabernacle of the Testimony, that there may be no wrath on the congregation of the children of Israel: and the Levites shall be responsible for the Tabernacle of the Testimony."

1:54Thus the children of Israel did. According to all that Yahweh commanded Moses, so they did.
