⁸ Also they shall attend to all the furnishings of the tabernacle of meeting, and to the needs of the children of Israel, to do the work of the tabernacle.

⁵² The children of Israel shall pitch their tents, ^(A)everyone by his own camp, everyone by his own standard, according to their armies; ^53 (B)but the Levites shall camp around the tabernacle of the Testimony, that there may be no ^(C)wrath on the congregation of the children of Israel; and the Levites shall ^(D)keep^[a] charge of the tabernacle of the Testimony.”
