44 These are those who were numbered, whom Moses and Aaron numbered, and

go out to war in Israel; 46 even all those who were numbered were six
hundred three thousand five hundred fifty. 47 But the Levites after the
tribe of their fathers were not numbered among them. 48 For Yahweh spoke
to Moses, saying, 49 “Only the tribe of Levi you shall not number, neither
shall you take a census of them among the children of Israel; 50 but
appoint the Levites over the Tabernacle of the Testimony, and over all its
furnishings, and over all that belongs to it. They shall carry the
tabernacle, and all its furnishings; and they shall take care of it, and
shall encamp around it. 51 When 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. 52 The
children of Israel shall pitch their tents, every man by his own camp, and
every man by his own standard, according to their divisions. 53 But 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.”
54 Thus the children of Israel did. According to all that Yahweh commanded
Moses, so they did.
