Numbers 1:47-50

47 1The Levites, however, were not counted among them by their fathers’ tribe.

48For the Lord had spoken to Moses, saying,

49“Only the tribe of Levi 2you shall not count, nor shall you take their 3census among the sons of Israel.

50And you shall 4appoint the Levites over the 5tabernacle of the testimony, and over all its furnishings and over everything that belongs to it. They shall carry the tabernacle and all its furnishings, and they shall take care of it; they shall also camp around the 6tabernacle.
