They shall carryH5375 the tabernacleH4908 and allH3605 its furnishingsH3627, and they shall takeH8334 careH8334 ofH8334 it; they shall also campH2583 aroundH5439 the 29tabernacleH4908. 5130So when the tabernacleH4908 is to moveH5265 onH5265, the LevitesH3881 shall takeH3381 it downH3381; and when the tabernacleH4908 encampsH2583, the LevitesH3881 shall setH6965 it upH6965. But 31the 32laymanH2114 who comesH7131 nearH7131 it shall be putH4191 toH4191 deathH4191. 5233So the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 shall campH2583, eachH376 manH376 by his own campH4264, and eachH376 manH376 by his own 34flagH1714, according to their armiesH6635. 5335But the LevitesH3881 shall campH2583 aroundH5439 the tabernacleH4908 of the testimonyH5715, so that there will be 36noH3808 divine wrathH7110 againstH5921 the congregationH5712 of the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478. 37So the LevitesH3881 shall beH8104 responsibleH8104 forH8104 serviceH4931 to the tabernacleH4908 of the testimonyH5715.” 54And the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 didH6213 so; in accordance with allH3605 that the LordH3068 had commandedH6680 MosesH4872, soH3651 they didH6213.
