And the tabernacle of the testimony shall be carried by the officers of the Levites and their troops. As it shall be set up, so shall it be taken down. Every one shall march according to their places, and ranks.
When you are to go forward, the Levites shall take down the tabernacle: when you are to camp, they shall set it up. What stranger soever cometh to it shall be slain.
These are the sons of Levi in their kindreds and families, princes by their courses: and the number of every head that did the works of the ministry of the house of the Lord from twenty years old and upward.
