"Only the tribe of Levi you shall not number, neither shall you take a census of them among the children of Yisra'el;
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.

47
you shall take five shekels apiece for each one; after the shekel of the sanctuary you shall take them (the shekel is twenty gerahs):
48
and you shall give the money, with which the remainder of them is redeemed, to Aharon and to his sons."

20
but they shall not go in to see the sanctuary even for a moment, lest they die."
