Numbers 1:52-54

New International Version

⁵² The Israelites are to set up their tents by divisions, each of them in their own camp under their standard.^{(A) 53} The Levites, however, are to set up their tents around the tabernacle^(B) of the covenant law so that my wrath will not fall^(C) on the Israelite community. The Levites are to be responsible for the care of the tabernacle of the covenant law.^(D)”

⁵⁴ The Israelites did all this just as the Lord commanded Moses.
