“ You must not count the men from the tribe of Levi. Do not include them when you list the other men of Israel.Instead, put the Levites in charge of the holy tent. That is where the tablets of the covenant law are kept. The Levites will be in charge of everything that belongs to the holy tent. They must carry the tent and everything that belongs to it. They must take care of it. They must set up camp around it.When the holy tent must be moved, the Levites must take it down. And when the tent must be set up, the Levites must do it. Anyone else who approaches it must be put to death.The Israelites must set up their tents by military groups. All of them must be in their own camps under their own flags.But the Levites must set up their tents around the holy tent. That’s where the tablets of the covenant law are kept.

They are the men of Israel who must be given completely to him.Appoint Aaron and his sons to serve as priests. Anyone else who approaches the sacred tent must be put to death.”The Lord also said to Moses,“ I have taken the Levites from among the Israelites. I have taken them in place of the son born first to each woman in Israel. The Levites belong to me.That’s because every male born first to a mother is mine. In Egypt I struck down all the males born first. I did it when I set apart for myself every male born first to a mother in Israel. That is true for men and animals alike. They belong to me. I am the Lord.”The Lord spoke to Moses in the Desert of Sinai. He said,“ Count the Levites by their family groups. Count every male a month old or more.”So Moses counted them.
