But the Levites after the tribe of their fathers were not numbered among them.

48 ف َقَدْ قالَ اللهُ لِمُوسَى:

For Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

49 « لا تُحْصِ قَبِيلَةَ لاوِي. لا تَحْسِبْ عَدَدَهُمْ مَعَ بَني إسْرائِيلَ.

“Only the tribe of Levi you shall not number, neither shall you take a census of them among the children of Israel;

50 ب َلْ أعْطِ الَّلاوِيِّينَ مَسْؤوليَةَ مَسْكَنَ العَهْدِ، وَجَمِيعِ أثاثِهِ وَأدَواتِهِ. هُمْ يَحمِلُونَ المَسْكَنَ وَأثاثَهُ، وَيَهتَمُّونَ بِهِ، وَيَنْصُبُونَ خِيامَهُمْ حَولَ المَسْكَنِ.

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 و َحِينَ يأتي وَقْتُ ارْتِحالِ المَسْكَنِ، يُنْزِلُهُ الَّلاوِيُّونَ. وَحِينَ يُقامُ، يُقيمُهُ الَّلاوِيُّونَ. وَكُلُّ مَنْ يَقتَرِبُ مِنَ الخَيمَةِ المُقَدَّسَةِ غَيْرُهُمْ يُقتَلُ.

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.

52 و َيُقِيمُ بَنو إسْرائِيلَ فِي مُخَيَّماتِهِمْ فِي أقسامٍ مُنفَصِلَةٍ. يُقِيمُ كُلُّ واحِدٍ فِي مُخَيَّمِهِ قُرْبَ رايَتِهِ.

The children of Israel shall pitch their tents, every man by his own camp, and every man by his own standard, according to their divisions.

53 و َأمّا الَّلاوِيُّونَ فَيُخَيِّمُوا حَولَ مَسْكَنِ العَهْدِ، كَي لا يَحِلَّ غَضَبُ اللهِ عَلَى بَني إسْرائِيلَ. وَيَكُونُ الَّلاوِيُّونَ مَسؤُولِينَ عَنْ مَسْكَنِ العَهْدِ.»

But the Levites shall encamp around the Tabernacle of the Testimony, that there may be no wrath on the congregation of the children of Israel: and the Levites shall be responsible for the Tabernacle of the Testimony.”

54 و َعَمِلَ بَنو إسْرائِيلَ كُلَّ ما أمَرَ اللهُ بِهِ مُوسَى.

Thus the children of Israel did. According to all that Yahweh commanded Moses, so they did.
