Instead, you are to appoint the Levites over the tabernacle of the Testimony, all its furnishings, and everything in it. They shall carry the tabernacle and all its articles, care for it, and camp around it.
51 Kikhop khomna ngahmun chon phat alhin teng, Levi chapate cheng in aphet lhah diu, hitia chu ngahmun nalhun teng uleh amahon thah sondoh kit diu, ama vang koi hileh phalna beiya kikhop khomna ponbuh ganailut behseh chan chu thiding ahi.
Whenever the tabernacle is to move, the Levites are to take it down, and whenever it is to be pitched, the Levites are to set it up. Any outsider who goes near it must be put to death.

But the Levites are to camp around the tabernacle of the Testimony and watch over it, so that no wrath will fall on the congregation of Israel. So the Levites are responsible for the tabernacle of the Testimony.”
54 Hitichun Pathen in Mose henga athupeh bangtah chun Israel chaten emajouse aboltauvin ahi.
Thus the Israelites did everything just as the LORD had commanded Moses.
