1:2 Take ye the census of all the congregation of the Benai Yisrael (ישׂרא), after their mishpekhot (families), by the beit of their Avot, with the number of [their] shemot, every male by their polls;

1:3 From twenty years old and upward, all that are able to go forth to war in Yisrael (ישׂרא): thou and Aharon shall number them by their armies.

1:4 And with you there shall be a man of every tribe; every one head of the beit of his Avot.

1:51 And when the Mishkan setteth forward, the Leviim shall take it down: and when the Mishkan is to be pitched, the Leviim shall set it up: and the stranger that cometh nigh shall be put to death.

1:52 And the Benai Yisrael (ישׂרא) shall pitch their tents, every man by his own camp, and every man by his own degel (standard), throughout their Tzavot.

1:53 But the Leviim shall pitch round about the Mishkan HaEdut (testimony), that there be no wrath upon the congregation of the Benai Yisrael (ישׂרא): and the Leviim shall keep the charge of the Mishkan HaEdut (testimony).
