¹⁹ When the cloud was resting on the House for a long time the children of Israel, waiting for the order of the Lord, did not go on.

⁵² The children of Israel are to put up their tents, every man in his tent-circle round his flag.

⁵³ But the tents of the Levites are to be round the Tent of meeting, so that wrath may not come on the children of Israel: the Tent of meeting is to be in the care of the Levites.

⁸ And they will have the care of all the vessels of the Tent of meeting, and will do for the children of Israel all the necessary work of the House.

⁷ These are the words of the Lord of armies: If you will go in my ways and keep what I have put in your care, then you will be judge over my Temple and have the care of my house, and I will give you the right to come in among those who are there.
