1:47 利未人卻沒有按著支派數在其中,
1:48 因為耶和華曉諭摩西說:
1:49 「惟獨利未支派你不可數點,也不可在以色列人中計算他們的總數。
1:50
只要派利未人管法櫃的帳幕和其中的器具,並屬乎帳幕的;他們要抬(抬或作:搬運)帳幕和其中的器具,並要辦理帳幕的事,在帳幕的四圍安營。
1:51
帳幕將往前行的時候,利未人要拆卸;將支搭的時候,利未人要豎起。近前來的外人必被治死。
1:52 以色列人支搭帳棚,要照他們的軍隊,各歸本營,各歸本纛。
1:53
但利未人要在法櫃帳幕的四圍安營,免得忿怒臨到以色列會眾;利未人並要謹守法櫃的帳幕。」
1:54 以色列人就這樣行。凡耶和華所吩咐摩西的,他們就照樣行了。
現代中文本
1:47 利未人沒有跟其他支族一起登記,
1:48 因為上主曾經對摩西說:
1:49 「你調查能作戰的人數時,不要包括利未支族。
1:50 你要派利未人管理聖幕和一切用具;他們要搬運這些器具,在聖幕裏事奉。他們的帳棚要支搭在聖幕的四周。
1:51 你們每次遷移營地的時候,利未人要拆卸聖幕,在新的營地重新支搭起來。任何其他的人靠近聖幕,必須處死。
1:52 其餘的以色列人要紮營,每一個人在自己所屬的旗幟下,按照部隊,一組一組地紮營。
1:53 但是利未人要在聖幕的四周紮營守衛,免得有人走近聖幕,惹我發怒而擊打以色列會眾。」
1:54 以色列人照著上主命令摩西的話做了。
思想問題:利未人是上帝分別出來要服事上帝的人,我們也是,我是否全然順服上帝的吩咐和教導?

RSV
1:47 But the Levites were not
numbered by their ancestral tribe along with them.
1:48 For the LORD said to Moses,
1:49 "Only the tribe of Levi you shall not
number, and you shall not take a census of them among the people of
Israel;
1:50 but appoint the Levites over the
tabernacle of the testimony, and over all its furnishings, and over all
that belongs to it; they are to carry the tabernacle and all its
furnishings, and they shall tend it, and shall encamp around the
tabernacle.
1:51 When the tabernacle is to set out, the
Levites shall take it down; and when the tabernacle is to be pitched,
the Levites shall set it up. And if any one else comes near, he shall be
put to death.
1:52 The people of Israel shall pitch their
tents by their companies, every man by his own camp and every man by his
own standard;
1:53 but the Levites shall encamp around the
tabernacle of the testimony, that there may be no wrath upon the
congregation of the people of Israel; and the Levites shall keep charge
of the tabernacle of the testimony."
1:54 Thus did the people of Israel; they did
according to all that the LORD commanded Moses.
