1:47But the Levites after the tribe of their fathers were not numbered among them.

1:48For the LORD had spoken unto Moses, saying,

1:49Only thou shalt not number the tribe of Levi, neither take the sum of them among the children of Israel:

1:50But thou shalt appoint the Levites over the tabernacle of testimony, and over all the vessels thereof, and over all things that belong to it: they shall bear the tabernacle, and all the vessels thereof; and they shall minister unto it, and shall encamp round about the tabernacle.

2:33But the Levites were not numbered among the children of Israel; as the LORD commanded Moses.
