Numbers 1:50, 52, 53
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. / The Israelites are to camp by their divisions, each man in his own camp and under his own standard. / 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.”
Numbers 3:23, 29, 35
The Gershonite clans were to camp on the west, behind the tabernacle, / The clans of the Kohathites were to camp on the south side of the tabernacle, / The leader of the families of the Merarites was Zuriel son of Abihail; they were to camp on the north side of the tabernacle.
