The Israelite population went from seventy

males) in about 400 years.
(1:45) "All those that were numbered of the children of Israel ... from twenty years old and upward, all that were able to go forth to war in Israel"

But the Levites after the tribe of their fathers were not numbered among
them. |
| | 1:48
For the LORD had spoken unto Moses, saying, |
| | 1:49
Only thou shalt not number the tribe of Levi, neither take the sum of them
among the children of Israel: |
| | 1:50
But 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. |
| | 1:51
And when the tabernacle setteth forward, the Levites shall take it down:
and when the tabernacle is to be pitched, the Levites shall set it up: and the
stranger that cometh
nigh shall be put to death. |
(1:51)
"The stranger that cometh nigh shall be put to death."
How should strangers be treated?
| | 1:52
And the children of Israel shall pitch their tents, every man by his own
camp, and every man by his own standard, throughout their hosts.
| | 1:53
But the Levites shall pitch round about the tabernacle of testimony, that
there be no wrath upon the congregation of the children of Israel: and the
Levites shall keep the charge of the tabernacle of testimony. |
| | 1:54
And the children of Israel did according to all that the LORD commanded
Moses, so did they. |
