Just don’t count the Levi tribe, keep them outta the Israel totals, bet.
Only thou shalt not number the tribe of Levi, neither take the sum of them among the children of Israel:
Instead, the Levites are in charge of the tabernacle and all its gear, they got that responsibility, ya feel?
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.
When it’s time to move the tabernacle, the Levites pack it up, and when it’s time to set it up, they pop off and do their thing. Anyone who rolls up wrong? Straight up outta here, no cap.
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.
The Israelites set up their tents, each fam chilling at their own spot, repping their own crew, all across the camp.
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.

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.
