“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.”
And they shall bear all its furnishings, and shall attend to it and encamp around it — the Levites' comprehensive responsibility for the tabernacle's care and maintenance establishes them as the priesthood's support corps. The encampment of the Levites around the tabernacle creates a protective circle of sacred service around Israel's most holy space, a different form of warfare (the warfare of prayer and intercession).
