“Even of the children of Israel’s half, Moses took one portion of fifty, both of man and of beast, and gave them unto the Levites, which kept the charge of the tabernacle of the Lord; as the Lord commanded Moses.”
Even of the children of Israel's half, Moses took one portion of fifty, both of the persons, and of the beasts, and gave them unto the Levites, which kept the charge of the tabernacle of the LORD; as the LORD commanded Moses — from the congregation's half, Moses sets apart the Levites' tribute (1/50), ensuring that those who serve the sanctuary are sustained by all of Israel. The phrase "kept the charge of the tabernacle" emphasizes their ongoing role in maintaining the sacred center, justifying their support from communal spoils.
