Numbers 1:53

But the Levites shall pitch (their tents) around the tabernacle of testimony, so that the congregation of the sons of Israel may not incur wrath. The Levites shall take care of (look after, be responsible for) the tabernacle of testimony.
[The Levites replace the firstborn sons of Israel, who would originally have performed these duties but lost that privilege when they worshipped the golden calf. The Levites remained faithful during that time and thus won God's favor, see Ex. 13:2; 13:11–13; 32:25–26; Num. 3:12–13. It is also necessary for the Levites to set up their tents around the tabernacle in all four directions, unlike the other tribes, who are assigned one direction. They form a protective wall to prevent the Israelites from coming too close to the tabernacle, which could trigger God's wrath to strike the camp, see Num. 1:53.]
