[1] Yahweh spoke to Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, in the tent of
meeting, on the first day of the second month, in the second year after
they were come out of the land of Egypt, saying, [2] Take the sum of all
the congregation of the children of Israel, by their families, by their
fathers` houses, according to the number of the names, every male, by their
polls; [3] from twenty years old and upward, all who are able to go forth
to war in Israel, you and Aaron shall number them by their hosts. [4] With
you there shall be a man of every tribe; everyone head of his fathers`
house. [5] These are the names of the men who shall stand with you. Of
Reuben: Elizur the son of Shedeur. [6] Of Simeon: Shelumiel the son of
Zurishaddai. [7] Of Judah: Nahshon the son of Amminadab. [8] Of Issachar:
Nethanel the son of Zuar. [9] Of Zebulun: Eliab the son of Helon. [10] Of
the children of Joseph: Of Ephraim: Elishama the son of Ammihud. Of
Manasseh: Gamaliel the son of Pedahzur. [11] Of Benjamin: Abidan the son of
Gideoni. [12] Of Dan: Ahiezer the son of Ammishaddai. [13] Of Asher: Pagiel
the son of Ochran. [14] Of Gad: Eliasaph the son of Deuel. [15] Of
Naphtali: Ahira the son of Enan. [16] These are those who were called of
the congregation, the princes of the tribes of their fathers; they were the
heads of the thousands of Israel. [17] Moses and Aaron took these men who
are mentioned by name: [18] They assembled all the congregation together on
the first day of the second month; and they declared their pedigrees after
their families, by their fathers` houses, according to the number of the
names, from twenty years old and upward, by their polls. [19] As Yahweh
commanded Moses, so he numbered them in the wilderness of Sinai. [20] The
children of Reuben, Israel`s firstborn, their generations, by their
families, by their fathers` houses, according to the number of the names,
by their polls, every male from twenty years old and upward, all who were
able to go forth to war; [21] those who were numbered of them, of the tribe
of Reuben, were forty-six thousand five hundred. [22] Of the children of
Simeon, their generations, by their families, by their fathers` houses,
those who were numbered of it, according to the number of the names, by
their polls, every male from twenty years old and upward, all who were able
to go forth to war; [23] those who were numbered of them, of the tribe of
Simeon, were fifty-nine thousand three hundred. [24] Of the children of
Gad, their generations, by their families, by their fathers` houses,
according to the number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, all
who were able to go forth to war; [25] those who were numbered of them, of
the tribe of Gad, were forty-five thousand six hundred fifty. [26] Of the
children of Judah, their generations, by their families, by their fathers`
houses, according to the number of the names, from twenty years old and
upward, all who were able to go forth to war; [27] those who were numbered
of them, of the tribe of Judah, were sixty-four thousand six hundred. [28]
Of the children of Issachar, their generations, by their families, by their
fathers` houses, according to the number of the names, from twenty years
old and upward, all who were able to go forth to war; [29] those who were
numbered of them, of the tribe of Issachar, were fifty-four thousand four
hundred. [30] Of the children of Zebulun, their generations, by their
families, by their fathers` houses, according to the number of the names,
from twenty years old and upward, all who were able to go forth to war;
[31] those who were numbered of them, of the tribe of Zebulun, were
fifty-seven thousand four hundred. [32] Of the children of Joseph,
[namely], of the children of Ephraim, their generations, by their families,
by their fathers` houses, according to the number of the names, from twenty
years old and upward, all who were able to go forth to war; [33] those who
were numbered of them, of the tribe of Ephraim, were forty thousand five
hundred. [34] Of the children of Manasseh, their generations, by their
families, by their fathers` houses, according to the number of the names,
from twenty years old and upward, all who were able to go forth to war;
[35] those who were numbered of them, of the tribe of Manasseh, were
thirty-two thousand two hundred. [36] Of the children of Benjamin, their
generations, by their families, by their fathers` houses, according to the
number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, all who were able to
go forth to war; [37] those who were numbered of them, of the tribe of
Benjamin, were thirty-five thousand four hundred. [38] Of the children of
Dan, their generations, by their families, by their fathers` houses,
according to the number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, all
who were able to go forth to war; [39] those who were numbered of them, of
the tribe of Dan, were sixty-two thousand seven hundred. [40] Of the
children of Asher, their generations, by their families, by their fathers`
houses, according to the number of the names, from twenty years old and
upward, all who were able to go forth to war; [41] those who were numbered
of them, of the tribe of Asher, were forty-one thousand five hundred. [42]
Of the children of Naphtali, their generations, by their families, by their
fathers` houses, according to the number of the names, from twenty years
old and upward, all who were able to go forth to war; [43] those who were
numbered of them, of the tribe of Naphtali, were fifty-three thousand and
four hundred. [44] These are those who were numbered, whom Moses and Aaron
numbered, and the princes of Israel, being twelve men: they were each one
for his fathers` house. [45] So all those who were numbered of the children
of Israel by their fathers` houses, from twenty years old and upward, all
who were able to go forth to war in Israel; [46] even all those who were
numbered were six hundred three thousand five hundred fifty. [47] But the
Levites after the tribe of their fathers were not numbered among them. [48]
For Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, [49] Only the tribe of Levi you shall
not number, neither shall you take the sum of them among the children of
Israel; [50] but appoint you the Levites over the tent of the testimony,
and over all the furniture of it, and over all that belongs to it: they
shall bear the tent, and all the furniture of it; and they shall minister
to it, and shall encamp round about the tent. [51] When the tent sets
forward, the Levites shall take it down; and when the tent is to be
pitched, the Levites shall set it up: and the stranger who comes near shall
be put to death. [52] The children of Israel shall pitch their tents, every
man by his own camp, and every man by his own standard, according to their
hosts. [53] But the Levites shall encamp round about the tent of the
testimony, that there be no wrath on the congregation of the children of
Israel: and the Levites shall keep the charge of the tent of the testimony.
[54] Thus did the children of Israel; according to all that Yahweh
commanded Moses, so did they.
