21those that were numbered of them, of the tribe of Reuben, [were] forty-six thousand five hundred. 22Of the sons of Simeon, by their generations, after their families, by the houses of their fathers, those that were numbered of him, according to the number of the names, by their polls, every male from twenty years old and upward, all that were able to go forth to war, 23those that were numbered of them, of the tribe of Simeon, [were] fifty-nine thousand three hundred. 24Of the sons of Gad, by their generations, after their families, by the houses of their fathers, according to the number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, all that were able to go forth to war, 25those that were numbered of them, of the tribe of Gad, [were] forty-five thousand six hundred and fifty. 26Of the sons of Judah, by their generations, after their families, by the houses of their fathers, according to the number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, all that were able to go forth to war, 27those that were numbered of them, of the tribe of Judah, [were] seventy-four thousand six hundred. 28Of the sons of Issachar, by their generations, after their families, by the houses of their fathers, according to the number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, all that were able to go forth to war, 29those that were numbered of them, of the tribe of Issachar, [were] fifty-four thousand four hundred. 30Of the sons of Zebulun, by their generations, after their families, by the houses of their fathers, according to the number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, all that were able to go forth to war, 31those that were numbered of them, of the tribe of Zebulun, [were] fifty-seven thousand four hundred. 32Of the sons of Joseph: of the sons of Ephraim, by their generations, after their families, by the houses of their fathers, according to the number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, all that were able to go forth to war, 33those that were numbered of them, of the tribe of Ephraim, [were] forty thousand five hundred; [and] 34of the sons of Manasseh, by their generations, after their families, by the houses of their fathers, according to the number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, all that were able to go forth to war, 35those that were numbered of them, of the tribe of Manasseh, [were] thirty-two thousand two hundred. 36Of the sons of Benjamin, by their generations, after their families, by the houses of their fathers, according to the number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, all that were able to go forth to war, 37those that were numbered of them, of the tribe of Benjamin, [were] thirty-five thousand four hundred. 38Of the sons of Dan, by their generations, after their families, by the houses of their fathers, according to the number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, all that were able to go forth to war, 39those that were numbered of them, of the tribe of Dan, [were] sixty-two thousand seven hundred. 40Of the sons of Asher, by their generations, after their families, by the houses of their fathers, according to the number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, all that were able to go forth to war, 41those that were numbered of them, of the tribe of Asher, [were] forty-one thousand five hundred. 42Of the sons of Naphtali, by their generations, after their families, by the houses of their fathers, according to the number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, all that were able to go forth to war, 43those that were numbered of them, of the tribe of Naphtali, [were] fifty-three thousand four hundred. 44These [are] those that were numbered, which Moses and Aaron numbered, and the twelve princes of Israel, one man for each house of his fathers. 45So were all those that were numbered of the sons of Israel, by the houses of their fathers, from twenty years old and upward, all that were able to go forth to war in Israel;
