1And Jehovah 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 had come out of the land of Egypt, saying: 2Take a head count of all the congregation of the sons of Israel, by their families, by their fathers houses, according to the number of names, every male by head, 3from twenty years old and above; all who are able to go to war in Israel. You and Aaron shall number them by their armies. 4And with you there shall be a man from every tribe, each one the head of his fathers house. 5These are the names of the men who shall stand with you: from Reuben, Elizur the son of Shedeur; 6from Simeon, Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai; 7from Judah, Nahshon the son of Amminadab; 8from Issachar, Nethanel the son of Zuar; 9from Zebulun, Eliab the son of Helon; 10from the sons of Joseph: from Ephraim, Elishama the son of Ammihud; from Manasseh, Gamaliel the son of Pedahzur; 11from Benjamin, Abidan the son of Gideoni; 12from Dan, Ahiezer the son of Ammishaddai; 13from Asher, Pagiel the son of Ocran; 14from Gad, Eliasaph the son of Deuel; 15from Naphtali, Ahira the son of Enan. 16These were chosen from the congregation, leaders of their fathers tribes, heads of thousands in Israel. 17And Moses and Aaron took these men who had been designated by name, 18and they assembled all the congregation together on the first day of the second month; and they declared their lineage by families, by their fathers houses, according to the number of names, from twenty years old and above, each one by head. 19As Jehovah commanded Moses, so he numbered them in the wilderness of Sinai. 20And the sons of Reuben, Israels firstborn, their genealogies by their families, by their fathers house, according to the number of names, every male by head, from twenty years old and above, all who were able to go to war: 21those who were numbered of the tribe of Reuben were forty-six thousand five hundred. 22From the sons of Simeon, their genealogies by their families, by their fathers house, of those who were numbered, according to the number of names, every male by head, from twenty years old and above, all who were able to go to war: 23those who were numbered of the tribe of Simeon were fifty-nine thousand three hundred. 24From the sons of Gad, their genealogies by their families, by their fathers house, according to the number of names, from twenty years old and above, all who were able to go to war: 25those who were numbered of the tribe of Gad were forty-five thousand six hundred and fifty. 26From the sons of Judah, their genealogies by their families, by their fathers house, according to the number of names, from twenty years old and above, all who were able to go to war: 27those who were numbered of the tribe of Judah were seventy-four thousand six hundred. 28From the sons of Issachar, their genealogies by their families, by their fathers house, according to the number of names, from twenty years old and above, all who were able to go to war: 29those who were numbered of the tribe of Issachar were fifty-four thousand four hundred. 30From the sons of Zebulun, their genealogies by their families, by their fathers house, according to the number of names, from twenty years old and above, all who were able to go to war: 31those who were numbered of the tribe of Zebulun were fifty-seven thousand four hundred. 32From the sons of Joseph, the sons of Ephraim, their genealogies by their families, by their fathers house, according to the number of names, from twenty years old and above, all who were able to go to war: 33those who were numbered of the tribe of Ephraim were forty thousand five hundred. 34From the sons of Manasseh, their genealogies by their families, by their fathers house, according to the number of names, from twenty years old and above, all who were able to go to war: 35those who were numbered of the tribe of Manasseh were thirty-two thousand two hundred. 36From the sons of Benjamin, their genealogies by their families, by their fathers house, according to the number of names, from twenty years old and above, all who were able to go to war: 37those who were numbered of the tribe of Benjamin were thirty-five thousand four hundred. 38From the sons of Dan, their genealogies by their families, by their fathers house, according to the number of names, from twenty years old and above, all who were able to go to war: 39those who were numbered of the tribe of Dan were sixty-two thousand seven hundred. 40From the sons of Asher, their genealogies by their families, by their fathers house, according to the number of names, from twenty years old and above, all who were able to go to war: 41those who were numbered of the tribe of Asher were forty-one thousand five hundred. 42From the sons of Naphtali, their genealogies by their families, by their fathers house, according to the number of names, from twenty years old and above, all who were able to go to war: 43those who were numbered of the tribe of Naphtali were fifty-three thousand four hundred. 44These are the ones who were numbered, whom Moses and Aaron numbered, with the leaders of Israel, twelve men, each one representing his fathers house. 45So all who were numbered of the sons of Israel, by their fathers houses, from twenty years old and above, all who were able to go to war in Israel; 46all who were numbered were six hundred and three thousand five hundred and fifty. 47But the Levites were not numbered among them by their fathers tribe; 48for Jehovah had spoken to Moses, saying: 49Only the tribe of Levi you shall not number, nor take a head count of them among the sons of Israel; 50but you shall appoint the Levites over the tabernacle of the Testimony, over all its furnishings, and over all things that belong to it; they shall carry the tabernacle and all its furnishings; they shall serve for it and camp around the tabernacle. 51And when the tabernacle sets out, the Levites shall take it down; and when the tabernacle is to be pitched, the Levites shall set it up. The stranger who comes near shall be put to death. 52The children of Israel shall pitch their tents, everyone by his own camp, everyone by his own standard, according to their armies; 53but the Levites shall camp around the tabernacle of the Testimony, that there may be no wrath on the congregation of the children of Israel; and the Levites shall keep charge of the tabernacle of the Testimony. 54Thus the children of Israel did; according to all that Jehovah commanded Moses, thus they did.
