1 And the Lord spoke to Moses in the desert of Sinai, in the tabernacle of the covenant, on the first day of the second month, in the year after their departure from Egypt, saying 2 "Take a total of the entire assembly of the sons of Israel, by their families and houses, and the names of each one, of whomever is of the male sex 3 from twenty years and above, of all the able-bodied men out of Israel, and you shall number them by their companies, you and Aaron 4 And there shall be with you the leaders of the tribes, as well as of the houses, in their kinships 5 the names of whom are these: of Ruben, Elizur the son of Shedeur 6 of Simeon, Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai 7 of Judah, Nahshon the son of Amminadab 8 of Issachar, Nathanael the son of Zuar 9 of Zebulon, Eliab the son of Helon 10 And from the sons 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 Reuel 15 of Naphtali, Ahira the son of Enan. 16 These are the very noble leaders of the multitude, by their tribes and kinships, and the heads of the army of Israel 17 Moses and Aaron took these, with all the multitude of the common people 18 and they gathered them together on the first day of the second month, taking a census of them by kinships, and houses, and families, and heads, and the names of each one from twenty years and above 19 just as the Lord had instructed Moses. And they were numbered in the desert of Sinai 20 Of Ruben, the firstborn of Israel, by their generations and families and houses, and the names of each head, of all who were of the male sex, from twenty years and above, capable of going to war 21 there were forty-six thousand five hundred 22 Of the sons of Simeon, by their generations and families, and the houses of their kinships, having been counted by the names and heads of each one, of all who were of the male sex, from twenty years and above, capable of going to war 23 there were fifty-nine thousand three hundred 24 Of the sons of Gad, by their generations and families, and the houses of their kinships, having been counted by the names of each one, from twenty years and above, of all who could go forth to war 25 there were forty-five thousand six hundred fifty 26 Of the sons of Judah, by their generations and families, and the houses of their kinships, by the names of each one, from twenty years and above, of all who were able to go forth to war 27 there were counted seventy-four thousand six hundred 28 Of the sons of Issachar, by their generations and families, and the houses of their kinships, by the names of each one, from twenty years and above, of all who could go forth to war 29 there were counted fifty-four thousand four hundred 30 Of the sons of Zebulon, by their generations and families, and the houses of their kinships, having been counted by the names of each one, from twenty years and above, of all who were able to go forth to war 31 there were fifty-seven thousand four hundred 32 From the sons of Joseph, of the sons of Ephraim, by their generations and families, and the houses of their kinships, having been counted by the names of each one, from twenty years and above, of all who were able to go forth to war 33 there were forty thousand five hundred 34 Furthermore, of the sons of Manasseh, by their generations and families, and the houses of their kinships, having been counted by the names of each one, from twenty years and above, of all who were able to go forth to war 35 there were thirty-two thousand two hundred 36 Of the sons of Benjamin, by their generations and families, and the houses of their kinships, having been counted by the names of each one, from twenty years and above, of all who were able to go forth to war 37 there were thirty-five thousand four hundred 38 Of the sons of Dan, by their generations and families, and the houses of their kinships, having been counted by the names of each one, from twenty years and above, of all who were able to go forth to war 39 there were sixty-two thousand seven hundred 40 Of the sons of Asher, by their generations and families, and the houses of their kinships, having been counted by the names of each one, from twenty years and above, of all who were able to go forth to war 41 there were forty thousand and one thousand five hundred 42 Of the sons of Naphtali, by their generations and families, and the houses of their kinships, having been counted by the names of each one, from twenty years and above, of all who were able to go forth to war 43 there were fifty-three thousand four hundred 44 These are the ones who were numbered by Moses and Aaron and the twelve leaders of Israel, each one by the houses of their kinships 45 And the entire number of the sons of Israel by their houses and families, from twenty years and above, who were able to go forth to war, wer 46 six hundred three thousand five hundred fifty men 47 But the Levites in the tribes of their families were not numbered with them 48 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying 49 "Do not number the tribe of Levi, neither shall you take a total of them with the sons of Israel 50 But appoint them over the tabernacle of the testimony, and all its vessels, and whatever pertains to the ceremonies. They shall carry the tabernacle and all its articles. And they shall be for the ministry, and they shall encamp all around the tabernacle 51 When you would depart, the Levites shall take down the tabernacle. When you are to make camp, they shall set it up. Any outsider who will approach it shall be killed 52 Now the sons of Israel shall make camp, each one by his companies and bands, as well as his army 53 Moreover, the Levites shall fix their tents all around the tabernacle, lest there be an indignation over the multitude of the sons of Israel. And they shall stand watch as guardians over the tabernacle of the testimony. 54 Therefore, the sons of Israel acted according to everything that the Lord had instructed Moses
