[edit] Chapter 1
1 On the first day of the second month, in the second year after the exodus from the land of Egypt,[1] the Lord spoke to Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, in the Tent of Meeting,[2] saying:
2 Take a census of all the Israelites by the clans of their ancestral houses, listing the names of every male head by head. 3 You and Aaron shall record by their groups, from the age of twenty years and up, all those in Israel who are able to bear arms. 4 The man who is head of his ancestral house from each tribe shall assist you.[3]
5 These are the names of the men who are to assist you: From Reuben, Elizur the son of Shedeur. 6 From Simeon, Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai. 7 From Judah, Nahshon the son of Amminadab. 8 From Issachar, Nethanel the son of Zuar. 9 From Zebulun, Eliab the son of Helon. 10 From the sons of Joseph: From Ephraim, Elishama the son of Ammihud; from Manasseh, Gamaliel the son of Pedahzur. 11 From Benjamin, Abidan the son of Gideoni. 12 From Dan, Ahiezer the son of Ammishaddai. 13 From Asher, Pagiel the son of Ochran. 14 From Gad, Eliasaph the son of Deuel. 15 From Naphtali, Ahira, the son of Enam. 16 These are the elected of the Israelites, the chieftains of the ancestral tribes; they are the leaders of the houses[4] of Israel.
17 So Moses and Aaron took these men who were designated by name, 18 and on the first day of the second month, they gathered together the whole of the people and registered them by the clans of their ancestral houses - the names of those being aged twenty years and over listed head by head. 19 As the Lord had commanded Moses, so he registered them in the wilderness of the Sinai.
20 (Note)[5] The total of the census was as follows: The descendants of Reuben, first-born of Israel, the listing of the clans of their ancestral house by name, head by head, all the males of age twenty years and over, all who were able to bear arms - 21 Those registered from the tribe of Reuben: 46,500.
22 Of the descendants of Simeon, the listing of the clans of their ancestral house by name, head by head, all the males of age twenty years and over, all who were able to bear arms - 23 Those registered from the tribe of Simeon: 59,300.
24 Of the descendants of Gad, the listing of the clans of their ancestral house by name, head by head, all the males of age twenty years and over, all who were able to bear arms - 25 Those registered from the tribe of Gad: 45,650.
26 Of the descendants of Judah, the listing of the clans of their ancestral house by name, head by head, all the males of age twenty years and over, all who were able to bear arms - 27 Those registered from the tribe of Judah: 74,600.
28 Of the descendants of Issachar, the listing of the clans of their ancestral house by name, head by head, all the males of age twenty years and over, all who were able to bear arms - 29 Those registered from the tribe of Issachar: 54,400.
30 Of the descendants of Zebulun, the listing of the clans of their ancestral house by name, head by head, all the males of age twenty years and over, all who were able to bear arms - 31 Those registered from the tribe of Zebulun: 57,400.
32 Of the descendants of Joseph: Of the descendants of Ephraim: the listing of the clans of their ancestral house by name, head by head, all the males of age twenty years and over, all who were able to bear arms - 33 Those registered from the tribe of Ephraim: 40,500.
34 Of the descendants of Manasseh, the listing of the clans of their ancestral house by name, head by head, all the males of age twenty years and over, all who were able to bear arms - 35 Those registered from the tribe of Manasseh: 32,200.
36 Of the descendants of Benjamin, the listing of the clans of their ancestral house by name, head by head, all the males of age twenty years and over, all who were able to bear arms - 37 Those registered from the tribe of Benjamin: 35,400.
38 Of the descendants of Dan, the listing of the clans of their ancestral house by name, head by head, all the males of age twenty years and over, all who were able to bear arms - 39 Those registered from the tribe of Dan: 62,700.
40 Of the descendants of Asher, the listing of the clans of their ancestral house by name, head by head, all the males of age twenty years and over, all who were able to bear arms - 41 Those registered from the tribe of Asher: 41,500.
42 Of the descendants of Naphtali, the listing of the clans of their ancestral house by name, head by head, all the males of age twenty years and over, all who were able to bear arms - 43 Those registered from the tribe of Naphtali: 53,400.
44 Those are the listings recorded by Moses and Aaron and by the chieftains of Israel, who were twelve in number, being one man from each ancestral house. 45 All the Israelites aged twenty years and over, listed by their ancestral houses, all those in Israel who were able to bear arms - 46 all who were counted came to 603,550.
47 The Levites, however, were not listed among them by their ancestral tribe. 48 For the Lord had spoken to Moses saying: 49 Do not for any reason record the Levites or take a census of them with the Israelites. 50 You shall put the Levites in charge of the Tabernacle of the Pact with all its furnishings and all that belongs to it; They shall carry the Tabernacle and all its furnishings, and they shall tend it, and they shall make their camp around it. 51 When the Tabernacle is to be taken down, the Levites shall take it down, and when the Tabernacle is to be assembled, the Levites shall assemble it, and any outsider who interferes shall be put to death.
52 The Israelites shall make their camps troop by troop, each man with his section and each under his standard. 53 But the Levites shall always camp around the Tabernacle of the Pact, so that wrath may not strike against the community; the Levites shall stand guard over the Tabernacle of the Pact.
54 And the Israelites did all these things, just as the Lord had commanded Moses, so they did.
