Num 1:5–16

1:5–16 The heads of all the tribes, except the Levites (who had been set apart for the service of the tabernacle), are listed here and also in chs. 2; 7; and 10. The two tribes of Ephraim and Manasseh are listed under Joseph (v. 10), preserving the number of twelve tribes without counting the Levites.
