以色列的第一次人口统计

以色列人离开埃及后第二年的二月一日,耶和华在西奈旷野的会幕中对摩西说: “你要按以色列人的宗族和家系统计人口,登记所有男子的姓名。 你和亚伦要一队一队地统计以色列人中二十岁以上、有作战能力的男子。 每一支派要有一个人来协助你们。他们都是各宗族的族长, 名单如下。

“吕便支派示丢珥的儿子以利苏、 西缅支派苏利沙代的儿子示路蔑、 犹大支派亚米拿达的儿子拿顺、 以萨迦支派苏押的儿子拿坦业、 西布伦支派希伦的儿子以利押、 10 约瑟的后裔——以法莲支派亚米忽的儿子以利沙玛和玛拿西支派比大苏的儿子迦玛列、 11 便雅悯支派基多尼的儿子亚比但、 12 但支派亚米沙代的儿子亚希以谢、 13 亚设支派俄兰的儿子帕结、 14 迦得支派丢珥的儿子以利雅萨、 15 拿弗他利支派以南的儿子亚希拉。”

16 他们都是从会众中选出来的,是各支派的首领,也是以色列的将领。

17 摩西和亚伦在这些族长的帮助下, 18 在二月一日招聚全体会众,按照宗族和家系统计人口,登记所有二十岁以上的男子。 19 摩西照耶和华的吩咐在西奈旷野统计人口。

20-21 以色列的长子吕便支派中,二十岁以上、有作战能力的男子按宗族、家系和姓名一一被登记下来,共有四万六千五百人。

22-23 西缅支派中,二十岁以上、有作战能力的男子按宗族、家系和姓名一一被登记下来,共有五万九千三百人。

24-25 迦得支派中,二十岁以上、有作战能力的男子按宗族、家系和姓名一一被登记下来,共有四万五千六百五十人。

26-27 犹大支派中,二十岁以上、有作战能力的男子按宗族、家系和姓名一一被登记下来,共有七万四千六百人。

28-29 以萨迦支派中,二十岁以上、有作战能力的男子按宗族、家系和姓名一一被登记下来,共有五万四千四百人。

30-31 西布伦支派中,二十岁以上、有作战能力的男子按宗族、家系和姓名一一被登记下来,共有五万七千四百人。

32-33 约瑟的后裔中,以法莲支派中,二十岁以上、有作战能力的男子按宗族、家系和姓名一一被登记下来,共有四万零五百人。

34-35 玛拿西支派中,二十岁以上、有作战能力的男子按宗族、家系和姓名一一被登记下来,共有三万二千二百人。

36-37 便雅悯支派中,二十岁以上、有作战能力的男子按宗族、家系和姓名一一被登记下来,共有三万五千四百人。

38-39 但支派中,二十岁以上、有作战能力的男子按宗族、家系和姓名一一被登记下来,共有六万二千七百人。

42-43 拿弗他利支派中,二十岁以上、有作战能力的男子按宗族、家系和姓名一一被登记下来,共有五万三千四百人。

44 以上就是摩西、亚伦和各代表自己家族的十二位以色列首领所统计的男子人数。 45 这样,以色列人中二十岁以上、有作战能力的男子按宗族、家系和姓名一一被登记下来, 46 共有六十万零三千五百五十人。 47 其中不包括利未人, 48 因为耶和华曾经对摩西说: 49 “你不要统计利未支派的人数,不要把他们的人数算在以色列人中。 50 你要派利未人负责搬运和照料放约柜的圣幕及其所有器具,他们要在圣幕四围扎营。 51 在迁移的时候,利未人要负责拆卸和支搭圣幕;其他人若走近圣幕,必被处死。 52 以色列人要按照他们的队伍各自扎营,各归本旗。 53 但利未人要在放约柜的圣幕四周扎营,防止以色列人触怒耶和华。利未人负责看守圣幕。” 54 以色列人就按耶和华对摩西的吩咐行了。

以色列人第一次数点人口

以色列人出埃及地以后,第二年二月一日,耶和华在西奈的旷野,在会幕里对摩西说: “你们要把以色列全体会众,按着他们的宗族、父家,根据人名数目,统计人口;所有男丁,都要按着人口登记。 在以色列中,凡是二十岁及以上,能出去打仗的,你和亚伦要按着他们的队伍数点他们。 每一个支派要有一人帮助你们;他们每一个都是他父家的首领。 以下就是帮助你们的人的名字:属流本支派的,有示丢珥的儿子以利蓿; 属西缅支派的,有苏利沙代的儿子示路蔑; 属犹大支派的,有亚米拿达的儿子拿顺; 属以萨迦支派的,有苏押的儿子拿坦业; 属西布伦支派的,有希伦的儿子以利押; 10 约瑟的子孙中,属以法莲支派的,有亚米忽的儿子以利沙玛;属玛拿西支派的,有比大蓿的儿子迦玛列; 11 属便雅悯支派的,有基多尼的儿子亚比但。 12 属但支派的,有亚米沙代的儿子亚希以谢; 13 属亚设支派的,有俄兰的儿子帕结; 14 属迦得支派的,有丢珥的儿子以利雅萨; 15 属拿弗他利支派的,有以南的儿子亚希拉。 16 这些人是从会众中选出来,都是他们宗族支派的领袖;他们是以色列的族长。” 17 于是,摩西和亚伦带着这些提名指定的人, 18 在二月一日召集了全体会众;他们就照着他们的宗族,按照他们的父家,根据人名数目,二十岁及以上的,都按着人口一一登记了。 19 耶和华怎样吩咐摩西,摩西就怎样在西奈的旷野数点了他们。

20 以色列的长子,流本子孙的后代,照着宗族、父家,根据人名数目,按着人口,二十岁及以上,能出去打仗的男丁,都登记了; 21 流本支派被数点的,共有四万六千五百人。

22 西缅子孙的后代,照着宗族、父家,根据人名数目,按着人口,二十岁及以上,能出去打仗的男丁,都登记了; 23 西缅支派被数点的,共有五万九千三百人。

24 迦得子孙的后代,照着他们的宗族、父家,根据人名数目,二十岁及以上,凡是能出去打仗的,都登记了; 25 迦得支派被数点的,共有四万五千六百五十人。

26 犹大子孙的后代,照着他们的宗族、父家,根据人名数目,二十岁及以上,凡是能出去打仗的,都登记了; 27 犹大支派被数点的,共有七万四千六百人。

28 以萨迦子孙的后代,照着他们的宗族、父家,根据人名数目,二十岁及以上,凡是能出去打仗的,都登记了; 29 以萨迦支派被数点的,共有五万四千四百人。

30 西布伦子孙的后代,照着他们的宗族、父家,根据人名数目,二十岁及以上,凡是能出去打仗的,都登记了; 31 西布伦支派被数点的,共有五万七千四百人。

32 约瑟的儿子,以法莲子孙的后代,照着他们的宗族、父家,根据人名数目,二十岁及以上,凡是能出去打仗的,都登记了; 33 以法莲支派被数点的,共有四万零五百人。

34 玛拿西子孙的后代,照着他们的宗族、父家,根据人名数目,二十岁及以上,凡是能出去打仗的,都登记了; 35 玛拿西支派被数点的,共有三万二千二百人。

36 便雅悯子孙的后代,照着他们的宗族、父家,根据人名数目,二十岁及以上,凡是能出去打仗的,都登记了; 37 便雅悯支派被数点的,共有三万五千四百人。

38 但子孙的后代,照着他们的宗族、父家,根据人名数目,二十岁及以上,凡是能出去打仗的,都登记了; 39 但支派被数点的,共有六万二千七百人。

40 亚设子孙的后代,照着宗族、父家,根据人名数目,二十岁及以上,凡是能出去打仗的,都登记了; 41 亚设支派被数点的,共有四万一千五百人。

44 以上就是被数点的人数,是摩西和亚伦,以及以色列的首领十二人(每父家一人)所数点的。 45 这样,在以色列中,按着父家,二十岁及以上,凡是能出去打仗的以色列人,都登记了; 46 被数点的,共有六十万零三千五百五十人。

利未人不计算在内

47 只有利未人没有按着他们家族的支派,数点在其中。 48 因为耶和华曾对摩西说: 49 “只有利未支派,你不可数点,也不可把他们的总数列入以色列人中。 50 只要派利未人管理法柜的帐幕,和其中的一切器具,以及一切属于帐幕的事物;他们要抬帐幕和其中的一切器具;他们要办理帐幕的事,在帐幕四周安营。 51 帐幕要起行的时候,利未人要把它拆卸下来;帐幕要支搭的时候,利未人要把它竖立起来;如果有外人走近,必须处死。 52 以色列人安营,要依照他们的队伍,各归本营,各归本旗。 53 但利未人要在法柜帐幕的四周安营,免得 神的忿怒临到以色列的会众;利未人要负看守法柜的帐幕的责任。” 54 以色列人就这样行了,耶和华怎样吩咐摩西,他们就怎样行。

The People of Israel Are Counted

The Lord spoke to Moses in the Meeting Tent. This was in the Desert of Sinai. It was on the first day of the second month. This was in the second year after the people of Israel left Egypt. The Lord said to Moses: “Count all the people of Israel. List the name of each man with his family and family group. You and Aaron must count all the men of Israel 20 years old or older. They will serve in the army of Israel. List them by their divisions. One man from each tribe will help you. He is to be the leader of his family. These are the names of the men who will help you:

from the tribe of Reuben—Elizur son of Shedeur;

from the tribe of Simeon—Shelumiel son of Zurishaddai;

from the tribe of Judah—Nahshon son of Amminadab;

from the tribe of Issachar—Nethanel son of Zuar;

from the tribe of Zebulun—Eliab son of Helon;

10 from the tribe of Ephraim son of Joseph—Elishama son of Ammihud;

13 from the tribe of Asher—Pagiel son of Ocran;

14 from the tribe of Gad—Eliasaph son of Deuel;

15 from the tribe of Naphtali—Ahira son of Enan.”

16 All these men were chosen by the people to be leaders of their tribes. They were the leaders of their family groups.

17 Moses and Aaron took these men who had been picked. 18 And Moses and Aaron called all the people of Israel together. This was the first day of the second month. Then the people were listed by their families and family groups. All the men who were 20 years old or older were listed by name. 19 Moses did exactly what the Lord had commanded. Moses listed the people while they were in the Desert of Sinai.

20 The tribe of Reuben was counted. Reuben was the first son born to Israel. All the men 20 years old or older who were able to serve in the army were listed. They were each listed by name with their families and family groups. 21 The tribe of Reuben totaled 46,500 men.

22 The tribe of Simeon was counted. All the men 20 years old or older who were able to serve in the army were listed. They were each listed by name with their families and family groups. 23 The tribe of Simeon totaled 59,300 men.

24 The tribe of Gad was counted. All the men 20 years old or older who were able to serve in the army were listed. They were listed by name with their families and family groups. 25 The tribe of Gad totaled 45,650 men.

26 The tribe of Judah was counted. All the men 20 years old or older who were able to serve in the army were listed. They were listed by name with their families and family groups. 27 The tribe of Judah totaled 74,600 men.

28 The tribe of Issachar was counted. All the men 20 years old or older who were able to serve in the army were listed. They were listed by name with their families and family groups. 29 The tribe of Issachar totaled 54,400 men.

30 The tribe of Zebulun was counted. All the men 20 years old or older who were able to serve in the army were listed. They were listed by name with their families and family groups. 31 The tribe of Zebulun totaled 57,400 men.

32 The tribe of Ephraim was counted. (Ephraim was a son of Joseph.) All the men 20 years old or older who were able to serve in the army were listed. They were listed by name with their families and family groups. 33 The tribe of Ephraim totaled 40,500 men.

34 The tribe of Manasseh was counted. (Manasseh was also a son of Joseph.) All the men 20 years old or older who were able to serve in the army were listed. They were listed by name with their families and family groups. 35 The tribe of Manasseh totaled 32,200 men.

36 The tribe of Benjamin was counted. All the men 20 years old or older who were able to serve in the army were listed. They were listed by name with their families and family groups. 37 The tribe of Benjamin totaled 35,400 men.

38 The tribe of Dan was counted. All the men 20 years old or older who were able to serve in the army were listed. They were listed by name with their families and family groups. 39 The tribe of Dan totaled 62,700 men.

40 The tribe of Asher was counted. All the men 20 years old or older who were able to serve in the army were listed. They were listed by name with their families and family groups. 41 The tribe of Asher totaled 41,500 men.

42 The tribe of Naphtali was counted. All the men 20 years old or older who were able to serve in the army were listed. They were listed by name with their families and family groups. 43 The tribe of Naphtali totaled 53,400 men.

44 Moses, Aaron and the 12 leaders of Israel counted these men. There was 1 leader from each of the families. 45 Every man of Israel 20 years old or older who was able to serve in the army was counted. Each man was listed with his family. 46 The total number of men was 603,550.

47 The families from the tribe of Levi were not listed with the others. 48 The Lord had told Moses: 49 “Do not count the tribe of Levi or include them with the other Israelites. 50 But make the Levites responsible for the Holy Tent of the Agreement. They must take care of it and everything that is with it. They must carry the Holy Tent and everything in it. They must take care of it and make their camp around it. 51 Any time the Holy Tent is moved, the Levites must take it down. Any time it is set up, the Levites must do it. If anyone else goes near the Holy Tent, he will be put to death. 52 The Israelites will make their camps in separate divisions, each man near his family flag. 53 But the Levites must make their camp around the Holy Tent of the Agreement. Then I will not be angry with the Israelites. The Levites will take care of the Holy Tent of the Agreement.”

54 So the Israelites did everything the Lord commanded Moses.
