以色列的第一次人口统计
1 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： 2 “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。 3 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。 4 每一支派要有一个人来协助你们。他们都是各宗族的族长， 5 名单如下。
“吕便支派示丢珥的儿子以利苏、 6 西缅支派苏利沙代的儿子示路蔑、 7 犹大支派亚米拿达的儿子拿顺、 8 以萨迦支派苏押的儿子拿坦业、 9 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。
40-41 亚设支派中，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，共有四万一千五百人。
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。
Numbers 1
Easy-to-Read Version
Moses Counts the Israelites
1 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 of the second year after the Israelites left Egypt. He said to Moses: 2 “Count all the Israelites. List the name of each man with his family and his family group. 3 You and Aaron must count the men of Israel who are 20 years old or older. (These are all the men who are able to serve in the army of Israel.) List them by their divisions. 4 One man from each tribe will help you. This man will be the leader of his tribe. 5 These are the names of the men who will stand with you and help you:
from the tribe of Reuben—Elizur son of Shedeur;
6 from the tribe of Simeon—Shelumiel son of Zurishaddai;
7 from the tribe of Judah—Nahshon son of Amminadab;
8 from the tribe of Issachar—Nethanel son of Zuar;
9 from the tribe of Zebulun—Eliab son of Helon;
10 from the descendants of Joseph:
from the tribe of Ephraim—Elishama son of Ammihud;
from the tribe of Manasseh—Gamaliel son of Pedahzur;
11 from the tribe of Benjamin—Abidan son of Gideoni;
12 from the tribe of Dan—Ahiezer son of Ammishaddai;
13 from the tribe of Asher—Pagiel son of Ocran;
14 from the tribe of Gad—Eliasaph son of Deuel[a];
15 from the tribe of Naphtali—Ahira son of Enan.”
16 All these men were the leaders of their families. The people also chose them to be leaders of their tribes. 17 Moses and Aaron took the men who had been chosen to be leaders 18 and called all the Israelites together on the first day of the second month. Then the people were listed by their families and their family groups. All the men who were 20 years old or older were listed. 19 Moses did exactly what the Lord commanded—he counted the people while they were in the desert of Sinai.
20 The tribe of Reuben was counted. (Reuben was the firstborn son of Israel.) The names of all the men who were 20 years old or older and able to serve in the army were listed. They were listed with their families and family groups. 21 The total number of men counted from the tribe of Reuben was 46,500.
22 The tribe of Simeon was counted. The names of all the men who were 20 years old or older and able to serve in the army were listed. They were listed with their families and family groups. 23 The total number of men counted from the tribe of Simeon was 59,300.
24 The tribe of Gad was counted. The names of all the men who were 20 years old or older and able to serve in the army were listed. They were listed with their families and family groups. 25 The total number of men counted from the tribe of Gad was 45,650.
26 The tribe of Judah was counted. The names of all the men who were 20 years old or older and able to serve in the army were listed. They were listed with their families and family groups. 27 The total number of men counted from the tribe of Judah was 74,600.
28 The tribe of Issachar was counted. The names of all the men who were 20 years old or older and able to serve in the army were listed. They were listed with their families and family groups. 29 The total number of men counted from the tribe of Issachar was 54,400.
30 The tribe of Zebulun was counted. The names of all the men who were 20 years old or older and able to serve in the army were listed. They were listed with their families and family groups. 31 The total number of men counted from the tribe of Zebulun was 57,400.
32 The tribe of Ephraim was counted. (Ephraim was Joseph’s son.) The names of all the men who were 20 years old or older and able to serve in the army were listed. They were listed with their families and family groups. 33 The total number of men counted from the tribe of Ephraim was 40,500.
34 The tribe of Manasseh was counted. (Manasseh was also Joseph’s son.) The names of all the men who were 20 years old or older and able to serve in the army were listed. They were listed with their families and family groups. 35 The total number of men counted from the tribe of Manasseh was 32,200.
36 The tribe of Benjamin was counted. The names of all the men who were 20 years old or older and able to serve in the army were listed. They were listed with their families and family groups. 37 The total number of men counted from the tribe of Benjamin was 35,400.
38 The tribe of Dan was counted. The names of all the men who were 20 years old or older and able to serve in the army were listed. They were listed with their families and family groups. 39 The total number of men counted from the tribe of Dan was 62,700.
40 The tribe of Asher was counted. The names of all the men who were 20 years old or older and able to serve in the army were listed. They were listed with their families and family groups. 41 The total number of men counted from the tribe of Asher was 41,500.
42 The tribe of Naphtali was counted. The names of all the men who were 20 years old or older and able to serve in the army were listed. They were listed by name with their families and family groups. 43 The total number of men counted from the tribe of Naphtali was 53,400.
44 Moses, Aaron, and the twelve leaders of Israel counted these men. (There was one leader from each tribe.) 45 They counted every man who was 20 years old or older and able to serve in the army. Each man was listed with his family. 46 The total number of men counted was 603,550 men.
47 The families from the tribe of Levi were not counted with the other Israelites. 48 The Lord had told Moses: 49 “Don’t count the men from the tribe of Levi or include them with the other Israelites. 50 Tell the Levites that they are responsible for the Tent of the Agreement. They must take care of that tent and everything that is with it. They must carry the Holy Tent and everything in it. They must make their camp around it and take care of it. 51 Whenever the Holy Tent is moved, the Levites must do it. Whenever the Holy Tent is set up, the Levites must do it. They are the men who will take care of the Holy Tent. Anyone else who tries to take care of the tent must be killed. 52 The Israelites will make their camps in separate divisions. Everyone must camp near their family flag. 53 The Levites will set up their tents so that they surround the Tent of the Agreement. They will serve as guards and keep the people away from the Tent. This will protect the Israelites from the Lord’s anger.”
54 The Lord had given these commandments to Moses. So the Israelites did everything he commanded.
