核以色列族能臨陣男丁之總數

以色列人出埃及地後,第二年二月初一日,耶和華在西奈的曠野,會幕中曉諭摩西說: 「你要按以色列全會眾的家室、宗族,人名的數目,計算所有的男丁。 以色列中,從二十歲以外,能出去打仗的,你和亞倫要照他們的軍隊數點。 每支派中,必有一人做本支派的族長,幫助你們。 他們的名字:屬魯本的,有示丟珥的兒子以利蓿 西緬的,有蘇利沙代的兒子示路蔑 猶大的,有亞米拿達的兒子拿順 以薩迦的,有蘇押的兒子拿坦業 西布倫的,有希倫的兒子以利押 10 約瑟子孫屬以法蓮的,有亞米忽的兒子以利沙瑪;屬瑪拿西的,有比大蓿的兒子迦瑪列 11 便雅憫的,有基多尼的兒子亞比但 12 的,有亞米沙代的兒子亞希以謝 13 亞設的,有俄蘭的兒子帕結 14 迦得的,有丟珥的兒子以利雅薩 15 拿弗他利的,有以南的兒子亞希拉 16 這都是從會中選召的,各做本支派的首領,都是以色列軍中的統領。」 17 於是摩西亞倫帶著這些按名指定的人, 18 當二月初一日招聚全會眾。會眾就照他們的家室、宗族,人名的數目,從二十歲以外的,都述說自己的家譜。 19 耶和華怎樣吩咐摩西,他就怎樣在西奈的曠野數點他們。

21 以色列的長子魯本子孫的後代,照著家室、宗族,人名的數目,從二十歲以外,凡能出去打仗,被數的男丁共有四萬六千五百名。

23 西緬子孫的後代,照著家室、宗族,人名的數目,從二十歲以外,凡能出去打仗,被數的男丁共有五萬九千三百名。

25 迦得子孫的後代,照著家室、宗族,人名的數目,從二十歲以外,凡能出去打仗,被數的共有四萬五千六百五十名。

27 猶大子孫的後代,照著家室、宗族,人名的數目,從二十歲以外,凡能出去打仗,被數的共有七萬四千六百名。

29 以薩迦子孫的後代,照著家室、宗族,人名的數目,從二十歲以外,凡能出去打仗,被數的共有五萬四千四百名。

31 西布倫子孫的後代,照著家室、宗族,人名的數目,從二十歲以外,凡能出去打仗,被數的共有五萬七千四百名。

33 約瑟子孫,屬以法蓮子孫的後代,照著家室、宗族,人名的數目,從二十歲以外,凡能出去打仗,被數的共有四萬零五百名。

35 瑪拿西子孫的後代,照著家室、宗族,人名的數目,從二十歲以外,凡能出去打仗,被數的共有三萬二千二百名。

37 便雅憫子孫的後代,照著家室、宗族,人名的數目,從二十歲以外,凡能出去打仗,被數的共有三萬五千四百名。

39 子孫的後代,照著家室、宗族,人名的數目,從二十歲以外,凡能出去打仗,被數的共有六萬二千七百名。

41 亞設子孫的後代,照著家室、宗族,人名的數目,從二十歲以外,凡能出去打仗,被數的共有四萬一千五百名。

43 拿弗他利子孫的後代,照著家室、宗族,人名的數目,從二十歲以外,凡能出去打仗,被數的共有五萬三千四百名。

44 這些就是被數點的,是摩西亞倫以色列中十二個首領所數點的,這十二個人各做各宗族的代表。 46 這樣,凡以色列人中被數的,照著宗族從二十歲以外,能出去打仗,被數的共有六十萬零三千五百五十名。

利未支派不列其數

47 利未人卻沒有按著支派數在其中, 48 因為耶和華曉諭摩西說: 49 「唯獨利未支派你不可數點,也不可在以色列人中計算他們的總數。 50 只要派利未人管法櫃的帳幕和其中的器具,並屬乎帳幕的。他們要抬[a]帳幕和其中的器具,並要辦理帳幕的事,在帳幕的四圍安營。 51 帳幕將往前行的時候,利未人要拆卸;將支搭的時候,利未人要豎起。近前來的外人必被治死。 52 以色列人支搭帳篷,要照他們的軍隊,各歸本營,各歸本纛。 53 利未人要在法櫃帳幕的四圍安營,免得憤怒臨到以色列會眾。利未人並要謹守法櫃的帳幕。」 54 以色列人就這樣行。凡耶和華所吩咐摩西的,他們就照樣行了。

God Commands Moses to Take a Census

Yahweh spoke to Moses in the desert of Sinai, in the tent of assembly, on the first of the month, in the second year after they came out[a] of the land of Egypt, saying, Take a census of[b] the entire community of the Israelites[c] according to their clans and their families,[d] according to the number of names, every male individually from twenty years old[e] and above, everyone in Israel who is able to go to war. You and Aaron must muster them[f] for their wars. A man from each tribe will be with you, each man the head of his family.[g] And these are the names of the men who will assist you:[h] from Reuben, Elizur son of Shedeur; from Simeon, Shelumiel son of Zurishaddai; from Judah, Nahshon son of Amminadab; from Issachar, Nethanel son of Zuar; from Zebulun, Eliab son of Helon. 10 From the descendants of Joseph: from Ephraim, Elishama son of Ammihud; from Manasseh, Gamaliel son of Pedahzur. 11 From Benjamin, Abidan son of Gideoni; 12 from Dan, Ahiezer son of Ammishaddai; 13 from Asher, Pagiel son of Ocran; 14 from Gad, Eliasaph son of Deuel; 15 and from Naphtali, Ahira son of Enan.” 16 These are the ones summoned from the community, the leaders of their ancestors’[i] tribes; they are the heads of Israel’s clans.

17 So Moses and Aaron took these men who had been designated by name, 18 and they summoned the entire community on the first day of the second month. And they registered themselves among their clans according to their families,[j] according to the number of names from those twenty years old[k] and above individually, 19 just as Yahweh commanded Moses. And he counted them in the desert of Sinai.

20 The descendants of Reuben, the firstborn of Israel, their genealogies according to their clans, according to their families,[l] according to the number of names, every male individually from twenty years old[m] and above, everyone who is able to go to war: 21 those who were counted from the tribe of Reuben were forty-six thousand five hundred.

22 From the descendants of Simeon, their genealogies according to their clans, according to their families,[n] those who were counted according to the number of their names, every individual male from twenty years old[o] and above, everyone who is able to go to war: 23 those who were counted from the tribe of Simeon were fifty-nine thousand three hundred.

24 From the descendants of Gad, their genealogies according to their clans, according to their families,[p] according to the number of names, from those twenty years old[q] and above, everyone who is able to go to war: 25 those who were counted from the tribe of Gad were forty-five thousand six hundred and fifty.

26 From the descendants of Judah, their genealogies according to their clans, according to their families,[r] according to the number of names, from those twenty years old[s] and above, everyone who is able to go to war: 27 those who were counted from the tribe of Judah were seventy-four thousand six hundred.

28 From the descendants of Issachar, their genealogies according to their clans, according to their families,[t] according to the number of names, from those twenty years old[u] and above, everyone who is able to go to war: 29 those who were counted from the tribe of Issachar were fifty-four thousand four hundred.

30 From the descendants of Zebulun, their genealogies according to their clans, according to their families,[v] according to the number of names, from those twenty years old[w] and above, everyone who is able to go to war: 31 those who were counted from the tribe of Zebulun were fifty-seven thousand four hundred.

32 From the descendants of Joseph: from the descendants of Ephraim, their genealogies according to their clans, according to their families,[x] according to the number of names, from those twenty years old[y] and above, everyone who is able to go to war: 33 those who were counted from the tribe of Ephraim were forty thousand five hundred.

34 From the descendants of Manasseh, their genealogies according to their clans, according to their families,[z] according to the number of names, from those twenty years old[aa] and above, everyone who is able to go to war: 35 those who were counted from the tribe of Manasseh were thirty-two thousand two hundred.

36 From the descendants of Benjamin, their genealogies according to their clans, according to their families,[ab] according to the number of names, from those twenty years old[ac] and above, everyone who is able to go to war: 37 those who were counted from the tribe of Benjamin were thirty-five thousand four hundred.

38 From the descendants of Dan, their genealogies according to their clans, according to their families,[ad] according to the number of names, from those twenty years old[ae] and above, everyone who is able to go to war: 39 those who were counted from the tribe of Dan were sixty-two thousand seven hundred.

40 From the descendants of Asher, their genealogies according to their clans, according to their families,[af] according to the number of names, from those twenty years old[ag] and above, everyone who is able to go to war: 41 those who were counted from the tribe of Asher were forty-one thousand five hundred.

42 From the descendants of Naphtali, their genealogies according to their clans, according to their families,[ah] according to the number of names, from those twenty years old[ai] and above, everyone who is able to go to war: 43 those who were counted from the tribe of Naphtali were fifty-three thousand four hundred.

44 These are the ones counted whom Moses and Aaron mustered,[aj] with the twelve leaders of Israel, each one from his family.[ak] 45 So all those who were counted from the Israelites[al] according to their families,[am] from those twenty years old[an] and above, everyone in Israel who is able to go to war. 46 All of the ones counted were six hundred and three thousand, five hundred and fifty. 47 The Levites from their ancestors’[ao] tribe were not mustered[ap] in their midst.

48 And Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 49 “You will not muster[aq] the tribe of Levi, and you will not take a census of[ar] them in the midst of the Israelites.[as] 50 You will appoint[at] them over the tabernacle of the testimony,[au] over all its vessels, and over all that belongs to it. They will carry the tabernacle and all its vessels, and they will care for it; and they will camp around the tabernacle. 51 And when the tabernacle is set out, the Levites will take it down,[av] and when encamping the tabernacle the Levites will set it up; the stranger[aw] that approaches it will be put to death. 52 The Israelites[ax] will encamp, each in their own camp, and each by their[ay] own banner according to their divisions. 53 But the Levites will encamp around the tabernacle of the testimony,[az] and there will not be wrath on the community of the Israelites;[ba] and the Levites will keep the requirements of the tabernacle of the testimony.”[bb] 54 And the Israelites[bc] did thus; they did everything that Yahweh commanded Moses.
