Censo de Israel en el Sinaí
1 El día primero del segundo mes del segundo año, cuando hacía poco más de un año que los israelitas habían salido de Egipto, el Señor se dirigió a Moisés en el desierto de Sinaí, en la tienda del encuentro con Dios, y le dijo:
2 «Hagan un censo de todos los israelitas, por clanes y familias, para saber el nombre y número exacto de todos los hombres 3 de veinte años para arriba, aptos para la guerra. Regístrenlos según el orden militar, con la ayuda de Aarón 4 y de un jefe de familia por cada tribu. 5 Éstos son los nombres de los jefes que deberán ayudarles:
»Por la tribu de Rubén: Elisur, hijo de Sedeúr.
6 »Por la de Simeón: Selumiel, hijo de Surisadai.
7 »Por la de Judá: Nahasón, hijo de Aminadab.
8 »Por la de Isacar: Natanael, hijo de Suar.
9 »Por la de Zabulón: Eliab, hijo de Helón.
10 »Por las tribus de los hijos de José: Elisamá, hijo de Amihud, por la de Efraín; y Gamaliel, hijo de Pedasur, por la de Manasés.
11 »Por la tribu de Benjamín: Abidán, hijo de Guidoní.
12 »Por la de Dan: Ahiézer, hijo de Amisadai.
13 »Por la de Aser: Paguiel, hijo de Ocrán.
14 »Por la de Gad: Eliasaf, hijo de Reuel.
15 »Por la de Neftalí: Ahirá, hijo de Enán.»
16 Éstos fueron los jefes de tribu escogidos de entre la comunidad israelita para representar a sus propios clanes. 17-18 El día primero del segundo mes del año, Moisés y Aarón reunieron a estos hombres expresamente designados por Dios, lo mismo que a todo el pueblo, e hicieron el censo de todos los israelitas, anotando en orden de clanes y familias el nombre de cada uno de ellos y el número total de hombres de veinte años para arriba, 19 tal como el Señor se lo había ordenado a Moisés. Este censo se hizo en el desierto de Sinaí.
20-21 Una vez hecho el censo por tribus, clanes y familias, y anotados ya el nombre de cada uno y el número total de hombres mayores de veinte años, el resultado fue el siguiente:
De la tribu de Rubén, el hijo mayor de Israel, se contaron cuarenta y seis mil quinientos hombres aptos para la guerra.
22-23 De la tribu de Simeón se contaron cincuenta y nueve mil trescientos.
24-25 De la tribu de Gad se contaron cuarenta y cinco mil seiscientos cincuenta.
26-27 De la tribu de Judá se contaron setenta y cuatro mil seiscientos.
28-29 De la tribu de Isacar se contaron cincuenta y cuatro mil cuatrocientos.
30-31 De la tribu de Zabulón se contaron cincuenta y siete mil cuatrocientos.
32-35 De los descendientes de José se contaron cuarenta mil quinientos de la tribu de Efraín y treinta y dos mil doscientos de la tribu de Manasés.
36-37 De la tribu de Benjamín se contaron treinta y cinco mil cuatrocientos.
38-39 De la tribu de Dan se contaron sesenta y dos mil setecientos.
40-41 De la tribu de Aser se contaron cuarenta y un mil quinientos.
42-43 De la tribu de Neftalí se contaron cincuenta y tres mil cuatrocientos.
44 Éste fue el resultado del censo que hicieron Moisés, Aarón y los doce jefes israelitas que representaban a sus respectivas tribus y familias: 45 los israelitas de veinte años para arriba, aptos para la guerra, 46 fueron seiscientos tres mil quinientos cincuenta en total.
Nombramiento de los levitas
47 Los levitas no fueron contados entre las tribus de sus antepasados, 48 porque el Señor le había dicho a Moisés: 49 «Cuando hagas el censo de los israelitas, no cuentes entre ellos a la tribu de Leví. 50 A los levitas deberás ponerlos a cargo del servicio del santuario de la alianza, de todos sus utensilios y de todo lo que corresponde al santuario. Ellos se ocuparán de transportar el santuario y sus utensilios, y de todo lo relacionado con su servicio. También deberán acampar alrededor del santuario, 51 y cuando haya que transportarlo, ellos serán quienes lo desarmen y quienes lo instalen de nuevo cuando tengan que acampar. Toda persona ajena que se acerque al santuario, será condenada a muerte. 52 Los demás israelitas acamparán a la manera militar, cada uno en su propio campamento y bajo su propia bandera. 53 Los levitas, por su parte, acamparán alrededor del santuario de la alianza, y cuidarán de él, para que el Señor no se enoje contra los israelitas.»
54 Los israelitas lo hicieron todo tal como el Señor se lo había ordenado a Moisés.

The Census
1 The Lord spoke to Moses in the tent of meeting(A) in the Desert of Sinai(B) on the first day of the second month(C) of the second year after the Israelites came out of Egypt.(D) He said: 2 “Take a census(E) of the whole Israelite community by their clans and families,(F) listing every man by name,(G) one by one. 3 You and Aaron(H) are to count according to their divisions all the men in Israel who are twenty years old or more(I) and able to serve in the army.(J) 4 One man from each tribe,(K) each of them the head of his family,(L) is to help you.(M) 5 These are the names(N) of the men who are to assist you:
from Reuben,(O) Elizur son of Shedeur;(P)
6 from Simeon,(Q) Shelumiel son of Zurishaddai;(R)
7 from Judah,(S) Nahshon son of Amminadab;(T)
8 from Issachar,(U) Nethanel son of Zuar;(V)
9 from Zebulun,(W) Eliab son of Helon;(X)
10 from the sons of Joseph:
from Ephraim,(Y) Elishama son of Ammihud;(Z)
from Manasseh,(AA) Gamaliel son of Pedahzur;(AB)
11 from Benjamin,(AC) Abidan son of Gideoni;(AD)
12 from Dan,(AE) Ahiezer son of Ammishaddai;(AF)
13 from Asher,(AG) Pagiel son of Okran;(AH)
16 These were the men appointed from the community, the leaders(AM) of their ancestral tribes.(AN) They were the heads of the clans of Israel.(AO)
17 Moses and Aaron took these men whose names had been specified, 18 and they called the whole community together on the first day of the second month.(AP) The people registered their ancestry(AQ) by their clans and families,(AR) and the men twenty years old or more(AS) were listed by name, one by one, 19 as the Lord commanded Moses. And so he counted(AT) them in the Desert of Sinai:
20 From the descendants of Reuben(AU) the firstborn son(AV) of Israel:
All the men twenty years old or more who were able to serve in the army were listed by name, one by one, according to the records of their clans and families. 21 The number from the tribe of Reuben(AW) was 46,500.
22 From the descendants of Simeon:(AX)
All the men twenty years old or more who were able to serve in the army were counted and listed by name, one by one, according to the records of their clans and families. 23 The number from the tribe of Simeon was 59,300.(AY)
24 From the descendants of Gad:(AZ)
All the men twenty years old or more who were able to serve in the army were listed by name, according to the records of their clans and families. 25 The number from the tribe of Gad(BA) was 45,650.
26 From the descendants of Judah:(BB)
All the men twenty years old or more who were able to serve in the army were listed by name, according to the records of their clans and families. 27 The number from the tribe of Judah(BC) was 74,600.
28 From the descendants of Issachar:(BD)
All the men twenty years old or more who were able to serve in the army were listed by name, according to the records of their clans and families. 29 The number from the tribe of Issachar(BE) was 54,400.(BF)
30 From the descendants of Zebulun:(BG)
All the men twenty years old or more who were able to serve in the army were listed by name, according to the records of their clans and families. 31 The number from the tribe of Zebulun was 57,400.(BH)
32 From the sons of Joseph:(BI)
From the descendants of Ephraim:(BJ)
All the men twenty years old or more who were able to serve in the army were listed by name, according to the records of their clans and families. 33 The number from the tribe of Ephraim(BK) was 40,500.
34 From the descendants of Manasseh:(BL)
All the men twenty years old or more who were able to serve in the army were listed by name, according to the records of their clans and families. 35 The number from the tribe of Manasseh was 32,200.
36 From the descendants of Benjamin:(BM)
All the men twenty years old or more who were able to serve in the army were listed by name, according to the records of their clans and families. 37 The number from the tribe of Benjamin(BN) was 35,400.
38 From the descendants of Dan:(BO)
All the men twenty years old or more who were able to serve in the army were listed by name, according to the records of their clans and families. 39 The number from the tribe of Dan was 62,700.(BP)
40 From the descendants of Asher:(BQ)
All the men twenty years old or more who were able to serve in the army were listed by name, according to the records of their clans and families. 41 The number from the tribe of Asher(BR) was 41,500.
42 From the descendants of Naphtali:(BS)
All the men twenty years old or more who were able to serve in the army were listed by name, according to the records of their clans and families. 43 The number from the tribe of Naphtali(BT) was 53,400.(BU)
44 These were the men counted by Moses and Aaron(BV) and the twelve leaders of Israel, each one representing his family. 45 All the Israelites twenty years old or more(BW) who were able to serve in Israel’s army were counted according to their families.(BX) 46 The total number was 603,550.(BY)
47 The ancestral tribe of the Levites,(BZ) however, was not counted(CA) along with the others. 48 The Lord had said to Moses: 49 “You must not count the tribe of Levi or include them in the census of the other Israelites. 50 Instead, appoint the Levites to be in charge of the tabernacle(CB) of the covenant law(CC)—over all its furnishings(CD) and everything belonging to it. They are to carry the tabernacle and all its furnishings; they are to take care of it and encamp around it. 51 Whenever the tabernacle(CE) is to move,(CF) the Levites are to take it down, and whenever the tabernacle is to be set up, the Levites shall do it.(CG) Anyone else who approaches it is to be put to death.(CH) 52 The Israelites are to set up their tents by divisions, each of them in their own camp under their standard.(CI) 53 The Levites, however, are to set up their tents around the tabernacle(CJ) of the covenant law so that my wrath will not fall(CK) on the Israelite community. The Levites are to be responsible for the care of the tabernacle of the covenant law.(CL)”
54 The Israelites did all this just as the Lord commanded Moses.
