De telling
1 Op de eerste dag van de tweede maand in het tweede jaar na de uittocht uit Egypte, terwijl Mozes zich bevond in de tabernakel in het kamp van Israël in de woestijn op het schiereiland Sinaï, gaf de Here hem de volgende opdracht:
2-15 ‘Houd een telling onder de mannen van twintig jaar en ouder die geschikt zijn om in het leger van Israël te vechten, ingedeeld naar hun stammen en families. U en Aäron hebben de leiding van de telling en één man uit elke stam zal u assisteren: voor de stam Ruben: Elisur, zoon van Sedeür. Voor de stam Simeon: Selumiël, zoon van Surisaddai. Voor de stam Juda: Nachson, zoon van Amminadab. Voor de stam Issachar: Netanel, zoon van Suar. Voor de stam Zebulon: Eliab, zoon van Chelon. Voor de stam Efraïm, zoon van Jozef: Elisama, zoon van Ammihud. Voor de stam Manasse, zoon van Jozef: Gamliël, zoon van Pedasur. Voor de stam Benjamin: Abidan, zoon van Gidoni. Voor de stam Dan: Achiëzer, zoon van Ammisaddai. Voor de stam Aser: Pagiël, zoon van Ochran. Voor de stam Gad: Eljasaf, zoon van Deüel. Voor de stam Naftali: Achira, zoon van Enan.’
16 Dit zijn de leiders van de stammen die uit het volk werden gekozen. 17-19 Diezelfde dag nog riepen Mozes, Aäron en de bovengenoemde leiders alle mannen van twintig jaar en ouder bijeen om zich te laten tellen. De mannen stelden zich op volgens stam en familie, zoals de Here Mozes had opgedragen, en hij telde hen.
20-46 Hier volgt het resultaat van de telling: de stam Ruben: 46.500; de stam Simeon: 59.300; de stam Gad: 45.650; de stam Juda: 74.600; de stam Issachar: 54.400; de stam Zebulon: 57.400; de stam Efraïm (zoon van Jozef): 40.500; de stam Manasse (zoon van Jozef): 32.200; de stam Benjamin: 35.400; de stam Dan: 62.700; de stam Aser: 41.500; de stam Naftali: 53.400; totaal: 603.550.
47-49 Bij dit totaal zijn de Levieten niet inbegrepen, want de Here had tegen Mozes gezegd: ‘Houd de stam Levi apart en tel hun aantal niet, 50 want zij zijn aangewezen voor het werk in de tabernakel en zorgen ook voor de verplaatsing ervan. Zij moeten dicht bij de tabernakel wonen 51 en als hij moet worden verplaatst, moeten de Levieten hem afbreken en weer opbouwen. Iemand anders die de tabernakel aanraakt, moet ter dood worden gebracht.
52 Elke stam van Israël zal een eigen plaats in het kamp hebben met een eigen banier. 53 De tenten van de Levieten zullen rondom de tabernakel worden gegroepeerd als een muur tussen het volk Israël en Gods grote toorn, om hen te beschermen tegen zijn vreselijke toorn over hun zonden.’ 54 Zo werden de opdrachten die de Here Mozes had gegeven, uitgevoerd.

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)

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.
