第一次人口普查

以色列人出埃及地後第二年二月初一,耶和華在西奈曠野,在會幕中吩咐摩西說: 「你要按宗族、父家、人名的數目計算以色列全會眾,數點所有的男丁。 以色列中凡二十歲以上能出去打仗的,你和亞倫要按照他們的隊伍數點。 每支派要有一個人,就是父家的家長跟你們一起。 這是幫助你們的人的名字:

呂便的,示丟珥的兒子以利蓿

西緬的,蘇利沙代的兒子示路蔑

猶大的,亞米拿達的兒子拿順

以薩迦的,蘇押的兒子拿坦業

西布倫的,希倫的兒子以利押

10 約瑟子孫、屬以法蓮的,亞米忽的兒子以利沙瑪;屬瑪拿西的,比大蓿的兒子迦瑪列

11 便雅憫的,基多尼的兒子亞比但

12 的,亞米沙代的兒子亞希以謝

13 亞設的,俄蘭的兒子帕結

14 迦得的,丟珥的兒子以利雅薩

15 拿弗他利的,以南的兒子亞希拉。」

16 這些是從會眾中選出來的父系支派的領袖,是以色列部隊的官長。

17 於是,摩西亞倫帶着這些按名指定的人, 18 在二月初一召集全會眾。會眾就照他們的宗族、父家、人名的數目,登記二十歲以上的人口。 19 耶和華怎樣吩咐摩西,他就照樣在西奈的曠野數點他們。

20 以色列的長子,呂便子孫的後代,照着宗族、父家、人名的數目,他們的人口凡二十歲以上能出去打仗的男丁, 21 呂便支派被數的共有四萬六千五百名。

22 西緬子孫的後代,照着宗族、父家、被數[a]人名的數目,他們的人口凡二十歲以上能出去打仗的男丁, 23 西緬支派被數的共有五萬九千三百名。

24 迦得子孫的後代,照着宗族、父家、人名的數目,凡二十歲以上能出去打仗的, 25 迦得支派被數的共有四萬五千六百五十名。

26 猶大子孫的後代,照着宗族、父家、人名的數目,凡二十歲以上能出去打仗的, 27 猶大支派被數的共有七萬四千六百名。

28 以薩迦子孫的後代,照着宗族、父家、人名的數目,凡二十歲以上能出去打仗的, 29 以薩迦支派被數的共有五萬四千四百名。

30 西布倫子孫的後代,照着宗族、父家、人名的數目,凡二十歲以上能出去打仗的, 31 西布倫支派被數的共有五萬七千四百名。

32 約瑟子孫屬以法蓮子孫的後代,照着宗族、父家、人名的數目,凡二十歲以上能出去打仗的, 33 以法蓮支派被數的共有四萬零五百名。

34 瑪拿西子孫的後代,照着宗族、父家、人名的數目,凡二十歲以上能出去打仗的, 35 瑪拿西支派被數的共有三萬二千二百名。

36 便雅憫子孫的後代,照着宗族、父家、人名的數目,凡二十歲以上能出去打仗的, 37 便雅憫支派被數的共有三萬五千四百名。

38 子孫的後代,照着宗族、父家、人名的數目,凡二十歲以上能出去打仗的, 39 支派被數的共有六萬二千七百名。

40 亞設子孫的後代,照着宗族、父家、人名的數目,凡二十歲以上能出去打仗的, 41 亞設支派被數的共有四萬一千五百名。

42 拿弗他利子孫的後代,照着宗族、父家、人名的數目,凡二十歲以上能出去打仗的, 43 拿弗他利支派被數的共有五萬三千四百名。

44 這些就是被數點的,是摩西亞倫以色列十二個領袖所數點的;每一個領袖代表他們的父家。 45 以色列人被數點的總數,以色列中照着父家,凡二十歲以上能出去打仗的, 46 他們被數點的總數是六十萬三千五百五十名。

47 利未人卻沒有按照父系支派數在其中。 48 耶和華吩咐摩西說: 49 「惟獨利未支派你不可數點,也不可在以色列人中計算他們的人口。 50 你要派利未人管理法櫃的帳幕和其中一切的器具,以及屬帳幕的一切。他們要抬帳幕和其中一切的器具,並要辦理帳幕的事務,在帳幕的四圍安營。 51 帳幕將往前行的時候,利未人要拆卸;將駐紮的時候,利未人要支搭帳幕。近前來的外人必被處死。 52 以色列人要按照各自的隊伍安營,各歸本營,各歸本旗。 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;利未人要負責看守法櫃的帳幕。」 54 以色列人就這樣做了。凡耶和華所吩咐摩西的,他們都照樣做了。

A Census of Israel's Warriors

The Lord spoke to Moses (A)in the wilderness of Sinai, (B)in the tent of meeting, on the first day of the second month, in the second year after they had come out of the land of Egypt, saying, (C)“Take a census of all the congregation of the people of Israel, by clans, (D)by fathers' houses, according to the number of names, every male, head by head. (E)From twenty years old and upward, all in Israel who are able to go to war, you and Aaron shall list them, (F)company by company. And there shall be with you a man from each tribe, each man being the head of the house of his fathers. And these are the names of the men who shall assist you. From Reuben, (G)Elizur the son of Shedeur; from Simeon, (H)Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai; from Judah, (I)Nahshon the son of Amminadab; from Issachar, (J)Nethanel the son of Zuar; from Zebulun, (K)Eliab the son of Helon; 10 from the sons of Joseph, from Ephraim, (L)Elishama the son of Ammihud, and from Manasseh, (M)Gamaliel the son of Pedahzur; 11 from Benjamin, (N)Abidan the son of Gideoni; 12 from Dan, (O)Ahiezer the son of Ammishaddai; 13 from Asher, (P)Pagiel the son of Ochran; 14 from Gad, Eliasaph the son of (Q)Deuel; 15 from Naphtali, (R)Ahira the son of Enan.” 16 These were the ones (S)chosen from the congregation, (T)the chiefs of their ancestral tribes, the heads of the clans of Israel.

17 Moses and Aaron took these men (U)who had been named, 18 and on the first day of the second month, they assembled the whole congregation together, who registered themselves by clans, by fathers' houses, according to the number of names from twenty years old and upward, head by head, 19 as the Lord commanded Moses. So he listed them in the wilderness of Sinai.

20 The people of (V)Reuben, Israel's firstborn, their generations, by their clans, by their fathers' houses, according to the number of names, head by head, every male from twenty years old and upward, all who were able to go to war: 21 those listed of the tribe of Reuben were (W)46,500.

22 Of the people of Simeon, their generations, by their clans, by their fathers' houses, those of them who were listed, according to the number of names, head by head, every male from twenty years old and upward, all who were able to go to war: 23 those listed of the tribe of Simeon were (X)59,300.

24 Of the people of Gad, their generations, by their clans, by their fathers' houses, according to the number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, all who were able to go to war: 25 those listed of the tribe of Gad were (Y)45,650.

26 Of the people of Judah, their generations, by their clans, by their fathers' houses, according to the number of names, from twenty years old and upward, every man able to go to war: 27 those listed of the tribe of Judah were (Z)74,600.

28 Of the people of Issachar, their generations, by their clans, by their fathers' houses, according to the number of names, from twenty years old and upward, every man able to go to war: 29 those listed of the tribe of Issachar were (AA)54,400.

30 Of the people of Zebulun, their generations, by their clans, by their fathers' houses, according to the number of names, from twenty years old and upward, every man able to go to war: 31 those listed of the tribe of Zebulun were (AB)57,400.

32 Of the people of Joseph, namely, of the people of Ephraim, their generations, by their clans, by their fathers' houses, according to the number of names, from twenty years old and upward, every man able to go to war: 33 those listed of the tribe of Ephraim were (AC)40,500.

34 Of the people of Manasseh, their generations, by their clans, by their fathers' houses, according to the number of names, from twenty years old and upward, every man able to go to war: 35 those listed of the tribe of Manasseh were (AD)32,200.

36 Of the people of Benjamin, their generations, by their clans, by their fathers' houses, according to the number of names, from twenty years old and upward, every man able to go to war: 37 those listed of the tribe of Benjamin were (AE)35,400.

38 Of the people of Dan, their generations, by their clans, by their fathers' houses, according to the number of names, from twenty years old and upward, every man able to go to war: 39 those listed of the tribe of Dan were (AF)62,700.

40 Of the people of Asher, their generations, by their clans, by their fathers' houses, according to the number of names, from twenty years old and upward, every man able to go to war: 41 those listed of the tribe of Asher were (AG)41,500.

42 Of the people of Naphtali, their generations, by their clans, by their fathers' houses, according to the number of names, from twenty years old and upward, every man able to go to war: 43 those listed of the tribe of Naphtali were (AH)53,400.

44 (AI)These are those who were listed, whom Moses and Aaron listed with the help of the chiefs of Israel, twelve men, each representing his fathers' house. 45 So all those listed of the people of Israel, by their fathers' houses, from twenty years old and upward, every man able to go to war in Israel— 46 all those listed were (AJ)603,550.

Levites Exempted

47 But (AK)the Levites were not listed along with them by their ancestral tribe. 48 For the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 49 “Only the tribe of Levi you shall not list, and you shall not take a census of them among the people of Israel. 50 (AL)But appoint the Levites over the tabernacle of the testimony, and over all its furnishings, and over all that belongs to it. They are to carry the tabernacle and all its furnishings, and they shall take care of it (AM)and shall camp around the tabernacle. 51 (AN)When the tabernacle is to set out, the Levites shall take it down, and when the tabernacle is to be pitched, the Levites shall set it up. (AO)And if any outsider comes near, he shall be put to death. 52 The people of Israel shall pitch their tents by their companies, each man in his own camp and (AP)each man by his own standard. 53 But the Levites shall camp around the tabernacle of the testimony, so that there may be no (AQ)wrath on the congregation of the people of Israel. (AR)And the Levites shall keep guard over the tabernacle of the testimony.” 54 Thus did the people of Israel; they did according to all that the Lord commanded Moses.
