Leviticus 27:14 - Numbers 1:54
New King James Version
14 ‘And when a man [a]dedicates his house to be holy to the Lord, then the priest shall set a value for it, whether it is good or bad; as the priest values it, so it shall stand. 15 If he who dedicated it wants to [b]redeem his house, then he must add one-fifth of the money of your valuation to it, and it shall be his.
16 ‘If a man [c]dedicates to the Lord part of a field of his possession, then your valuation shall be according to the seed for it. A homer of barley seed shall be valued at fifty shekels of silver. 17 If he dedicates his field from the Year of Jubilee, according to your valuation it shall stand. 18 But if he dedicates his field after the Jubilee, then the priest shall (A)reckon to him the money due according to the years that remain till the Year of Jubilee, and it shall be deducted from your valuation. 19 And if he who dedicates the field ever wishes to redeem it, then he must add one-fifth of the money of your valuation to it, and it shall belong to him. 20 But if he does not want to redeem the field, or if he has sold the field to another man, it shall not be redeemed anymore; 21 but the field, (B)when it is released in the Jubilee, shall be holy to the Lord, as a (C)devoted field; it shall be (D)the possession of the priest.
22 ‘And if a man dedicates to the Lord a field which he has bought, which is not the field of (E)his possession, 23 then the priest shall reckon to him the worth of your valuation, up to the Year of Jubilee, and he shall give your valuation on that day as a holy offering to the Lord. 24 (F)In the Year of Jubilee the field shall return to him from whom it was bought, to the one who owned the land as a possession. 25 And all your valuations shall be according to the shekel of the sanctuary: (G)twenty gerahs to the shekel.
26 ‘But the (H)firstborn of the animals, which should be the Lord’s firstborn, no man shall dedicate; whether it is an ox or sheep, it is the Lord’s. 27 And if it is an unclean animal, then he shall redeem it according to your valuation, and (I)shall add one-fifth to it; or if it is not redeemed, then it shall be sold according to your valuation.
28 (J)‘Nevertheless no [d]devoted offering that a man may devote to the Lord of all that he has, both man and beast, or the field of his possession, shall be sold or redeemed; every devoted offering is most holy to the Lord. 29 (K)No person under the ban, who may become doomed to destruction among men, shall be redeemed, but shall surely be put to death. 30 And (L)all the tithe of the land, whether of the seed of the land or of the fruit of the tree, is the Lord’s. It is holy to the Lord. 31 (M)If a man wants at all to redeem any of his tithes, he shall add one-fifth to it. 32 And concerning the tithe of the herd or the flock, of whatever (N)passes under the rod, the tenth one shall be holy to the Lord. 33 He shall not inquire whether it is good or bad, (O)nor shall he exchange it; and if he exchanges it at all, then both it and the one exchanged for it shall be holy; it shall not be redeemed.’ ”
34 (P)These are the commandments which the Lord commanded Moses for the children of Israel on Mount (Q)Sinai.
The First Census of Israel(R)
1 Now the Lord spoke to Moses (S)in the Wilderness of Sinai, (T)in the tabernacle of meeting, on the (U)first day of the second month, in the second year after they had come out of the land of Egypt, saying: 2 (V)“Take a census of all the congregation of the children of Israel, by their families, by their fathers’ houses, according to the number of names, every male (W)individually, 3 from (X)twenty years old and above—all who are able to go to war in Israel. You and Aaron shall number them by their armies. 4 And with you there shall be a man from every tribe, each one the head of his father’s house.
5 “These are the names of the men who shall stand with you: from Reuben, Elizur the son of Shedeur; 6 from Simeon, Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai; 7 from Judah, Nahshon the son of Amminadab; 8 from Issachar, Nethanel the son of Zuar; 9 from Zebulun, Eliab the son of Helon; 10 from the sons of Joseph: from Ephraim, Elishama the son of Ammihud; from Manasseh, Gamaliel the son of Pedahzur; 11 from Benjamin, Abidan the son of Gideoni; 12 from Dan, Ahiezer the son of Ammishaddai; 13 from Asher, Pagiel the son of Ocran; 14 from Gad, Eliasaph the son of (Y)Deuel;[e] 15 from Naphtali, Ahira the son of Enan.” 16 (Z)These were (AA)chosen[f] from the congregation, leaders of their fathers’ tribes, (AB)heads of the divisions in Israel.
17 Then Moses and Aaron took these men who had been [g]mentioned (AC)by name, 18 and they assembled all the congregation together on the first day of the second month; and they recited their (AD)ancestry by families, by their fathers’ houses, according to the number of names, from twenty years old and above, each one individually. 19 As the Lord commanded Moses, so he numbered them in the Wilderness of Sinai.
20 Now the (AE)children of Reuben, Israel’s oldest son, their genealogies by their families, by their fathers’ house, according to the number of names, every male individually, from twenty years old and above, all who were able to go to war: 21 those who were numbered of the tribe of Reuben were forty-six thousand five hundred.
22 From the (AF)children of Simeon, their genealogies by their families, by their fathers’ house, of those who were numbered, according to the number of names, every male individually, from twenty years old and above, all who were able to go to war: 23 those who were numbered of the tribe of Simeon were fifty-nine thousand three hundred.
24 From the (AG)children of Gad, their genealogies by their families, by their fathers’ house, according to the number of names, from twenty years old and above, all who were able to go to war: 25 those who were numbered of the tribe of Gad were forty-five thousand six hundred and fifty.
26 From the (AH)children of Judah, their genealogies by their families, by their fathers’ house, according to the number of names, from twenty years old and above, all who were able to go to war: 27 those who were numbered of the tribe of Judah were (AI)seventy-four thousand six hundred.
28 From the (AJ)children of Issachar, their genealogies by their families, by their fathers’ house, according to the number of names, from twenty years old and above, all who were able to go to war: 29 those who were numbered of the tribe of Issachar were fifty-four thousand four hundred.
30 From the (AK)children of Zebulun, their genealogies by their families, by their fathers’ house, according to the number of names, from twenty years old and above, all who were able to go to war: 31 those who were numbered of the tribe of Zebulun were fifty-seven thousand four hundred.
32 From the sons of Joseph, the (AL)children of Ephraim, their genealogies by their families, by their fathers’ house, according to the number of names, from twenty years old and above, all who were able to go to war: 33 those who were numbered of the tribe of Ephraim were forty thousand five hundred.
34 From the (AM)children of Manasseh, their genealogies by their families, by their fathers’ house, according to the number of names, from twenty years old and above, all who were able to go to war: 35 those who were numbered of the tribe of Manasseh were thirty-two thousand two hundred.
36 From the (AN)children of Benjamin, their genealogies by their families, by their fathers’ house, according to the number of names, from twenty years old and above, all who were able to go to war: 37 those who were numbered of the tribe of Benjamin were thirty-five thousand four hundred.
38 From the (AO)children of Dan, their genealogies by their families, by their fathers’ house, according to the number of names, from twenty years old and above, all who were able to go to war: 39 those who were numbered of the tribe of Dan were sixty-two thousand seven hundred.
40 From the (AP)children of Asher, their genealogies by their families, by their fathers’ house, according to the number of names, from twenty years old and above, all who were able to go to war: 41 those who were numbered of the tribe of Asher were forty-one thousand five hundred.
42 From the children of Naphtali, their genealogies by their families, by their fathers’ house, according to the number of names, from twenty years old and above, all who were able to go to war: 43 those who were numbered of the tribe of Naphtali were fifty-three thousand four hundred.
44 (AQ)These are the ones who were numbered, whom Moses and Aaron numbered, with the leaders of Israel, twelve men, each one representing his father’s house. 45 So all who were numbered of the children of Israel, by their fathers’ houses, from twenty years old and above, all who were able to go to war in Israel— 46 all who were numbered were (AR)six hundred and three thousand five hundred and fifty.
47 But (AS)the Levites were not numbered among them by their fathers’ tribe; 48 for the Lord had spoken to Moses, saying: 49 (AT)“Only the tribe of Levi you shall not number, nor take a census of them among the children of Israel; 50 (AU)but you shall appoint the Levites over the tabernacle of the Testimony, over all its furnishings, and over all things that belong to it; they shall carry the tabernacle and all its furnishings; they shall attend to it (AV)and camp around the tabernacle. 51 (AW)And when the tabernacle is to go forward, the Levites shall take it down; and when the tabernacle is to be set up, the Levites shall set it (AX)up. (AY)The outsider who comes near shall be put to death. 52 The children of Israel shall pitch their tents, (AZ)everyone by his own camp, everyone by his own standard, according to their armies; 53 (BA)but the Levites shall camp around the tabernacle of the Testimony, that there may be no (BB)wrath on the congregation of the children of Israel; and the Levites shall (BC)keep[h] charge of the tabernacle of the Testimony.”
54 Thus the children of Israel did; according to all that the Lord commanded Moses, so they did.

Leviticus 27:14 - Numbers 1:54
New International Version
14 “‘If anyone dedicates their house as something holy to the Lord, the priest will judge its quality as good or bad. Whatever value the priest then sets, so it will remain. 15 If the one who dedicates their house wishes to redeem it,(A) they must add a fifth to its value, and the house will again become theirs.
16 “‘If anyone dedicates to the Lord part of their family land, its value is to be set according to the amount of seed required for it—fifty shekels of silver to a homer[a] of barley seed. 17 If they dedicate a field during the Year of Jubilee, the value that has been set remains. 18 But if they dedicate a field after the Jubilee,(B) the priest will determine the value according to the number of years that remain(C) until the next Year of Jubilee, and its set value will be reduced. 19 If the one who dedicates the field wishes to redeem it,(D) they must add a fifth to its value, and the field will again become theirs. 20 If, however, they do not redeem the field, or if they have sold it to someone else, it can never be redeemed. 21 When the field is released in the Jubilee,(E) it will become holy,(F) like a field devoted to the Lord;(G) it will become priestly property.
22 “‘If anyone dedicates to the Lord a field they have bought, which is not part of their family land, 23 the priest will determine its value up to the Year of Jubilee,(H) and the owner must pay its value on that day as something holy to the Lord. 24 In the Year of Jubilee the field will revert to the person from whom it was bought,(I) the one whose land it was. 25 Every value is to be set according to the sanctuary shekel,(J) twenty gerahs(K) to the shekel.
26 “‘No one, however, may dedicate the firstborn of an animal, since the firstborn already belongs to the Lord;(L) whether an ox[b] or a sheep, it is the Lord’s. 27 If it is one of the unclean animals,(M) it may be bought back at its set value, adding a fifth of the value to it. If it is not redeemed, it is to be sold at its set value.
28 “‘But nothing that a person owns and devotes[c](N) to the Lord—whether a human being or an animal or family land—may be sold or redeemed; everything so devoted is most holy(O) to the Lord.
29 “‘No person devoted to destruction[d] may be ransomed; they are to be put to death.(P)
30 “‘A tithe(Q) of everything from the land, whether grain from the soil or fruit from the trees, belongs to the Lord; it is holy(R) to the Lord. 31 Whoever would redeem(S) any of their tithe must add a fifth of the value(T) to it. 32 Every tithe of the herd and flock—every tenth animal that passes under the shepherd’s rod(U)—will be holy to the Lord. 33 No one may pick out the good from the bad or make any substitution.(V) If anyone does make a substitution, both the animal and its substitute become holy and cannot be redeemed.(W)’”
34 These are the commands the Lord gave Moses at Mount Sinai(X) for the Israelites.(Y)
The Census
1 The Lord spoke to Moses in the tent of meeting(Z) in the Desert of Sinai(AA) on the first day of the second month(AB) of the second year after the Israelites came out of Egypt.(AC) He said: 2 “Take a census(AD) of the whole Israelite community by their clans and families,(AE) listing every man by name,(AF) one by one. 3 You and Aaron(AG) are to count according to their divisions all the men in Israel who are twenty years old or more(AH) and able to serve in the army.(AI) 4 One man from each tribe,(AJ) each of them the head of his family,(AK) is to help you.(AL) 5 These are the names(AM) of the men who are to assist you:
from Reuben,(AN) Elizur son of Shedeur;(AO)
6 from Simeon,(AP) Shelumiel son of Zurishaddai;(AQ)
7 from Judah,(AR) Nahshon son of Amminadab;(AS)
8 from Issachar,(AT) Nethanel son of Zuar;(AU)
9 from Zebulun,(AV) Eliab son of Helon;(AW)
10 from the sons of Joseph:
from Ephraim,(AX) Elishama son of Ammihud;(AY)
from Manasseh,(AZ) Gamaliel son of Pedahzur;(BA)
11 from Benjamin,(BB) Abidan son of Gideoni;(BC)
12 from Dan,(BD) Ahiezer son of Ammishaddai;(BE)
13 from Asher,(BF) Pagiel son of Okran;(BG)
16 These were the men appointed from the community, the leaders(BL) of their ancestral tribes.(BM) They were the heads of the clans of Israel.(BN)
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.(BO) The people registered their ancestry(BP) by their clans and families,(BQ) and the men twenty years old or more(BR) were listed by name, one by one, 19 as the Lord commanded Moses. And so he counted(BS) them in the Desert of Sinai:
20 From the descendants of Reuben(BT) the firstborn son(BU) 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(BV) was 46,500.
22 From the descendants of Simeon:(BW)
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.(BX)
24 From the descendants of Gad:(BY)
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(BZ) was 45,650.
26 From the descendants of Judah:(CA)
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(CB) was 74,600.
28 From the descendants of Issachar:(CC)
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(CD) was 54,400.(CE)
30 From the descendants of Zebulun:(CF)
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.(CG)
32 From the sons of Joseph:(CH)
From the descendants of Ephraim:(CI)
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(CJ) was 40,500.
34 From the descendants of Manasseh:(CK)
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:(CL)
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(CM) was 35,400.
38 From the descendants of Dan:(CN)
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.(CO)
40 From the descendants of Asher:(CP)
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(CQ) was 41,500.
42 From the descendants of Naphtali:(CR)
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(CS) was 53,400.(CT)
44 These were the men counted by Moses and Aaron(CU) and the twelve leaders of Israel, each one representing his family. 45 All the Israelites twenty years old or more(CV) who were able to serve in Israel’s army were counted according to their families.(CW) 46 The total number was 603,550.(CX)
47 The ancestral tribe of the Levites,(CY) however, was not counted(CZ) 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(DA) of the covenant law(DB)—over all its furnishings(DC) 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(DD) is to move,(DE) the Levites are to take it down, and whenever the tabernacle is to be set up, the Levites shall do it.(DF) Anyone else who approaches it is to be put to death.(DG) 52 The Israelites are to set up their tents by divisions, each of them in their own camp under their standard.(DH) 53 The Levites, however, are to set up their tents around the tabernacle(DI) of the covenant law so that my wrath will not fall(DJ) on the Israelite community. The Levites are to be responsible for the care of the tabernacle of the covenant law.(DK)”
54 The Israelites did all this just as the Lord commanded Moses.
