Censo de Israel
1 En el primer día del segundo mes, en el segundo año de la salida del país de Egipto, el Señor se dirigió a Moisés en el desierto de Sinaí, en la Tienda del encuentro, y le dijo:
2 — Haz un censo completo de la comunidad israelita: registrarás uno por uno los nombres de todos los varones según sus clanes y sus casas patriarcales. 3 Tú y Aarón censarán por escuadrones a todos los varones mayores de veinte años que sean aptos para el servicio militar. 4 Les prestará asistencia un representante de cada tribu, que sea jefe de casa patriarcal.
Asistentes del censo
5 Estos son los nombres de quienes los asistirán: De la tribu de Rubén, Elisur, hijo de Sedeur. 6 De Simeón, Selumiel, hijo de Zurisaday. 7 De Judá, Naasón, hijo de Aminadab. 8 De Isacar, Natanael, hijo de Zuar. 9 De Zabulón, Eliab, hijo de Jelón. 10 De los hijos de José: por Efraín, Elisamá, hijo de Amihud; y por Manasés, Gamaliel, hijo de Pedasur. 11 De Benjamín, Abidán, hijo de Guideoní. 12 De Dan, Ajiezer, hijo de Amisaday. 13 De Aser, Paguiel, hijo de Ocrán. 14 De Gad, Eliasaf, hijo de Deuel. 15 De Neftalí, Ajirá, hijo de Enán. 16 Estos fueron los convocados de entre la comunidad, jefes de sus respectivos clanes patriarcales y comandantes de los escuadrones de Israel.
El recuento
17 Moisés y Aarón convocaron a estos hombres que habían sido designados por sus nombres, 18 reunieron a toda la comunidad el primer día del segundo mes y censaron uno por uno, según sus clanes y sus casas patriarcales, a todos los mayores de veinte años. 19 Tal como el Señor le había mandado a Moisés, así él los censó en el desierto de Sinaí.
20 De los descendientes de Rubén, primogénito de Israel, quedaron registrados uno por uno, según sus clanes y sus casas patriarcales, los nombres de todos los varones mayores de veinte años aptos para el servicio militar; 21 los censados de la tribu de Rubén fueron cuarenta y seis mil quinientos.
22 De los descendientes de Simeón, quedaron registrados uno por uno, según sus clanes y sus casas patriarcales, los nombres de todos los varones mayores de veinte años aptos para el servicio militar; 23 los censados de la tribu de Simeón fueron cincuenta y nueve mil trescientos.
24 De los descendientes de Gad, quedaron registrados uno por uno, según sus clanes y sus casas patriarcales, los nombres de todos los varones mayores de veinte años aptos para el servicio militar; 25 los censados de la tribu de Gad fueron cuarenta y cinco mil seiscientos cincuenta.
26 De los descendientes de Judá, quedaron registrados uno por uno, según sus clanes y sus casas patriarcales, los nombres de todos los varones mayores de veinte años aptos para el servicio militar; 27 los censados de la tribu de Judá fueron setenta y cuatro mil seiscientos.
28 De los descendientes de Isacar, quedaron registrados uno por uno, según sus clanes y sus casas patriarcales, los nombres de todos los varones mayores de veinte años aptos para el servicio militar; 29 los censados de la tribu de Isacar fueron cincuenta y cuatro mil cuatrocientos.
30 De los descendientes de Zabulón, quedaron registrados uno por uno, según sus clanes y sus casas patriarcales, los nombres de todos los varones mayores de veinte años aptos para el servicio militar; 31 los censados de la tribu de Zabulón fueron cincuenta y siete mil cuatrocientos.
32 De los descendientes de José por parte de Efraín, quedaron registrados uno por uno, según sus clanes y sus casas patriarcales, los nombres de todos los varones mayores de veinte años aptos para el servicio militar; 33 los censados de la tribu de Efraín fueron cuarenta mil quinientos.
34 Y de los descendientes de José por parte de Manasés, quedaron registrados uno por uno, según sus clanes y sus casas patriarcales, los nombres de todos los varones mayores de veinte años aptos para el servicio militar; 35 los censados de la tribu de Manasés fueron treinta y dos mil doscientos.
36 De los descendientes de Benjamín, quedaron registrados uno por uno, según sus clanes y sus casas patriarcales, los nombres de todos los varones mayores de veinte años aptos para el servicio militar; 37 los censados de la tribu de Benjamín fueron treinta y cinco mil cuatrocientos.
38 De los descendientes de Dan, quedaron registrados uno por uno, según sus clanes y sus casas patriarcales, los nombres de todos los varones mayores de veinte años aptos para el servicio militar; 39 los censados de la tribu de Dan fueron sesenta y dos mil setecientos.
40 De los descendientes de Aser, quedaron registrados uno por uno, según sus clanes y sus casas patriarcales, los nombres de todos los varones mayores de veinte años aptos para el servicio militar; 41 los censados de la tribu de Aser fueron cuarenta y un mil quinientos.
42 De los descendientes de Neftalí, quedaron registrados uno por uno, según sus clanes y sus casas patriarcales, los nombres de todos los varones mayores de veinte años aptos para el servicio militar; 43 los censados de la tribu de Neftalí fueron cincuenta y tres mil cuatrocientos.
44 Estos fueron los censados por Moisés y Aarón asistidos por los doce jefes de las respectivas casas patriarcales. 45 El total de israelitas censados según sus clanes patriarcales, todos ellos mayores de veinte años y aptos para el servicio militar, 46 fue de seiscientos tres mil quinientos cincuenta.
Estatuto de los levitas
47 Pero los levitas no fueron censados según sus respectivos clanes patriarcales, 48 porque el Señor había dicho a Moisés:
49 — No registrarás la tribu de Leví, ni los censarás con los demás israelitas. 50 Pondrás a los levitas a cargo de la Morada del testimonio, de todos sus utensilios, y de todo lo relacionado con ella. Ellos transportarán la Morada, estarán a su servicio y acamparán alrededor de ella. 51 Cuando la Morada haya de trasladarse, los levitas la desmontarán; y cuando haya de detenerse, los levitas la montarán; cualquier intruso que se arrogue ese derecho será condenado a muerte. 52 Los israelitas acamparán por escuadrones, cada uno en su campamento y cada uno junto a su estandarte. 53 Los levitas, sin embargo, acamparán alrededor de la Morada del testimonio para que no se desate la cólera divina sobre la comunidad israelita; a ellos corresponde la custodia de la Morada del testimonio.
54 Los israelitas hicieron puntualmente todo que el Señor mandó a Moisés.

A Census of Israel is Taken(A)
1 In the Sinai desert, the Lord spoke to Moses inside the Tent of Meeting on the first day of the second month of the second year after they had left the land of Egypt. He said, 2 “Take a census of the entire[a] Israeli community, numbering them by their tribes[b] and by ancestral houses. List the names of every male one-by-one, 3 from 20 years and upward. You and Aaron are to register everyone in Israel who is able to go to war, company by company. 4 One man from each tribe is to accompany you, each man being the leader of his ancestral house.
5 “Here is a list of names of the men who are to assist[c] you:
“From Reuben: Shedeur’s son Elizur. 6 From Simeon: Zurishaddai’s son Shelumiel. 7 From Judah: Amminadab’s son Nahshon. 8 From Issachar: Zuar’s son Nethanel. 9 From Zebulun: Helon’s son Eliab.
10 “From Joseph’s descendants through Ephraim: Ammihud’s son Elishama. From Manasseh: Pedahzur’s son Gamaliel. 11 From Benjamin: Gideoni’s son Abidan. 12 From Dan: Ammishaddai’s son Ahiezer. 13 From Asher: Ochran’s son Pagiel. 14 From Gad: Deuel’s son Eliasaph. 15 From Naphtali: Enan’s son Ahira.”
16 These men were appointed from within their communities, since they were leaders of their ancestral houses and heads of the tribes of Israel.
17 Moses and Aaron gathered these men who had been mentioned by name. 18 They assembled the entire community together during the second month. Then they recorded their ancestries,[d] according to their tribes and ancestral houses, as well as the names of the men[e] 20 years old and above individually,[f] 19 just as the Lord had commanded Moses. He numbered them in the Sinai desert.
Numbering the Tribes
20 The genealogies of the descendants of Reuben, the firstborn of Israel, were recorded individually, according to their tribes and ancestral houses, as were the names of all the men 20 years and above who could serve in the army. 21 Those registered with the tribe of Reuben numbered 46,500.
22 The genealogies of Simeon’s descendants were recorded individually, according to their tribes and ancestral houses, as were the names of all the men 20 years and above who could serve in the army. 23 Those registered with the tribe of Simeon numbered 59,300.
24 The genealogies of Gad’s descendants were recorded individually, according to their tribes and ancestral houses, as were the names of all the men 20 years and above who could serve in the army. 25 Those registered with the tribe of Gad numbered 45,650.
26 The genealogies of Judah’s descendants were recorded individually, according to their tribes and ancestral houses, as were the names of all the men 20 years and above who could serve in the army. 27 Those registered with the tribe of Judah numbered 74,600.
28 The genealogies of Issachar’s descendants were recorded individually, according to their tribes and ancestral houses, as were the names of all the men 20 years and above who could serve in the army. 29 Those registered with the tribe of Issachar numbered 54,400.
30 The genealogies of Zebulun’s descendants were recorded individually, according to their tribes and ancestral houses, as were the names of all the men 20 years and above who could serve in the army. 31 Those registered with the tribe of Zebulun numbered 57,400.
32 The genealogies of Joseph’s descendants were recorded individually, according to their tribes and ancestral houses, as were the names of all the men 20 years and above who could serve in the army. 33 Those registered with the tribe of Joseph numbered 40,500.
34 The genealogies of Manasseh’s descendants were recorded individually, according to their tribes and ancestral houses, as were the names of all the men 20 years and above who could serve in the army. 35 Those registered with the tribe of Manasseh numbered 32,200.
36 The genealogies of Benjamin’s descendants were recorded individually, according to their tribes and ancestral houses, as were the names of all the men 20 years and above who could serve in the army. 37 Those registered with the tribe of Benjamin numbered 35,400.
38 The genealogies of Dan’s descendants were recorded individually, according to their tribes and ancestral houses, as were the names of all the men 20 years and above who could serve in the army. 39 Those registered with the tribe of Dan numbered 62,700.
40 The genealogies of Asher’s descendants were recorded individually, according to their tribes and ancestral houses, as were the names of all the men 20 years and above who could serve in the army. 41 Those registered with the tribe of Asher numbered 41,500.
42 The genealogies of Naphtali’s descendants were recorded individually, according to their tribes and ancestral houses, as were the names of all the men 20 years and above who could serve in the army. 43 Those registered with the family of Naphtali numbered 53,400.
44 These individuals were the ones whom Moses and Aaron registered from the twelve leaders of Israel, each person from his ancestral house. 45 Everyone was numbered from the descendants of Israel, from their ancestral houses, from all the men who were 20 years and above and who could serve in the army. 46 The total of all those who were numbered was 603,550.
Exemption of the Tribe of Levi from the Census
47 The descendants of Levi were not counted according to their ancestral houses 48 because the Lord had ordered Moses: 49 “Be sure not to number or count the tribe of Levi with the rest of the Israelis. 50 Instead, appoint the descendants of Levi over the Tent of Meeting, all the vessels, and everything in it. They are to carry the tent and all the vessels in it. They are to attend to it and camp around it. 51 Whenever the tent is ready for travel, the descendants of Levi are to take it down. When it’s time to encamp, the descendants of Levi are to set it up. Any unauthorized person[g] who approaches it is to be executed. 52 Then the Israelis are to encamp around the tent,[h] arranged according to their company and the standard of their army. 53 But the descendants of Levi are to encamp on all sides of the Tent of Meeting so that divine wrath won’t fall on the congregation of Israel.[i] The descendants of Levi are to take care of the Tent of Meeting.”
54 The Israelis observed everything that the Lord had commanded Moses, doing exactly what they were told.

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:

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.

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.

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.

The First Census of Israel(A)
1 Now the Lord spoke to Moses (B)in the Wilderness of Sinai, (C)in the tabernacle of meeting, on the (D)first day of the second month, in the second year after they had come out of the land of Egypt, saying: 2 (E)“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 (F)individually, 3 from (G)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 (H)Deuel;[a] 15 from Naphtali, Ahira the son of Enan.” 16 (I)These were (J)chosen[b] from the congregation, leaders of their fathers’ tribes, (K)heads of the divisions in Israel.
17 Then Moses and Aaron took these men who had been [c]mentioned (L)by name, 18 and they assembled all the congregation together on the first day of the second month; and they recited their (M)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 (N)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 (O)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 (P)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 (Q)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 (R)seventy-four thousand six hundred.
28 From the (S)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 (T)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 (U)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 (V)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 (W)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 (X)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 (Y)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 (Z)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 (AA)six hundred and three thousand five hundred and fifty.
47 But (AB)the Levites were not numbered among them by their fathers’ tribe; 48 for the Lord had spoken to Moses, saying: 49 (AC)“Only the tribe of Levi you shall not number, nor take a census of them among the children of Israel; 50 (AD)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 (AE)and camp around the tabernacle. 51 (AF)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 (AG)up. (AH)The outsider who comes near shall be put to death. 52 The children of Israel shall pitch their tents, (AI)everyone by his own camp, everyone by his own standard, according to their armies; 53 (AJ)but the Levites shall camp around the tabernacle of the Testimony, that there may be no (AK)wrath on the congregation of the children of Israel; and the Levites shall (AL)keep[d] 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.
