Expanded Bible
The People of Israel Are Counted
1 The Lord spoke to Moses in the Meeting Tent [C the Tabernacle; Ex. 25–31] in the ·Desert [Wilderness] of Sinai. This was on the first day of the second month in the second year after the Israelites left Egypt [Ex. 12:50–51; C one year later]. He said to Moses: 2 “You and Aaron must ·count [take a census of; L lift the head of] all the ·people of Israel [community/congregation/assembly of the sons/T children of Israel] by ·families [clans] and family groups, listing the name of each ·man [male]. 3 You and Aaron must count every man twenty years old or older who will serve in the army of Israel, and list them by their divisions [C like a military registration]. 4 One man from each tribe, the leader of his family, will help you. 5 These are the names of the men who will help you:
from the tribe of Reuben—Elizur son of Shedeur;
6 from the tribe of Simeon—Shelumiel son of Zurishaddai;
7 from the tribe of Judah—Nahshon son of Amminadab;
8 from the tribe of Issachar—Nethanel son of Zuar;
9 from the tribe of Zebulun—Eliab son of Helon;
10 from the tribe of Ephraim son of Joseph—Elishama son of Ammihud;
from the tribe of Manasseh son of Joseph—Gamaliel son of Pedahzur;
11 from the tribe of Benjamin—Abidan son of Gideoni;
12 from the tribe of Dan—Ahiezer son of Ammishaddai;
13 from the tribe of Asher—Pagiel son of Ocran;
14 from the tribe of Gad—Eliasaph son of Deuel;
15 from the tribe of Naphtali—Ahira son of Enan.”
16 These were the men chosen from the ·people [community; congregation; assembly] to be leaders of their tribes, the heads of Israel’s family groups.
17 Moses and Aaron took these men ·who had been picked [L whose names had been designated] 18 and ·called [assembled] all the ·people [community; congregation; assembly] of Israel together on the first day of the second month. Then the people ·were listed [registered their genealogies] by their ·families [clans] and family groups, and all the ·men [males] who were twenty years old or older were listed by name. 19 Moses did exactly what the Lord had commanded and ·listed [enrolled] the people while they were in the ·Desert [Wilderness] of Sinai.
20 The ·tribe [L sons; descendants] of Reuben, the first son born to Israel [C Jacob; Gen. 35:23; 46:8; 49:3], ·was counted [L according to their records/lineage]; all the men twenty years old or older who were able to serve in the army were listed by name with their ·families [clans] and family groups. 21 The tribe of Reuben totaled 46,500 men.
22 The ·tribe [L sons; descendants] of Simeon ·was counted [L according to their records/lineage]; all the men twenty years old or older who were able to serve in the army were listed by name with their ·families [clans] and family groups. 23 The tribe of Simeon totaled 59,300 men.
24 The ·tribe [L sons; descendants] of Gad ·was counted [L according to their records/lineage]; all the men twenty years old or older who were able to serve in the army were listed by name with their ·families [clans] and family groups. 25 The tribe of Gad totaled 45,650 men.
26 The ·tribe [L sons; descendants] of Judah ·was counted [L according to their records/lineage]; all the men twenty years old or older who were able to serve in the army were listed by name with their ·families [clans] and family groups. 27 The tribe of Judah totaled 74,600 men.
28 The ·tribe [L sons; descendants] of Issachar ·was counted [L according to their records/lineage]; all the men twenty years old or older who were able to serve in the army were listed by name with their ·families [clans] and family groups. 29 The tribe of Issachar totaled 54,400 men.
30 The ·tribe [L sons; descendants] of Zebulun ·was counted [L according to their records/lineage]; all the men twenty years old or older who were able to serve in the army were listed by name with their ·families [clans] and family groups. 31 The tribe of Zebulun totaled 57,400 men.
32 The ·tribe [L sons; descendants] of Ephraim, a son of Joseph, ·was counted [L according to their records/lineage]; all the men twenty years old or older who were able to serve in the army were listed by name with their ·families [clans] and family groups. 33 The tribe of Ephraim totaled 40,500 men.
34 The ·tribe [L sons; descendants] of Manasseh, also a son of Joseph, ·was counted [L according to their records/lineage]; all the men twenty years old or older who were able to serve in the army were listed by name with their ·families [clans] and family groups. 35 The tribe of Manasseh totaled 32,200 men.
36 The ·tribe [L sons; descendants] of Benjamin ·was counted [L according to their records/lineage]; all the men twenty years old or older who were able to serve in the army were listed by name with their ·families [clans] and family groups. 37 The tribe of Benjamin totaled 35,400 men.
38 The ·tribe [L sons; descendants] of Dan ·was counted [L according to their records/lineage]; all the men twenty years old or older who were able to serve in the army were listed by name with their ·families [clans] and family groups. 39 The tribe of Dan totaled 62,700 men.
40 The ·tribe [L sons; descendants] of Asher ·was counted [L according to their records/lineage]; all the men twenty years old or older who were able to serve in the army were listed by name with their ·families [clans] and family groups. 41 The tribe of Asher totaled 41,500 men.
42 The ·tribe [L sons; descendants] of Naphtali ·was counted [L according to their records/lineage]; all the men twenty years old or older who were able to serve in the army were listed by name with their ·families [clans] and family groups. 43 The tribe of Naphtali totaled 53,400 men.
44 Moses, Aaron, and the twelve leaders of Israel, one from each of the family groups, counted these men. 45 Every man of Israel twenty years old or older who was able to serve in the army was counted and listed with his family group. 46 The total number of men was 603,550.
47 The families groups from the tribe of Levi were not ·listed [counted] with the others, because 48 the Lord had told Moses: 49 “Do not count the tribe of Levi or ·include [take a census of; L lift the head of] them with the other Israelites. 50 Instead put the Levites in charge of the ·Holy Tent [Tabernacle] of the ·Agreement [Treaty; Covenant; L Testimony; C the Ten Commandments were in the Ark in the Tabernacle; Ex. 25:10] and everything that is with it [Ex. 32:26–29]. They must carry the ·Holy Tent [Tabernacle] and everything in it, and they must take care of it and make their camp around it. 51 Any time the ·Holy Tent [Tabernacle] ·is moved [sets out], the Levites must take it down, and any time it is ·set up [pitched], the Levites must do it. Anyone else who goes near the ·Holy Tent [Tabernacle] will be put to death. 52 The ·Israelites [L sons/T children of Israel] will make their camps in separate divisions, each family near its ·flag [standard]. 53 But the Levites must make their camp around the ·Holy Tent [Tabernacle] of the ·Agreement [Testimony; Treaty; Covenant; 1:50] so that I will not be angry with the ·Israelites [community/ congregation/assembly of the sons/T children of Israel]. The Levites will take care of the ·Holy Tent [Tabernacle] of the ·Agreement [Testimony; Treaty; Covenant; 1:50].”
54 So the Israelites did everything just as the Lord commanded Moses.

Den första folkräkningen
(26:1-51)
Gud ger order om en folkräkning
1 Den första dagen i andra månaden året efter det att israeliterna lämnat Egypten och kommit till Sinais öken, talade Herren till Mose i uppenbarelsetältet:
2 ”Räkna hela Israels menighet, alla män i varje stam och familj, varje namn för sig. 3 Du och Aron ska mönstra alla vapenföra Israels män från tjugo år och uppåt, häravdelning för häravdelning. 4 En man från varje stam, ett familjeöverhuvud, ska hjälpa er. 5 Här är namnen på männen som ska hjälpa er:
från Rubens stam Elisur, Shedeurs son,
6 från Simons Shelumiel, Surishaddajs son,
7 från Judas Nachshon, Amminadavs son,
8 från Isaskars Netanel, Suars son,
9 från Sebulons Eliav, Helons son,
10 från Efraims (Josefs son) Elishama, Ammihuds son,
från Manasse (Josefs son) Gamliel, Pedasurs son,
11 från Benjamins Avidan, Gidonis son,
12 från Dans Achieser, Ammishaddajs son,
13 från Ashers Pagiel, Okrans son,
14 från Gads Eljasaf, Deguels son,
15 från Naftalis stam Achira, Enans son.”
16 Dessa män var utsedda av menigheten och var ledare för sina fäders stammar, de var Israels stamhövdingar.
17 Mose och Aron tog dessa namngivna män 18 och sammankallade hela menigheten på första dagen i andra månaden. Folket infördes i förteckningen efter sina släkter och familjer, varje namn för sig, alla män från tjugo år och uppåt 19 som Herren hade befallt Mose. Så mönstrade han dem i Sinaiöknen.
20 Av Rubens, Israels förstföddes, stam upptecknades släkt för släkt, familj för familj, namn för namn alla vapenföra män från tjugo år och uppåt. 21 Av Rubens stam mönstrades 46 500 man.
22 Av Simons ättlingar upptecknades släkt för släkt, familj för familj, namn för namn alla vapenföra män från tjugo år och uppåt. 23 Av Simons stam mönstrades 59 300 man.
24 Av Gads ättlingar upptecknades släkt för släkt, familj för familj, namn för namn alla vapenföra män från tjugo år och uppåt. 25 Av Gads stam mönstrades 45 650 man.
26 Av Judas ättlingar upptecknades släkt för släkt, familj för familj, namn för namn alla vapenföra män från tjugo år och uppåt. 27 Av Judas stam mönstrades 74 600 man.
28 Av Isaskars ättlingar upptecknades släkt för släkt, familj för familj, namn för namn alla vapenföra män från tjugo år och uppåt. 29 Av Isaskars stam mönstrades 54 400 man.
30 Av Sebulons ättlingar upptecknades släkt för släkt, familj för familj, namn för namn alla vapenföra män från tjugo år och uppåt. 31 Av Sebulons stam mönstrades 57 400 man.
32 Av Efraims, Josefs sons, ättlingar upptecknades släkt för släkt, familj för familj, namn för namn alla vapenföra män från tjugo år och uppåt. 33 Av Efraims stam mönstrades 40 500 man.
34 Av Manasses, Josefs sons, ättlingar upptecknades släkt för släkt, familj för familj, namn för namn alla vapenföra män från tjugo år och uppåt. 35 Av Manasses stam mönstrades 32 200 man.
36 Av Benjamins ättlingar upptecknades släkt för släkt, familj för familj, namn för namn alla vapenföra män från tjugo år och uppåt. 37 Av Benjamins stam inmönstrades 35 400 man.
38 Av Dans ättlingar upptecknades släkt för släkt, familj för familj, namn för namn alla vapenföra män från tjugo år och uppåt. 39 Av Dans stam mönstrades 62 700 man.
40 Av Ashers ättlingar upptecknades släkt för släkt, familj för familj, namn för namn alla vapenföra män från tjugo år och uppåt. 41 Av Ashers stam mönstrades 41 500 man.
42 Av Naftalis ättlingar upptecknades släkt för släkt, familj för familj, namn för namn alla vapenföra män från tjugo år och uppåt. 43 Av Naftalis stam mönstrades 53 400 man.
44 Dessa mönstrades av Mose och Aron och Israels hövdingar, tolv män som representerade var sin stamfamilj. 45 Alla vapenföra israeliter från tjugo år och uppåt mönstrades alltså familjevis. 46 Sammanlagt räknades 603 550 stridsdugliga män vid mönstringen.
47 Leviternas fädernestam räknades dock inte i mönstringen tillsammans med de andra. 48 Herren talade nämligen till Mose: 49 ”Du ska inte räkna Levis stam i mönstringen av israeliterna. 50 Du ska ge dem i uppdrag att bära förbundstecknets boning och utföra allt som hör samman med den och alla dess redskap och sköta om dem. De måste bo nära tältet 51 och när det ska flyttas är det leviternas sak att ta ner det och att sätta upp det igen vid nästa lägerplats. Om någon annan kommer nära det ska han dödas. 52 Varje israelit ska slå läger tillsammans och under eget banér, efter sina häravdelningar. 53 Leviternas tält ska slås upp runt förbundstecknets boning för att Guds vrede inte ska komma över Israels meninghet. Leviterna är ansvariga för den och dess skötsel.”
54 Alla dessa befallningar som Herren hade gett Mose efterföljdes av israeliterna.

New International Version
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.
