Israel Is Numbered by Families
1 The Lord spoke to Moses in the Sinai desert, in the meeting tent on the first day of the second month, in the second year after they had come out of the land of Egypt. The Lord said, 2 “Number all the people of Israel, by their families, by those of their fathers’ houses. Write down the names of every male, head by head, 3 twenty years old and older. You and Aaron number by their armies whoever in Israel is able to go out to war. 4 A man from each family should be with you to help you. Each one should be the head of his father’s house. 5 These are the names of the men who will help you: Shedeur’s son Elizur from Reuben, 6 Zurishaddai’s son Shelumiel from Simeon, 7 Amminadab’s son Nahshon from Judah, 8 Zuar’s son Nethanel from Issachar, 9 and Helon’s son Eliab from Zebulun. 10 From the sons of Joseph there will be Ammihud’s son Elishama from Ephraim, and Pedahzur’s son Gamaliel from Manasseh. 11 There will be Gideoni’s son Abidan from Benjamin, 12 Ammishaddai’s son Ahiezer from Dan, 13 Ochran’s son Pagiel from Asher, 14 Deuel’s son Eliasaph from Gad, 15 and Enan’s son Ahira from Naphtali.” 16 These were the ones chosen from the people. They were the leaders of their fathers’ families, the heads of thousands in Israel.
17 Moses and Aaron took these men who had been chosen by name. 18 And they gathered all the people together on the first day of the second month. The people gave their names by families, by their fathers’ houses, by the number of names from twenty years old and older, head by head. 19 They did just as the Lord had told Moses. So he numbered them in the desert of Sinai.
20 The sons of Reuben, Israel’s first-born, were numbered by their families, by their fathers’ houses, by the number of names. Every male twenty years old and older was numbered, whoever was able to go out to war. 21 The number of the family of Reuben was 46,500.
22 The sons of Simeon were numbered by their families, by their fathers’ houses, by the number of names. Every male twenty years old and older was numbered, whoever was able to go out to war. 23 The number of the family of Simeon was 59,300.
24 The sons of Gad were numbered by their families, by their fathers’ houses, by the number of names. Every male twenty years old and older was numbered, whoever was able to go out to war. 25 The number of the family of Gad was 45,650.
26 The sons of Judah were numbered by their families, by their fathers’ houses, by the number of names. Every male twenty years old and older was numbered, whoever was able to go out to war. 27 The number of the family of Judah was 74,600.
28 The sons of Issachar were numbered by their families, by their fathers’ houses, by the number of names. Every male twenty years old and older was numbered, whoever was able to go out to war. 29 The number of the family of Issachar was 54,400.
30 The sons of Zebulun were numbered by their families, by their fathers’ houses, by the number of names. Every male twenty years old and older was numbered, whoever was able to go out to war. 31 The number of the family of Zebulun was 57,400.
32 The sons of Joseph, the sons of Ephraim, were numbered by their families, by their fathers’ houses, by the number of names. Every male twenty years old and older was numbered, whoever was able to go out to war. 33 The number of the family of Ephraim was 40,500.
34 The sons of Manasseh were numbered by their families, by their fathers’ houses, by the number of names. Every male twenty years old and older was numbered, whoever was able to go out to war. 35 The number of the family of Manasseh was 32,200.
36 The sons of Benjamin were numbered by their families, by their fathers’ houses, by the number of names. Every male twenty years old and older was numbered, whoever was able to go out to war. 37 The number of the family of Benjamin was 35,400.
38 The sons of Dan were numbered by their families, by their fathers’ houses, by the number of names. Every male twenty years old and older was numbered, whoever was able to go out to war. 39 The number of the family of Dan was 62,700.
40 The sons of Asher were numbered by their families, by their fathers’ houses, by the number of names. Every male twenty years old and older was numbered, whoever was able to go out to war. 41 The number of the family of Asher was 41,500.
42 The sons of Naphtali were numbered by their families, by their fathers’ houses, by the number of names. Every male twenty years old and older was numbered, whoever was able to go out to war. 43 The number of the family of Naphtali was 53,400.
44 These were numbered by Moses and Aaron, and the leaders of Israel, twelve men, each chosen from his father’s house. 45 All the men of Israel were numbered by their fathers’ houses, twenty years old and older, whoever in Israel was able to go out to war. 46 The number of all the men was 603,550. 47 But the Levites by their fathers’ family were not numbered with them. 48 For the Lord had told Moses, 49 “Only the family of Levi should not be numbered. Do not add their number among the sons of Israel. 50 But have the Levites take care of the meeting tent of the Law, and all that is in it, and all that belongs to it. They will carry the meeting tent and all that goes in it. They will take care of it, and set up their tents around it. 51 When the meeting tent is to be moved, the Levites will take it down. When the meeting tent is brought to a place to stay, the Levites will set it up. If anyone else comes near, he must be put to death. 52 The people of Israel will set up their tents by their own groups and armies, each man by his own flag. 53 But the Levites will set up their tents around the meeting tent of the Law. Then no anger will come upon the people of Israel. The Levites must take care of the meeting tent of the Law.” 54 So the people of Israel did this. They did everything the Lord had told Moses.

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. 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)

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.

A Census of Israel's Warriors
1 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, 2 (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. 3 (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. 4 And there shall be with you a man from each tribe, each man being the head of the house of his fathers. 5 And these are the names of the men who shall assist you.

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.

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.

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.

核以色列族能临阵男丁之总数
1 以色列人出埃及地后，第二年二月初一日，耶和华在西奈的旷野，会幕中晓谕摩西说： 2 “你要按以色列全会众的家室、宗族，人名的数目，计算所有的男丁。 3 凡以色列中，从二十岁以外，能出去打仗的，你和亚伦要照他们的军队数点。 4 每支派中，必有一人做本支派的族长，帮助你们。 5 他们的名字：属鲁本的，有示丢珥的儿子以利蓿； 6 属西缅的，有苏利沙代的儿子示路蔑； 7 属犹大的，有亚米拿达的儿子拿顺； 8 属以萨迦的，有苏押的儿子拿坦业； 9 属西布伦的，有希伦的儿子以利押； 10 约瑟子孙属以法莲的，有亚米忽的儿子以利沙玛；属玛拿西的，有比大蓿的儿子迦玛列； 11 属便雅悯的，有基多尼的儿子亚比但； 12 属但的，有亚米沙代的儿子亚希以谢； 13 属亚设的，有俄兰的儿子帕结； 14 属迦得的，有丢珥的儿子以利雅萨； 15 属拿弗他利的，有以南的儿子亚希拉。 16 这都是从会中选召的，各做本支派的首领，都是以色列军中的统领。” 17 于是摩西、亚伦带着这些按名指定的人， 18 当二月初一日招聚全会众。会众就照他们的家室、宗族，人名的数目，从二十岁以外的，都述说自己的家谱。 19 耶和华怎样吩咐摩西，他就怎样在西奈的旷野数点他们。
21 以色列的长子鲁本子孙的后代，照着家室、宗族，人名的数目，从二十岁以外，凡能出去打仗，被数的男丁共有四万六千五百名。
23 西缅子孙的后代，照着家室、宗族，人名的数目，从二十岁以外，凡能出去打仗，被数的男丁共有五万九千三百名。
25 迦得子孙的后代，照着家室、宗族，人名的数目，从二十岁以外，凡能出去打仗，被数的共有四万五千六百五十名。
27 犹大子孙的后代，照着家室、宗族，人名的数目，从二十岁以外，凡能出去打仗，被数的共有七万四千六百名。
29 以萨迦子孙的后代，照着家室、宗族，人名的数目，从二十岁以外，凡能出去打仗，被数的共有五万四千四百名。
31 西布伦子孙的后代，照着家室、宗族，人名的数目，从二十岁以外，凡能出去打仗，被数的共有五万七千四百名。
33 约瑟子孙，属以法莲子孙的后代，照着家室、宗族，人名的数目，从二十岁以外，凡能出去打仗，被数的共有四万零五百名。
35 玛拿西子孙的后代，照着家室、宗族，人名的数目，从二十岁以外，凡能出去打仗，被数的共有三万二千二百名。
37 便雅悯子孙的后代，照着家室、宗族，人名的数目，从二十岁以外，凡能出去打仗，被数的共有三万五千四百名。
39 但子孙的后代，照着家室、宗族，人名的数目，从二十岁以外，凡能出去打仗，被数的共有六万二千七百名。
41 亚设子孙的后代，照着家室、宗族，人名的数目，从二十岁以外，凡能出去打仗，被数的共有四万一千五百名。
43 拿弗他利子孙的后代，照着家室、宗族，人名的数目，从二十岁以外，凡能出去打仗，被数的共有五万三千四百名。
44 这些就是被数点的，是摩西、亚伦和以色列中十二个首领所数点的，这十二个人各做各宗族的代表。 46 这样，凡以色列人中被数的，照着宗族从二十岁以外，能出去打仗，被数的共有六十万零三千五百五十名。
利未支派不列其数
47 利未人却没有按着支派数在其中， 48 因为耶和华晓谕摩西说： 49 “唯独利未支派你不可数点，也不可在以色列人中计算他们的总数。 50 只要派利未人管法柜的帐幕和其中的器具，并属乎帐幕的。他们要抬[a]帐幕和其中的器具，并要办理帐幕的事，在帐幕的四围安营。 51 帐幕将往前行的时候，利未人要拆卸；将支搭的时候，利未人要竖起。近前来的外人必被治死。 52 以色列人支搭帐篷，要照他们的军队，各归本营，各归本纛。 53 但利未人要在法柜帐幕的四围安营，免得愤怒临到以色列会众。利未人并要谨守法柜的帐幕。” 54 以色列人就这样行。凡耶和华所吩咐摩西的，他们就照样行了。
