Numeri 1-2
BasisBijbel
Israëls leger wordt geteld
1 Op de eerste dag van de tweede maand van het tweede jaar nadat het volk uit Egypte was vertrokken, zei de Heer tegen Mozes in de Sinaï-woestijn, in de tent van ontmoeting: 2 "Tel het aantal Israëlieten. Tel ze volgens de families en stammen waar ze bij horen. 3 Tel alle mannen van 20 jaar en ouder, alle mannen die met het leger kunnen meegaan. Tel ze per stam. Doe dit samen met Aäron. 4 Van elke stam moet de leider van die stam jullie helpen bij het tellen. 5 Dat zijn:
Elizur, de zoon van Sedeür, van de stam van Ruben.
6 Selumiël, de zoon van Zurisaddai, van de stam van Simeon.
7 Nahesson, de zoon van Amminadab, van de stam van Juda.
8 Netaneël, de zoon van Zuar, van de stam van Issaschar.
9 Eliab, de zoon van Helon, van de stam van Zebulon.
10 Van de stam van Jozef: Elisama, de zoon van Ammihud, van de stam van Efraïm, en Gamaliël, de zoon van Pedazur, van de stam van Manasse.
11 Abidan, de zoon van Gideoni, van de stam van Benjamin.
12 Ahiëzer, de zoon van Ammisaddai, van de stam van Dan.
13 Pagiël, de zoon van Ochran, van de stam van Aser.
14 Eljasaf, de zoon van Dehuël, van de stam van Gad.
15 Ahira, de zoon van Enan, van de stam van Naftali.
16 Roep deze mannen bij elkaar. Zij zijn de stamhoofden en de aanvoerders van Israëls leger."
17 Toen riepen Mozes en Aäron de mannen bij elkaar die God genoemd had. 18 Op de eerste dag van de tweede maand riepen Mozes en Aäron alle mannen van het hele volk bij elkaar. Ze gingen in groepen staan, volgens de stammen en families waar ze bij hoorden. Alle mannen van 20 jaar en ouder kwamen, zoals de Heer het Mozes bevolen had. 19 Zoals de Heer hem bevolen had, telde Mozes hen in de Sinaï-woestijn:
20 De mannen uit de stam van Ruben, de oudste zoon van Israël, werden per familie geteld. 21 Er waren 46.500 mannen van 20 jaar en ouder die met het leger konden meegaan.
22 De mannen uit de stam van Simeon werden per familie geteld. 23 Er waren 59.300 mannen van 20 jaar en ouder die met het leger konden meegaan.
24 De mannen uit de stam van Gad werden per familie geteld. 25 Er waren 45.650 mannen van 20 jaar en ouder die met het leger konden meegaan.
26 De mannen uit de stam van Juda werden per familie geteld. 27 Er waren 74.600 mannen van 20 jaar en ouder die met het leger konden meegaan.
28 De mannen uit de stam van Issaschar werden per familie geteld. 29 Er waren 54.400 mannen van 20 jaar en ouder die met het leger konden meegaan.
30 De mannen uit de stam van Zebulon werden per familie geteld. 31 Er waren waren 57.400 mannen van 20 jaar en ouder die met het leger konden meegaan.
32 De mannen uit de stam van Efraïm, de zoon van Jozef, werden per familie geteld. 33 Er waren 40.500 mannen van 20 jaar en ouder die met het leger konden meegaan.
34 De mannen uit de stam van Manasse, de andere zoon van Jozef, werden per familie geteld. 35 Er waren 32.200 mannen van 20 jaar en ouder die met het leger konden meegaan.
36 De mannen uit de stam van Benjamin werden per familie geteld. 37 Er waren 35.400 mannen van 20 jaar en ouder die met het leger konden meegaan.
38 De mannen uit de stam van Dan werden per familie geteld. 39 Er waren 62.700 mannen van 20 jaar en ouder die met het leger konden meegaan.
40 De mannen uit de stam van Aser werden per familie geteld. 41 Er waren 41.500 mannen van 20 jaar en ouder die met het leger konden meegaan.
42 De mannen uit de stam van Naftali werden per familie geteld. 43 Er waren 53.400 mannen van 20 jaar en ouder die met het leger konden meegaan.
44 Dit is het aantal mannen dat Mozes en Aäron en de twaalf leiders van de stammen van het volk Israël geteld hebben. 45+46 In totaal waren er 603.550 mannen van 20 jaar en ouder die met het leger konden meegaan. Ze waren per familie geteld.
De taak van de Levieten
47 Maar de mannen van de stam van Levi werden niet geteld. 48 Want God had tegen Mozes gezegd: 49 "Alleen de stam van Levi moet je niet tellen. Je moet hen niet optellen bij het aantal getelde mannen van de Israëlieten. 50 Zij zullen verantwoordelijk zijn voor de tent met de kist van het verbond. En ze moeten zorgen voor alle voorwerpen die daarbij horen. Ze moeten de tent dragen, en alle voorwerpen die daarbij horen. Ze moeten dienst doen in de tent. Hun eigen tenten moeten ze opzetten rond de tent van ontmoeting. 51 Als de tent moet worden afgebroken, moet dat door de Levieten worden gedaan. En als hij weer opgezet moet worden, moet dat door de Levieten worden gedaan. Als andere mensen dat doen, zal Ik hen doden."
De plaats van de stammen rond de tent van ontmoeting
52 "Als de Israëlieten hun tentenkamp opzetten, moeten ze dat doen in vaste groepen. Die groepen zijn ingedeeld volgens de stammen waar ze bij horen. Iedereen zet zijn tent bij de vlag waar hij bij hoort.[a] 53 Maar de Levieten moeten hun tenten rond de tent van ontmoeting opzetten. Zo kan niemand van het volk bij de tent komen en zal Ik niet vreselijk boos op het volk worden en hen straffen. De Levieten bewaken de tent van ontmoeting waarin de kist van het verbond staat." 54 En de Israëlieten deden precies wat Mozes gezegd had. (lees verder)
De plaats van de stammen rond de tent van ontmoeting (vervolg)
2 De Heer zei tegen Mozes en Aäron: 2 "De Israëlieten moeten hun tenten in vaste groepen opzetten. Iedereen zet zijn tent op bij de vlag waar hij bij hoort en bij de familie waar hij bij hoort. De tenten moeten op een afstand van de tent van ontmoeting komen te staan.
3 Aan de oostkant komt de vlag van de stam van Juda te staan. Bij die vlag zetten de volgende stammen hun tenten op:
De stam van Juda, met als aanvoerder Nahesson, de zoon van Amminadab. 4 Zijn leger bestond uit 74.600 mannen.
5 Daarnaast de stam van Issaschar, met als aanvoerder Netaneël, de zoon van Zuar. 6 Zijn leger bestond uit 54.400 mannen.
7 Daarnaast de stam van Zebulon, met als aanvoerder Eliab, de zoon van Helon. 8 Zijn leger bestond uit 57.400 mannen.
9 Het hele leger van de vlag van Juda bestond uit 186.400 mannen. Deze stammen moeten steeds vooraan optrekken.
10 Aan de zuidkant komt de vlag van de stam van Ruben te staan. Bij die vlag zetten de volgende stammen hun tenten op:
De stam van Ruben, met als aanvoerder Elizur, de zoon van Sedeür. 11 Zijn leger bestond uit 46.500 mannen.
12 Daarnaast de stam van Simeon, met als aanvoerder Selumiël, de zoon van Zurisaddai. 13 Zijn leger bestond uit 59.300 mannen.
14 Daarnaast de stam van Gad, met als aanvoerder Eljasaf, de zoon van Rehuël. 15 Zijn leger bestond uit 45.650 mannen.
16 Het hele leger van de vlag van Ruben bestond uit 151.450 mannen. Deze stammen moeten steeds als tweede optrekken.
17 Daarna moet de tent van ontmoeting met alle Levieten optrekken, midden tussen de legers van de andere stammen. Zoals de tenten van de Israëlieten staan, zo moeten ze ook optrekken: iedere groep bij zijn eigen vlag.
18 Aan de westkant komt de vlag van de stam van Efraïm te staan. Bij die vlag zetten de volgende stammen hun tenten op:
De stam van Efraïm, met als aanvoerder Elisama, de zoon van Ammihud. 19 Zijn leger bestond uit 40.500 mannen.
20 Daarnaast de stam van Manasse, met als aanvoerder Gamaliël, de zoon van Pedazur. 21 Zijn leger bestond uit 32.200 mannen.
22 Daarnaast de stam van Benjamin, met als aanvoerder Abidan, de zoon van Gideoni. 23 Zijn leger bestond uit 35.400 mannen.
24 Het hele leger van de vlag van Efraïm was 108.100 mannen. Deze stammen moeten steeds als derde optrekken.
25 Aan de noordkant komt de vlag van de stam van Dan te staan. Bij die vlag zetten de volgende stammen hun tenten op:
De stam van Dan, met als aanvoerder Ahiëzer, de zoon van Ammisaddai. 26 Zijn leger bestond uit 62.700 mannen.
27 Daarnaast de stam van Aser, met als aanvoerder Pagiël, de zoon van Ochran. 28 Zijn leger bestond uit 41.500 mannen.
29 Daarnaast de stam van Naftali, met als aanvoerder Ahira, de zoon van Enan. 30 Zijn leger bestond uit 53.400 mannen.
31 Het hele leger van de vlag van Dan bestond uit 157.600 mannen. Deze stammen moeten steeds achteraan optrekken.
32 In totaal waren er 603.550 mannen die met het leger konden meegaan, ingedeeld volgens de families waar ze bij hoorden. 33 Maar de Levieten werden niet samen met de andere Israëlieten geteld, zoals de Heer aan Mozes bevolen had. 34 En de Israëlieten zetten hun tenten neer op de plaats die de Heer voor elke stam had bepaald. Alle families zetten hun tenten op rond de vlag waar ze bij hoorden. Ook als de Israëlieten optrokken, bleef iedereen bij de stam en de vlag waar hij bij hoorde.
Footnotes
- Numeri 1:52 In Numeri 2 wordt de indeling per vlag uitgelegd. Er waren vier vlaggen, met drie stammen bij elke vlag. Samen met de Levieten, die niet bij één van de vlaggen waren ingedeeld, waren er 13 stammen. Dat komt doordat de stam van Jozef was gesplitst in de stam van Efraïm en de stam van Manasse. Efraïm en Manasse waren Jozefs zonen.

1 And the Lord spake unto Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, in the tabernacle of the congregation, on the first day of the second month, in the second year after they were come out of the land of Egypt, saying,
2 Take ye the sum of all the congregation of the children of Israel, after their families, by the house of their fathers, with the number of their names, every male by their polls;

47 But the Levites after the tribe of their fathers were not numbered among them.
48 For the Lord had spoken unto Moses, saying,
49 Only thou shalt not number the tribe of Levi, neither take the sum of them among the children of Israel:
50 But thou shalt appoint the Levites over the tabernacle of testimony, and over all the vessels thereof, and over all things that belong to it: they shall bear the tabernacle, and all the vessels thereof; and they shall minister unto it, and shall encamp round about the tabernacle.
51 And when the tabernacle setteth forward, the Levites shall take it down: and when the tabernacle is to be pitched, the Levites shall set it up: and the stranger that cometh nigh shall be put to death.
52 And the children of Israel shall pitch their tents, every man by his own camp, and every man by his own standard, throughout their hosts.
53 But the Levites shall pitch round about the tabernacle of testimony, that there be no wrath upon the congregation of the children of Israel: and the Levites shall keep the charge of the tabernacle of testimony.
54 And the children of Israel did according to all that the Lord commanded Moses, so did they.
2 And the Lord spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
2 Every man of the children of Israel shall pitch by his own standard, with the ensign of their father's house: far off about the tabernacle of the congregation shall they pitch.
3 And on the east side toward the rising of the sun shall they of the standard of the camp of Judah pitch throughout their armies: and Nahshon the son of Amminadab shall be captain of the children of Judah.
4 And his host, and those that were numbered of them, were threescore and fourteen thousand and six hundred.
5 And those that do pitch next unto him shall be the tribe of Issachar: and Nethaneel the son of Zuar shall be captain of the children of Issachar.
6 And his host, and those that were numbered thereof, were fifty and four thousand and four hundred.
7 Then the tribe of Zebulun: and Eliab the son of Helon shall be captain of the children of Zebulun.
8 And his host, and those that were numbered thereof, were fifty and seven thousand and four hundred.
9 All that were numbered in the camp of Judah were an hundred thousand and fourscore thousand and six thousand and four hundred, throughout their armies. These shall first set forth.
10 On the south side shall be the standard of the camp of Reuben according to their armies: and the captain of the children of Reuben shall be Elizur the son of Shedeur.
11 And his host, and those that were numbered thereof, were forty and six thousand and five hundred.
12 And those which pitch by him shall be the tribe of Simeon: and the captain of the children of Simeon shall be Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai.
13 And his host, and those that were numbered of them, were fifty and nine thousand and three hundred.
14 Then the tribe of Gad: and the captain of the sons of Gad shall be Eliasaph the son of Reuel.
15 And his host, and those that were numbered of them, were forty and five thousand and six hundred and fifty.
16 All that were numbered in the camp of Reuben were an hundred thousand and fifty and one thousand and four hundred and fifty, throughout their armies. And they shall set forth in the second rank.
17 Then the tabernacle of the congregation shall set forward with the camp of the Levites in the midst of the camp: as they encamp, so shall they set forward, every man in his place by their standards.
18 On the west side shall be the standard of the camp of Ephraim according to their armies: and the captain of the sons of Ephraim shall be Elishama the son of Ammihud.
19 And his host, and those that were numbered of them, were forty thousand and five hundred.
20 And by him shall be the tribe of Manasseh: and the captain of the children of Manasseh shall be Gamaliel the son of Pedahzur.
21 And his host, and those that were numbered of them, were thirty and two thousand and two hundred.
22 Then the tribe of Benjamin: and the captain of the sons of Benjamin shall be Abidan the son of Gideoni.
23 And his host, and those that were numbered of them, were thirty and five thousand and four hundred.
24 All that were numbered of the camp of Ephraim were an hundred thousand and eight thousand and an hundred, throughout their armies. And they shall go forward in the third rank.
25 The standard of the camp of Dan shall be on the north side by their armies: and the captain of the children of Dan shall be Ahiezer the son of Ammishaddai.
26 And his host, and those that were numbered of them, were threescore and two thousand and seven hundred.
27 And those that encamp by him shall be the tribe of Asher: and the captain of the children of Asher shall be Pagiel the son of Ocran.
28 And his host, and those that were numbered of them, were forty and one thousand and five hundred.
29 Then the tribe of Naphtali: and the captain of the children of Naphtali shall be Ahira the son of Enan.
30 And his host, and those that were numbered of them, were fifty and three thousand and four hundred.
31 All they that were numbered in the camp of Dan were an hundred thousand and fifty and seven thousand and six hundred. They shall go hindmost with their standards.
32 These are those which were numbered of the children of Israel by the house of their fathers: all those that were numbered of the camps throughout their hosts were six hundred thousand and three thousand and five hundred and fifty.
33 But the Levites were not numbered among the children of Israel; as the Lord commanded Moses.
34 And the children of Israel did according to all that the Lord commanded Moses: so they pitched by their standards, and so they set forward, every one after their families, according to the house of their fathers.
