Beginning
1 Again, the LORD spoke to Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, in the Tabernacle of the Congregation, on the first of the second month, in the second year after they had come out of the land of Egypt, saying,
2 “Take the sum of all the Congregation of the children of Israel, after their families and households of their fathers, with the number of their names—all the males, man by man,
3 “from twenty years old and above—all that go forth to the war in Israel. You and Aaron shall number them throughout their armies.
4 “And with you shall be men of every tribe, such as are the heads of the House of their fathers.
5 “And these are the names of the men that shall stand with you: of Reuben, Elizur, the son of Shedeur;
6 “of Simeon, Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai;
7 “of Judah, Nahshon the son of Amminadab;
8 “of Issachar, Nethanel the son of Zuar;
9 “of Zebulun, Eliab, the son of Helon;
10 “(of the children of Joseph) of Ephraim, Elishama the son of Ammihud; of Manasseh, Gamaliel, the son of Pedahzur;
11 “of Benjamin, Abidan the son of Gideoni;
12 “of Dan, Ahiezer, the son of Ammishaddai;
13 “of Asher, Pagiel, the son of Ocran;
14 “of Gad, Eliasaph the son of Deuel;
15 “of Naphtali, Ahira the son of Enan.”
16 These were famous in the Congregation, princes of the tribes of their fathers, heads over thousands in Israel.
17 Then Moses and Aaron took these men who are expressed by name.
18 And they called all the Congregation together on the first of the second month, who declared their kindred by their families, by the Houses of their fathers, according to the number of names, from twenty years old and above, man by man.
19 As the LORD had commanded Moses, so he numbered them in the wilderness of Sinai.
20 So were the sons of Reuben, Israel’s eldest son, by their generations, by their families, by the Houses of their fathers, according to the number of names, man by man, every male from twenty years old and above, as many as went forth to war.
21 The number of those of the tribe of Reuben was forty-six thousand five hundred.
22 Of the sons of Simeon, by their generations, by their families, by the Houses of their fathers—the sum of them, by the number of names, man by man, every male from twenty years old and above, all that went forth to war—
23 the sum of those of the tribe of Simeon was fifty-nine thousand three hundred.
24 Of the sons of Gad, by their generations, by their families, by the Houses of their fathers—according to the number of names, from twenty years old and above, all that went forth to war—
25 the number of those of the tribe of Gad was forty-five thousand six hundred and fifty.
26 Of the sons of Judah, by their generations, by their families, by the Houses of their fathers—according to the number of names, from twenty years old and above, all that went forth to war—
27 the number of those of the tribe of Judah was seventy-four thousand six hundred.
28 Of the sons of Issachar, by their generations, by their families, by the Houses of their fathers—according to the number of names, from twenty years old and above, all that went forth to war—
29 the number of those of the tribe of Issachar was fifty-four thousand four hundred.
30 Of the sons of Zebulun, by their generations, by their families, by the Houses of their fathers—according to the number of names, from twenty years old and above, all that went forth to war—
31 the number of those of the tribe of Zebulun was fifty-seven thousand four hundred.
32 Of the sons of Joseph (namely of the sons of Ephraim), by their generations, by their families, by the Houses of their fathers—according to the number of names, from twenty years old and above, all that went forth to war—
33 the number of those of the tribe of Ephraim was forty thousand five hundred.
34 Of the sons of Manasseh, by their generations, by their families, by the Houses of their fathers—according to the number of names, from twenty years old and above, all that went forth to war—
35 the number of those of the tribe of Manasseh was thirty-two thousand two hundred.
36 Of the sons of Benjamin, by their generations, by their families, by the Houses of their fathers—according to the number of names, from twenty years old and above, all that went forth to war—
37 the number of those of the tribe of Benjamin was thirty-five thousand four hundred.
38 Of the sons of Dan, by their generations, by their families, by the Houses of their fathers—according to the number of names, from twenty years old and above, all that went forth to war—
39 the number of those of the tribe of Dan was sixty-two thousand seven hundred.
40 Of the sons of Asher, by their generations, by their families, by the Houses of their fathers—according to the number of names, from twenty years old and above, all that went forth to war—
41 the number of those of the tribe of Asher was forty-one thousand five hundred.
42 Of the children of Naphtali, by their generations, by their families, by the Houses of their fathers—according to the number of names, from twenty years old and above, all that went to the war—
43 the number of those of the tribe of Naphtali was fifty-three thousand four hundred.
44 These are the sums which Moses and Aaron numbered, and the Princes of Israel (twelve men, each representing the House of their fathers).
45 So was all the sum of the sons of Israel, by the Houses of their fathers, from twenty years old and above, all that went to the war in Israel.
46 And they were altogether in number six hundred-three thousand five hundred fifty.
47 But the Levites, after the tribes of their fathers, were not included among them.
48 For the LORD had spoken to Moses, and said,
49 “Only you shall not include the tribe of Levi, nor take a census of them among the children of Israel.
50 “But you shall appoint the Levites over the Tabernacle of the Testimony, and over all of its instruments, and over all things that belong to it. They shall bear the Tabernacle and all its instruments, and shall minister in it, and shall dwell all around the Tabernacle.
51 “And when the Tabernacle goes forth, the Levites shall take it down. And when the Tabernacle is to be pitched, the Levites shall set it up. For the stranger who comes near shall be killed.
52 “Also, the children of Israel shall pitch their tents, every man in his own camp, and every man under his own standard, throughout their armies.
53 “But the Levites shall pitch all around the Tabernacle of the Testimony, lest vengeance come upon the Congregation of the children of Israel. And the Levites shall take charge of the Tabernacle of the Testimony.”
54 So the children of Israel did according to all that the LORD had Commanded Moses. So did they.
2 And the LORD spoke to Moses, and to Aaron, saying,
2 “Every man of the children of Israel shall camp by his standard, under the banner of their father’s House. Far off, around the Tabernacle of the Congregation, they shall pitch.
3 “On the east side, toward the rising of the Sun, shall they of the standard of the camp of Judah pitch (according to their armies) and Nahshon, the son of Amminadab, captain of the sons of Judah,
4 “and his army, shall be numbered at seventy-four thousand six hundred.
5 “Next to him shall they of the tribe of Issachar pitch. And Nethanel, the son of Zuar, shall be the captain of the sons of Issachar.”
6 “And his army shall be numbered at fifty-four thousand four hundred.
7 “The tribe of Zebulun, and Eliab, the son of Helon, captain over the sons of Zebulun,
8 “and his army, shall be numbered at fifty-seven thousand four hundred.
9 “The whole number of the army of Judah—one hundred eighty-six thousand four hundred, according to their armies—they 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 over the sons of Reuben shall be Elizur, the son of Shedeur.”
11 “And his army shall be numbered at forty-six thousand five hundred.
12 “And near him shall the tribe of Simeon pitch. And the captain over the sons of Simeon shall be Shelumiel, the son of Zurishaddai.”
13 “And his army shall be numbered at fifty-nine thousand three hundred.
14 “And the tribe of Gad. And the captain over the sons of Gad shall be Eliasaph, the son of Deuel.”
15 “And his army shall be numbered at forty-five thousand, six hundred fifty.
16 “All the number of the camp of Reuben shall be one-hundred-fifty thousand four hundred fifty, according to their armies. And they shall set forth in the second place.
17 “Then, the Tabernacle of the Congregation shall go with the camp of the Levites. In the midst of the camp, as they have pitched, so shall they go forward, every man in his order, according to their banners.
18 “The banner of the camp of Ephraim shall be toward the west, according to their armies. The captain over the sons of Ephraim shall be Elishama, the son of Ammihud.”
19 “And his army shall be numbered at forty thousand five hundred.
20 “And next to him shall be the tribe of Manasseh. And the captain over the sons of Manasseh shall be Gamaliel, the son of Pedahzur.
21 “And his army shall be numbered at thirty-two thousand two hundred.
22 “And the tribe of Benjamin (and the captain over the sons of Benjamin: Abidan, the son of Gideoni,
23 “and his army), their number is thirty-five thousand four hundred.
24 “All the camp of Ephraim is numbered at one hundred eight thousand one hundred, according to their armies. And they shall go in the third place.
25 “The banner of the camp of Dan shall be toward the north, according to their armies. And the captain over the children of Dan shall be Ahiezer, the son of Ammishaddai.
26 “And his army shall be numbered at sixty-two thousand seven hundred.
27 “And next to him shall the tribe of Asher pitch, and the captain over the sons of Asher, Pagiel, the son of Ocran.
28 “And his army shall be numbered at forty-one thousand five hundred.
29 “Then, the tribe of Naphtali—and the captain over the children of Naphtali: Ahira, the son of Enan,
30 “and his army—which shall number fifty-three thousand four hundred.
31 “All the camp of Dan— one hundred-fifty-seven thousand six hundred—shall go last, with their banners.”
32 These are the sums of the children of Israel, by the Houses of their fathers—all the number of the camp, according to their armies—six hundred three thousand five hundred fifty.
33 But the Levites were not numbered among the children of Israel, as the LORD had commanded Moses.
34 And the children of Israel did according to all that the LORD had commanded Moses. So they pitched according to their banners. And so everyone journeyed with his families, according to the Houses of their fathers.
