'Take a Census' in the Bible

"When you take a census of the children of Israel, according to those who are numbered among them, then each man shall give a ransom for his soul to Yahweh, when you number them; that there be no plague among them when you number them.

"Take a census of all the congregation of the children of Israel, by their families, by their fathers' houses, according to the number of the names, every male, one by one;

"Only the tribe of Levi you shall not number, neither shall you take a census of them among the children of Israel;

"Take a census of the sons of Kohath from among the sons of Levi, by their families, by their fathers' houses,

"Take a census of the sons of Gershon also, by their fathers' houses, by their families;

"Take a census of all the congregation of the children of Israel, from twenty years old and upward, by their fathers' houses, all who are able to go forth to war in Israel."

"[Take a census of the people], from twenty years old and upward; as Yahweh commanded Moses and the children of Israel." These are those that came out of the land of Egypt.
