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,

Take ye up the sum of all the company of the sons of Israel by their families, by the house of their fathers, in the number of names -- every male by their polls;

From twenty years old and upward, all that are able to go forth to war in Israel: thou and Aaron shall number them by their armies.

And with you there shall be a man of every tribe; every one head of the house of his fathers.

"And these are the names of the men that shall stand with you: in Reuben, Elizur the son of Shedeur;

In Simeon, Shelumiel: the son of Zurishaddai;

In the tribe of Judah, Nahshon the son of Amminadab;

In Issachar, Nethanel the son of Zuar;

In Zebulun, Eliab the son of Helon.

Among the children of Joseph: In Ephraim, Elishama the son of Ammihud; In Manasseh, Gamaliel the son of Pedahzur;

In Benjamin, Abidan the son of Gedeoni;

In Dan, Ahiezer the son of Ammishaddai;

In Asher, Pagiel the son of Ochran;

In Gad, Eliasaph the son of Deuel;

In Naphtali, Ahira the son of Enan."

These were the renowned of the congregation, princes of the tribes of their fathers, heads of thousands in Israel.

And they assembled all the congregation together on the first day of the second month, and they declared their pedigrees after their families, by the house of their fathers, according to the number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, by their polls.

As the LORD commanded Moses, so he numbered them in the wilderness of Sinai.

And the sons of Reuben, Israel's first-born -- their births, by their families, by the house of their fathers, in the number of names, by their polls, every male from a son of twenty years and upward, every one going out to the host --

were numbered in the tribe of Reuben, forty six thousand and five hundred.

Of the sons of Simeon -- their births, by their families, by the house of their fathers, its numbered ones in the number of names, by their polls, every male from a son of twenty years and upward, every one going out to the host --

were numbered in the tribe of Simeon forty nine thousand and three hundred.

Of the sons of Gad -- their births, by their families, by the house of their fathers, in the number of names, from a son of twenty years and upward, every one going out to the host --

were numbered in the tribe of Gad forty five thousand, six hundred and fifty.

Of the sons of Judah -- their births, by their families, by the house of their fathers, in the number of names, from a son of twenty years and upward, every one going out to the host --

were told in the tribe of Judah seventy four thousand and six hundred.

Of the sons of Issachar -- their births, by their families, by the house of their fathers, in the number of names, from a son of twenty years and upward, every one going out to the host --

were numbered in the tribe of Issachar fifty four thousand and four hundred.

Of the sons of Zebulun -- their births, by their families, by the house of their fathers, in the number of names, from a son of twenty years and upward, every one going out to the host --

were counted in the tribe of Zebulun fifty seven thousand and four hundred.

Of the sons of Joseph -- of the sons of Ephraim -- their births, by their families, by the house of their fathers, in the number of names, from a son of twenty years and upward, every one going out to the host --

were in number in the tribe of Ephraim, forty thousand, and six hundred.

Of the sons of Manasseh -- their births, by their families, by the house of their fathers, in the number of names, from a son of twenty years and upward, every one going out to the host --

from twenty and above - were numbered in the tribe of Manasseh thirty two thousand and two hundred.

Of the sons of Benjamin -- their births, by their families, by the house of their fathers, in the number of names, from a son of twenty years and upward, every one going out to the host --

were numbered in the tribe of Benjamin thirty five thousand and four hundred.

Of the sons of Dan -- their births, by their families, by the house of their fathers, in the number of names, from a son of twenty years and upward, every one going out to the host --

from twenty years and above - were numbered in the tribe of Dan fifty seven thousand and seven hundred.

Of the sons of Asher -- their births, by their families, by the house of their fathers, in the number of names, from a son of twenty years and upward, every one going out to the host --

Those that were numbered of them, even of the tribe of Asher, were forty and one thousand and five hundred.

Of the sons of Naphtali -- their births, by their families, by the house of their fathers, in the number of names, from a son of twenty years and upward, every one going out to the host --

were numbered in the tribe of Naphtali fifty three thousand and four hundred.

These are those that were numbered, which Moses and Aaron numbered, and the princes of Israel, being twelve men: each one was for the house of his fathers.

So were all those that were numbered of the children of Israel, by the house of their fathers, from twenty years old and upward, all that were able to go forth to war in Israel;

And the Levites, for the tribe of their fathers, have not numbered themselves in their midst,

'Only, the tribe of Levi thou dost not number, and their sum thou dost not take up in the midst of the sons of Israel;

But appoint the Levites over the tabernacle (sanctuary) of the Testimony, and over all its furnishings and all things that belong to it. They shall carry the tabernacle [when traveling] and all its furnishings, and they shall take care of it and camp around it.

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.

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.

and the Levites encamp round about the tabernacle of the testimony; and there is no wrath on the company of the sons of Israel, and the Levites have kept the charge of the tabernacle of the testimony.

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.

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.

Those in his division number 74,600.

Those in his division number 54,400.

Those in his division number 57,400.

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.

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.

Those in his division number 46,500.

Those in his division number 59,300.

Those in his division number 45,650.

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.

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.

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.

Those in his division number 40,500.

Those in his division number 32,200.

Those in his division number 35,400.

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.

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.

Those in his division number 62,700.

And his host, and those that were numbered of them, were forty and one thousand and five hundred.

Those in his division number 53,400.

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.

These are the men of the Israelites [twenty years old and upward] as numbered by their fathers’ households. The total of the numbered men of the camps by their armies, 603,550.

And the Levites have not numbered themselves in the midst of the sons of Israel, as Jehovah hath commanded Moses.

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.

These also are the generations of Aaron and Moses in the day that the LORD spake with Moses in mount Sinai.

These are the names of the sons of Aaron, the priests which were anointed, whom he consecrated to minister in the priest's office.

And Nadab and Abihu died before the LORD, when they offered strange fire before the LORD, in the wilderness of Sinai, and they had no children: and Eleazar and Ithamar ministered in the priest's office in the sight of Aaron their father.

In order that they may be responsible to him and to all Israel for the care of the Tent of meeting, and to do the work of the House;

They shall also take care of all the furnishings and utensils of the Tent of Meeting, and [attend to] the duties of the Israelites, doing the service of the tabernacle.

And thou shalt give the Levites unto Aaron and to his sons: they are wholly given unto him on the behalf of the children of Israel.

And thou shalt appoint Aaron and his sons, and they shall wait on their priest's office: and the stranger that cometh nigh shall be put to death.

"I [myself] receive the Levites from the midst of the {Israelites} in the place of all [the] firstborn of [the] offspring of the womb from the {Israelites}. The Levites will be mine

Because all the firstborn are mine; for on the day that I smote all the firstborn in the land of Egypt I hallowed unto me all the firstborn in Israel, both man and beast: mine shall they be: I am the LORD.

And the LORD spake unto Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, saying,

"Muster the descendants of Levi according to {their families}, according to their clans. You will count every male from {one month} and above."

So Moses registered them in obedience to the Lord as he had been commanded:

And these are the names of the children of Gershon in their kindreds: Libni and Shimei.

And the sons of Kohath in their kindred were Amram, Izhar, Hebron and Uzziel.

And the sons of Merari by their families: Mahli and Mushi. These are the families of the Levites in the order of their fathers' houses.

Their numbered ones, in number, every male from a son of a month and upward, their numbered ones are seven thousand and five hundred.

The families of the Gershonites were to camp behind the tabernacle on the west,

And the charge of the sons of Gershon in the tabernacle of the congregation shall be the tabernacle, and the tent, the covering thereof, and the hanging for the door of the tabernacle of the congregation,

the hangings at the courtyard, the curtain at the entrance of the courtyard that surrounded the tent, the altar, and all of the tent cords in use.

In the number of all the males, from a month old and upward, were eight thousand and six hundred, keeping the charge of the sanctuary.

The families of the sons of Kohath shall pitch on the side of the tabernacle southward.

And the captain in the most ancient house of the kindreds of the Kohathites, was Elizaphan the son of Uzziel;

In their care are the ark, and the table, and the lights, and the altars, and all the vessels used in the holy place, and the veil, and all they are used for.

The chief of all the leaders of the descendants of Levi was Aaron the priest's son Eleazar. He was assigned to oversee those who were in charge of the services of the sanctuary.

And their numbered ones, in number, all the males from a son of a month and upward, are six thousand and two hundred.
