'Census' in the Bible

But it came to pass in those days that a decree went out from Caesar Augustus, that a census should be made of all the habitable world.

The census itself first took place when Cyrenius had the government of Syria.

And all went to be inscribed in the census roll, each to his own city:

to be inscribed in the census roll with Mary who was betrothed to him as his wife, she being great with child.
