Chapter 1 |
| 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; |
| 3 |
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.
|
| 4 | And with you there shall be a man of every tribe; every one head of the
house of his fathers. |
| 5 | And these are the names of the men that shall
stand with you: of the tribe of Reuben; Elizur the son of Shedeur. |

| 17
| And Moses and Aaron took these men which are expressed by
their names: |
|
18 | 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. |
| 19 | As the
LORD commanded Moses, so he numbered them in the wilderness of Sinai.
|
| 20 | And the children of Reuben, Israel's eldest son, by their generations,
after their families, by the house of their fathers, according to the number of
the names, by their polls, every male from twenty years old and upward, all

| 33 | Those that were numbered of them, even of

| 34 | Of the
children of Manasseh, by their generations, after their families, by the house
of their fathers, according to the number of the names, from twenty years old
and upward, all that were able to go forth to war; |
| 35 | Those that
were numbered of them, even of the tribe of Manasseh, were thirty and two
thousand and two hundred. |
|
36 | Of the children of Benjamin, by their
generations, after their families, by the house of their fathers, according to
the number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, all that were able
to go forth to war; |
| 37 | Those that were numbered of them, even of
the tribe of Benjamin, were thirty and five thousand and four hundred.
|
| 38 | Of the children of Dan, by their generations, after their families, by
the house of their fathers, according to the number of the names, from twenty

Those that were numbered of them, even of the tribe of Dan, were threescore and

|
| 44 | 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. |
| 45
| 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; |
|
46 | Even all they that were
numbered were six hundred thousand and three thousand and five hundred and
fifty. |
| 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. |
