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. |
| 6 | Of
Simeon; Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai. |
| 7 | Of Judah; Nahshon the son of Amminadab. |

| 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

were forty and six thousand and five hundred. |
| 22 | Of the children of Simeon, by their generations, after

Those that were numbered of them, even of the tribe of Judah, were threescore
and fourteen thousand and six hundred. |
| 28 | Of the children of Issachar, by their generations,
after their families, by the house of their fathers, according to the number of

| 32 | Of the children of

| 33 | Those that were numbered

| 34 | Of the
children of Manasseh, by their generations, after their families, by the house

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

| 39 | Those that were
numbered of them, even of the tribe of Dan, were threescore and two thousand

43 | Those that were numbered of them, even of the tribe
of Naphtali, were fifty and three thousand and four hundred. |
| 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. |
