Num 1
1
And YHWH spoke to Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, in the tent of meeting, 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 you the sum 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, by their
polls;
3
from twenty years old and upward, all that are able to go forth to war in Israel,
you and Aaron shall number them by their hosts.
4
And with you there shall be a man of every tribe; every one head of his fathers` house.
5
And these are the names of the men that shall stand with you. Of Reuben: Elizur the
son of Shedeur.
6
Of Simeon: Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai.

These are they that were called of the congregation, the princes of the tribes of
their fathers; they were the heads of the thousands of Israel.
17
And Moses and Aaron took these men that are mentioned by name:
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 their fathers` houses,
according to the number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, by their polls.
19
As YHWH commanded Moses, so he numbered them in the wilderness of Sinai.

33
those that were numbered of them, of the tribe of Ephraim, were forty thousand and

36
Of the children of Benjamin, their generations, by their families, by their fathers`
houses, 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, of the tribe of Benjamin, were thirty and five thousand
and four hundred.
38
Of the children of Dan, their generations, by their families, by their fathers` houses,
according to the number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, all that were
able to go forth to war;
39
those that were numbered of them, of the tribe of Dan, were threescore and two thousand
and seven hundred.
40
Of the children of Asher, their generations, by their families, by their fathers`

and four hundred.
44
These are they that were numbered, whom Moses and Aaron numbered, and the princes
of Israel, being twelve men: they were each one for his fathers` house.
45
So all they that were numbered of the children of Israel by their fathers` houses,
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 YHWH spoke to Moses, saying,
49
Only the tribe of Levi you shall not number, neither shall you take the sum of them
among the children of Israel;
50
but appoint you the Levites over the tabernacle of the testimony, and over all the
furniture thereof, and over all that belongs to it: they shall bear the tabernacle,
and all its furniture; and they shall minister to it, and shall encamp round
about the tabernacle.
51
And when the tabernacle sets 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 comes
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, according to their hosts.
53
But the Levites shall encamp round about the tabernacle of the testimony, that there
be no anger upon the congregation of the children of Israel: and the Levites shall
keep the charge of the tabernacle of the testimony.
54
Thus did the children of Israel; according to all that YHWH commanded Moses, so did
they.
