Numbers 1

1And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, in the tent of meeting, on the first of the second month, in the second year of their going out of the land of Egypt, saying:

2Take 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;

3from a son of twenty years and upward, every one going out to the host in Israel, ye do number them by their hosts, thou and Aaron;

4and with you there is a man for a tribe, each is a head to the house of his fathers.

5And these are the names of the men who stand with you: 'For Reuben — Elizur son of Shedeur.

6For Simeon — Shelumiel son of Zurishaddai.

7For Judah — Nahshon son of Amminadab.

8For Issachar — Nathaneel son of Zuar.

19as Jehovah hath commanded Moses; and he numbereth them in the wilderness of Sinai.

20And 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 —

44These are those numbered, whom Moses numbered — Aaron also, and the princes of Israel, twelve men — each for the house of his fathers, they have been.

45And they are, all those numbered of the sons of Israel, by the house of their fathers, from a son of twenty years and upward, every one going out to the host in Israel,

46yea, all those numbered are six hundred thousand, and three thousand, and five hundred and fifty.

47And the Levites, for the tribe of their fathers, have not numbered themselves in their midst,

48seeing Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,

49'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;

50and thou, appoint the Levites over the tabernacle of the testimony, and over all its vessels, and over all that it hath; they bear the tabernacle, and all its vessels, and they serve it; and round about the tabernacle they encamp.

51'And in the journeying of the tabernacle, the Levites take it down, and in the encamping of the tabernacle, the Levites raise it up; and the stranger who is coming near is put to death.'

52And the sons of Israel have encamped, each by his camp, and each by his standard, by their hosts;

53and 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.

54And the sons of Israel do according to all that Jehovah hath commanded Moses; so they have done.
