1Then the LORD<3068> spoke<1696> to Moses<4872> in the wilderness<4057> of Sinai<5514>, in the tent<168> of meeting<4150>, on the first<259> of the second<8145> month, in the second<8145> year<8141> after they had come<3318> out of the land<776> of Egypt<4714>, saying<559>,
2"Take<5375> a census<7218> of all<3605> the congregation<5712> of the sons<1121> of Israel<3478>, by their families<4940>, by their fathers'<1> households<1004>, according to the number<4557> of names<8034>, every<3605> male<2145>, head<1538> by head<1538>
3from twenty<6242> years<8141> old<1121> and upward<4605>, whoever<3605> is able to go<3318> out to war<6635> in Israel<3478>, you and Aaron<175> shall number<6485> them by their armies<6635>.
4"With you, moreover, there shall be a man<376> of each<376> tribe<4294>, each<376> one<376> head<7218> of his father's<1> household<1004>.
5"These<428> then are the names<8034> of the men<376> who<834> shall stand<5975> with you: of Reuben<7205>, Elizur<468> the son<1121> of Shedeur<7707>;
6of Simeon<8095>, Shelumiel<8017> the son<1121> of Zurishaddai<6701>;
7of Judah<3063>, Nahshon<5177> the son<1121> of Amminadab<5992>;
8of Issachar<3485>, Nethanel<5417> the son<1121> of Zuar<6686>;
9of Zebulun<2074>, Eliab<446> the son<1121> of Helon<2497>;
10of the sons<1121> of Joseph<3130>: of Ephraim<669>, Elishama<476> the son<1121> of Ammihud<5989>; of Manasseh<4519>, Gamaliel<1583> the son<1121> of Pedahzur<6301>;
11of Benjamin<1144>, Abidan<27> the son<1121> of Gideoni<1441>;
12of Dan<1835>, Ahiezer<295> the son<1121> of Ammishaddai<5996>;

14of Gad<1410>, Eliasaph<460> the son<1121> of Deuel<1845>;
15of Naphtali<5321>, Ahira<299> the son<1121> of Enan<5881>.
16"These<428> are they who<7148> were called<7148> of the congregation<5712>, the leaders<5387> of their fathers'<1> tribes<4294>; they were the heads<7218> of divisions<505> of Israel<3478>."
17So Moses<4872> and Aaron<175> took<3947> these<428> men<376> who<834> had been designated<5344> by name<8034>,
18and they assembled<6950> all<3605> the congregation<5712> together on the first<259> of the second<8145> month<2320>. Then they registered<3205> by ancestry<3205> in their families<4940>, by their fathers'<1> households<1004>, according to the number<4557> of names<8034>, from twenty<6242> years<8141> old<1121> and upward<4605>, head<1538> by head<1538>,
19just<3512> as the LORD<3068> had commanded<6680> Moses<4872>. So he numbered<6485> them in the wilderness<4057> of Sinai<5514>.
20Now the sons<1121> of Reuben<7205>, Israel's<3478> firstborn<1060>, their genealogical<8435> registration<8435> by their families<4940>, by their fathers'<1> households<1004>, according to the number<4557> of names<8034>, head<1538> by head<1538>, every<3605> male<2145> from twenty<6242> years<8141> old<1121> and upward<4605>, whoever<3605> was able to go<3318> out to war<6635>,

25their numbered<6485> men of the tribe<4294> of Gad<1410> were 45,650 <2568><705><505><8337><3967><2572>.

45So all<3605> the numbered<6485> men of the sons<1121> of Israel<3478> by their fathers'<1> households<1004>, from twenty<6242> years<8141> old<1121> and upward<4605>, whoever<3605> was able to go<3318> out to war<6635> in Israel<3478>,

47The Levites<3881>, however, were not numbered<6485> among<8432> them by their fathers'<1> tribe<4294>.
48For the LORD<3068> had spoken<1696> to Moses<4872>, saying<559>,
49"Only<389> the tribe<4294> of Levi<3878> you shall not number<6485>, nor<3808> shall you take<5375> their census<7218> among<8432> the sons<1121> of Israel<3478>.
50"But you shall appoint<6485> the Levites<3881> over<5921> the tabernacle<4908> of the testimony<5715>, and over<5921> all<3605> its furnishings<3627> and over<5921> all<3605> that belongs to it. They shall carry<5375> the tabernacle<4908> and all<3605> its furnishings<3627>, and they shall take<8334> care<8334> of it; they shall also camp<2583> around<5439> the tabernacle<4908>.
51"So when the tabernacle<4908> is to set<5265> out, the Levites<3881> shall take<3381> it down<3381>; and when the tabernacle<4908> encamps<2583>, the Levites<3881> shall set<6965> it up. But the layman<2114> who comes<7131> near<7131> shall be put<4191> to death<4191>.
52"The sons<1121> of Israel<3478> shall camp<2583>, each<376> man<376> by his own camp<4264>, and each<376> man<376> by his own standard<1714>, according to their armies<6635>.
53"But the Levites<3881> shall camp<2583> around<5439> the tabernacle<4908> of the testimony<5715>, so that there will be no<3808> wrath<7110> on the congregation<5712> of the sons<1121> of Israel<3478>. So the Levites<3881> shall keep<8104> charge<4931> of the tabernacle<4908> of the testimony<5715>."
54Thus the sons<1121> of Israel<3478> did<6213>; according to all<3605> which<834> the LORD<3068> had commanded<6680> Moses<4872>, so<3651> they did<6213>.
