The Scriptures (ISR 1998) 1And יהוה spoke to Mosheh in the Wilderness of Sinai, in the Tent of Meeting, on the first day of the second month, in the second year after they had come out of the land of Mitsrayim, saying, 2“Take a census of all the congregation of the children of Yisra’ĕl, by their clans, by their fathers’ houses, according to the number of names, every male, head by head, 3from twenty years old and above, everyone going out to the army in Yisra’ĕl. Number them by their divisions, you and Aharon. 4“And a man from every tribe should be with you, each one the head of his father’s house. 5“And these are the names of the men who stand with you. From Re’uḇĕn: Elitsur, son of Sheḏĕy’ur. 6“From Shim‛on: Shelumi’ĕl, son of Tsurishaddai. 7“From Yehuḏah: Naḥshon, son of Amminaḏaḇ. 8“From Yissasḵar: Nethanĕ’l, son of Tsu‛ar. 9“From Zeḇulun: Eliyaḇ, son of Ḥĕlon. 10“From the sons of Yosĕph: From Ephrayim: Elishama, son of Ammihuḏ. From Menashsheh: Gamli’ĕl, son of Peḏahtsur. 11“From Binyamin: Aḇiḏan, son of Giḏ‛oni. 12“From Dan: Aḥi‛ezer, son of Ammishaddai. 13“From Ashĕr: Pag̅‛i’ĕl, son of Oḵran. 14“From Gaḏ: Elyasaph, son of Deu’ĕl. 15“From Naphtali: Aḥira, son of Ěnan.” 16These are the ones called from the congregation, leaders of their fathers’ tribes, heads of the thousands of Yisra’ĕl. 17And Mosheh and Aharon took these men who were called by name, 18and they assembled all the congregation together on the first day of the second month. And they declared their ancestry by clans, by their fathers’ houses, according to the number of names, from twenty years old and above, each one head by head. 19As יהוה commanded Mosheh, so he registered them in the Wilderness of Sinai. 20And the children of Re’uḇĕn, Yisra’ĕl’s first-born, their genealogies by their clans, by their fathers’ house, according to the number of names, every male head by head, from twenty years old and above, everyone going out to the army, 21those who were registered of the tribe of Re’uḇĕn were forty-six thousand five hundred. 22From the children of Shim‛on, their genealogies by their clans, by their fathers’ house, of those who were registered, according to the number of names, every male head by head, from twenty years old and above, everyone going out to the army, 23those who were registered of the tribe of Shim‛on were fifty-nine thousand three hundred. 24From the children of Gaḏ, their genealogies by their clans, by their fathers’ house, according to the number of names, from twenty years old and above, everyone going out to the army, 25those who were registered of the tribe of Gaḏ were forty-five thousand six hundred and fifty. 26From the children of Yehuḏah, their genealogies by their clans, by their fathers’ house, according to the number of names, from twenty years old and above, everyone going out to the army, 27those who were registered of the tribe of Yehuḏah were seventy-four thousand six hundred. 28From the children of Yissasḵar, their genealogies by their clans, by their fathers’ house, according to the number of names, from twenty years old and above, everyone going out to the army, 29those who were registered of the tribe of Yissasḵar were fifty-four thousand four hundred. 30From the children of Zeḇulun, their genealogies by their clans, by their fathers’ house, according to the number of names, from twenty years old and above, everyone going out to the army, 31those who were registered of the tribe of Zeḇulun were fifty-seven thousand four hundred. 32From the sons of Yosĕph, the children of Ephrayim, their genealogies by their clans, by their fathers’ house, according to the number of names, from twenty years old and above, everyone going out to the army, 33those who were registered of the tribe of Ephrayim were forty thousand five hundred. 34From the children of Menashsheh, their genealogies by their clans, by their fathers’ house, according to the number of names, from twenty years old and above, everyone going out to the army, 35those who were registered of the tribe of Menashsheh were thirty-two thousand two hundred. 36From the children of Binyamin, their genealogies by their clans, by their fathers’ house, according to the number of names, from twenty years old and above, everyone going out to the army, 37those who were registered of the tribe of Binyamin were thirty-five thousand four hundred. 38From the children of Dan, their genealogies by their clans, by their fathers’ house, according to the number of names, from twenty years old and above, everyone going out to the army, 39those who were registered of the tribe of Dan were sixty-two thousand seven hundred. 40From the children of Ashĕr, their genealogies by their clans, by their fathers’ house, according to the number of names, from twenty years old and above, everyone going out to the army, 41those who were registered of the tribe of Ashĕr were forty-one thousand five hundred. 42From the children of Naphtali, their genealogies by their clans, by their fathers’ house, according to the number of names, from twenty years old and above, everyone going out to the army, 43those who were registered of the tribe of Naphtali were fifty-three thousand four hundred. 44These were those registered, whom Mosheh and Aharon registered, with the leaders of Yisra’ĕl, twelve men, each one for his father’s house. 45And all those that were registered of the children of Yisra’ĕl, by their fathers’ houses, from twenty years old and above, everyone going out to the army in Yisra’ĕl, 46all those that were registered were six hundred and three thousand five hundred and fifty. 47But the Lĕwites were not registered among them by their fathers’ tribe, 48because יהוה had spoken to Mosheh, saying, 49“Only the tribe of Lĕwi you do not register, nor take a census of them among the children of Yisra’ĕl. 50“Instead, appoint the Lĕwites over the Dwelling Place of the Witness, over all its furnishings, and over all that belongs to it. They bear the Dwelling Place and all its furnishings, and they attend to it, and camp around the Dwelling Place. 51“And when the Dwelling Place is to go forward, the Lĕwites take it down. And when the Dwelling Place is to be set up, the Lĕwites set it up. And the stranger who comes near is put to death. 52“And the children of Yisra’ĕl shall pitch their tents, everyone by his own camp, everyone by his own banner, according to their divisions, 53but let the Lĕwites camp around the Dwelling Place of the Witness, so that there be no wrath on the congregation of the children of Yisra’ĕl. And the Lĕwites shall guard the duty of the Dwelling Place of the Witness.” 54And the children of Yisra’ĕl did according to all that יהוה commanded Mosheh, so they did. |
