| 1[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 1A year after Israel’s departure from Egypt, the LORD spoke to Moses in the Tabernacle in the wilderness of Sinai. On the first day of the second month of that year he said, |
| 2[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 2“From the whole community of Israel, record the names of all the warriors by their clans and families. List all the men |
| 3[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 3twenty years old or older who are able to go to war. You and Aaron must register the troops, |
| 4[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 4and you will be assisted by one family leader from each tribe. |
| 5[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 5“These are the tribes and the names of the leaders who will assist you: Tribe Leader Reuben Elizur son of Shedeur |
| 6[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 6Simeon Shelumiel son of Zurishaddai |

| 15[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 15Naphtali Ahira son of Enan |
| 16[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 16These are the chosen leaders of the community, the leaders of their ancestral tribes, the heads of the clans of Israel.” |
| 17[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 17So Moses and Aaron called together these chosen leaders, |
| 18[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 18and they assembled the whole community of Israel on that very day. All the people were registered according to their ancestry by their clans and families. The men of Israel who were twenty years old or older were listed one by one, |
| 19[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 19just as the LORD had commanded Moses. So Moses recorded their names in the wilderness of Sinai. |
| 20[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 20This is the number of men twenty years old or older who were able to go to war, as their names were listed in the records of their clans and families : Tribe Number Reuben (Jacob’s oldest son) 46,500 |

| 43[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 43 |
| 44[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 44These were the men registered by Moses and Aaron and the twelve leaders of Israel, all listed according to their ancestral descent. |
| 45[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 45They were registered by families—all the men of Israel who were twenty years old or older and able to go to war. |
| 46[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 46The total number was 603,550. |
| 47[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 47But this total did not include the Levites. |
| 48[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 48For the LORD had said to Moses, |
| 49[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 49“Do not include the tribe of Levi in the registration; do not count them with the rest of the Israelites. |
| 50[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 50Put the Levites in charge of the Tabernacle of the Covenant, along with all its furnishings and equipment. They must carry the Tabernacle and all its furnishings as you travel, and they must take care of it and camp around it. |
| 51[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 51Whenever it is time for the Tabernacle to move, the Levites will take it down. And when it is time to stop, they will set it up again. But any unauthorized person who goes too near the Tabernacle must be put to death. |
| 52[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 52Each tribe of Israel will camp in a designated area with its own family banner. |
| 53[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 53But the Levites will camp around the Tabernacle of the Covenant to protect the community of Israel from the LORD’s anger. The Levites are responsible to stand guard around the Tabernacle.” |
| 54[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 54So the Israelites did everything just as the LORD had commanded Moses. |
