Numbers Chapter 1

Numbers Chapter 1
1 The Lord spake again unto Moses in
the wilderness of Sinai, in the tabernacle
of the congregation, in the first day of the
second month, in the second year after
they were come out of the land of Egypt,
saying, 2 Take ye the sum of all the
congregation of the children of Israel,
after their families, and households of
their fathers with the number of their
names: to wit, all the males, man by
man:
3 From twenty year old and above, all
that go forth to the war in Israel, thou
and Aaron shall number them, throughout
their armies.
4 And with you shall be men of every
tribe, such as are the heads of the house
of their fathers.
5 And these are the names of the men
that shall stand with you, of the tribe of
Reuben, Elizur, the son of Shedeur:
6 Of Simeon, Shelumiel the son of
Zurishaddai:
7 Of Judah, Nahshon the son of
Amminadab:
8 Of Issachar, Nethanel, the son of Zuar:
9 Of Zebulun, Eliab, the son of Helon:
10 Of the children of Joseph: of
Ephraim, Elishama the son of Ammihud:
of Manasseh, Gamaliel, the son of
Pedahzur:
11 Of Benjamin, Abidan the son of
Gideoni:
12 Of Dan, Ahiezer, the son of
Ammishaddai:
13 Of Asher, Pagiel, the son of Ocran:
14 Of Gad, Eliasaph, the son of Deuel:
15 Of Naphtali, Ahira the son of Enan.
16 These were famous in the
congregation, princes of the tribes of
their fathers, and heads over thousands
in Israel.
17 Then Moses and Aaron took these
men which are expressed
by their names.
18 And they called all the congregation
together, in the first day of the second
month, who declared their kindreds by
their families, and by the houses of their
fathers, according to the number of their
names, from twenty year old and above,
man by man.
19 As the Lord had commanded Moses,
so he numbered them in the
wilderness of Sinai.
20 So were the sons of Reuben Israel’s
eldest son by their generations, by their
families, and by the houses of their
fathers, according to the number of their
names, man by man every male from
twenty year old and above, as many as
went forth to war:
21 The number of them, I say, of the
tribe of Reuben, was six and forty
thousand, and five hundred.
22 Of the sons of Simeon by their
generations, by their families, and by the
houses of their fathers, the sum thereof
by the number of their names, man by
man, every male from twenty year old
and above, all that went forth to war: 23
The sum of them , I say, of the tribe of
Simeon was nine and fifty thousand, and
three hundred.
24 Of the sons of Gad by their
generations, by their families, and by the
houses of their fathers, according to the
number of their names, from twenty year
old and above, all that went forth to war:
25 The number of them, I say, of the
tribe of Gad was five and forty thousand,
and six hundred and fifty.
26 Of the sons of Judah by their
generations, by their families , and by
the houses of their fathers, according to
the number of their names, from twenty
year old and above, all that went forth to
war:
27 The number of them, I say, of the
tribe of Judah was three score and
fourteen thousand, and six hundred.
28 Of the sons of Issachar by their
generations, by their families, and by the
houses of their fathers, according to the
number of their names, from twenty year
old and above, all that went forth to war:
29 The number of them also of the tribe
of Issachar was four and fifty thousand
and four hundred.
30 Of the sons of Zebulun by their
generations, by their families, and by the
houses of their fathers, according to the
number of their names, from twenty year
old and above, all that went forth to war:
31 The number of them also of the tribe
of Zebulun was seven and fifty thousand
and four hundred.
32 Of the sons of Joseph , namely of the
sons of Ephraim by their generations, by
their families, and by the houses of their
fathers, according to the number of their
names, from twenty year old and above,
all that went forth to war: 33 The
number of them also of the tribe of
Ephraim was forty thousand and five
hundred.
34 Of the sons of Manasseh by their
generations, by their families, and by the
houses of their fathers, according to the
number of their names, from twenty year
old and above, all that went forth to war:
35 The number of them also of the tribe
of Manasseh was two and thirty thousand
and two hundred.
36 Of the sons of Benjamin by their
generations, by their families, and by the
houses of their fathers, according to the
number of their names, from twenty year
old and above, all that went forth to war:
37 The number of them also of the tribe
of Benjamin was five and thirty thousand
and four hundred.
38 Of the sons of Dan by their
generations, by their families, and by the
houses of their fathers, according to the
number of their names, from twenty year
old and above, all that went forth to war:
39 The number of them also of the tribe
of Dan was three score and two thousand
and seven hundred.
40 Of the sons of Asher by their
generations, by their families, and by the
houses of their fathers, according to the
number of their names, from twenty year
old and above, all that went forth to war:
41 The number of them also of the tribe
of Asher was one and forty thousand and
five hundred.
42 Of the children of Naphtali, by their
generations, by their families, and by the
houses of their fathers, according to the
number of their names, from twenty year
old and above, all that went to the war:
43 The number of them also of the tribe
of Naphtali, was three and fifty thousand,
and four hundred.
44 These are the sums which Moses, and
Aaron numbered, and the Princes of
Israel, the twelve men, which were
every one for the house of their fathers.
45 So this was all the sum of the sons of
Israel, by the houses of their fathers,
from twenty year old and above, all that
went to the war in Israel, 46 And all they
were in number six hundred and three
thousand, five hundred and fifty.
47 But the Levites, after the tribes of
their fathers were not numbered among
them.
48 For the Lord had spoken unto Moses,
and said,
49 Only thou shalt not number the tribe
of Levi, neither take the sum of them
among the children of Israel:
50 But thou shalt appoint the Levites
over the tabernacle of the testimony, and
over all the instruments thereof, and over
all things that belong to it: they shall
bear the tabernacle, and all the
instruments thereof, and shall minister in
it, and shall dwell round about the
tabernacle.
51 And when the tabernacle goeth forth,
the Levites shall take it down: and when
the tabernacle is to be pitched, the
Levites shall set it up: for the stranger
that cometh near, shall be slain.
52 Also the children of Israel shall pitch
their tents, every man in his camp, and
every man under his standard throughout
their armies.
53 But the Levites shall pitch round
about the tabernacle of the testimony,
lest vengeance come upon the
congregation of the children of Israel,
and the Levites shall take the charge of
the tabernacle of the testimony. 54 So the
children of Israel did according to all
that the Lord had commanded Moses: so
did they.
