{1:2} "Take a census of all the congregation of the children of
Israel, by their families, by their fathers' houses, according to the
number of the names, every male, one by one; {1:3} from twenty years
old and upward, all who are able to go out to war in Israel. You and
Aaron shall number them by their divisions. {1:4} With you there shall
be a man of every tribe; everyone head of his fathers' house. {1:5}
These are the names of the men who shall stand with you:

thousands of Israel. {1:17} Moses and Aaron took these men who are
mentioned by name. {1:18} They assembled all the congregation together
on the first day of the second month; and they declared their ancestry

the LORD commanded Moses, so he numbered them in the wilderness of
Sinai.

were sixty-four thousand six hundred.
{1:28} Of the children of Issachar, their generations, by their
families, by their fathers' houses, according to the number of the

Issachar, were fifty-four thousand four hundred.
{1:30} Of the children of Zebulun, their generations, by their
families, by their fathers' houses, according to the number of the
names, from twenty years old and upward, all who were able to go out
to war; {1:31} those who were numbered of them, of the tribe of
Zebulun, were fifty-seven thousand four hundred. {1:32} Of the
children of Joseph, of the children of Ephraim, their generations, by
their families, by their fathers' houses, according to the number of
the names, from twenty years old and upward, all who were able to go
out to war; {1:33} those who were numbered of them, of the tribe of
Ephraim, were forty thousand five hundred.
{1:34} Of the children of Manasseh, their generations, by their
families, by their fathers' houses, according to the number of the
names, from twenty years old and upward, all who were able to go out

families, by their fathers' houses, according to the number of the
names, from twenty years old and upward, all who were able to go out
to war; {1:37} those who were numbered of them, of the tribe of

twenty years old and upward, all who were able to go forth to war;
{1:39} those who were numbered of them, of the tribe of Dan, were
sixty-two thousand seven hundred.
{1:40} Of the children of Asher, their generations, by their

names, from twenty years old and upward, all who were able to go forth

Naphtali, were fifty-three thousand four hundred.
{1:44} These are those who were numbered, whom Moses and Aaron
numbered, and the princes of Israel, being twelve men: they were each
one for his fathers' house. {1:45} So all those who were numbered of
the children of Israel by their fathers' houses, from twenty years old
and upward, all who were able to go out to war in Israel; {1:46} even
all those who were numbered were six hundred three thousand five
hundred fifty. {1:47} But the Levites after the tribe of their fathers
were not numbered among them. {1:48} For the LORD spoke to Moses,
saying, {1:49} "Only the tribe of Levi you shall not number, neither
shall you take a census of them among the children of Israel; {1:50}
but appoint the Levites over the Tabernacle of the Testimony, and over
all its furnishings, and over all that belongs to it. They shall carry
the tabernacle, and all its furnishings; and they shall take care of
it, and shall encamp around it. {1:51} When the tabernacle is to move,
the Levites shall take it down; and when the tabernacle is to be set
up, the Levites shall set it up. The stranger who comes near shall be
put to death. {1:52} The children of Israel shall pitch their tents,
every man by his own camp, and every man by his own standard,
according to their divisions. {1:53} But the Levites shall encamp
around the Tabernacle of the Testimony, that there may be no wrath on
the congregation of the children of Israel: and the Levites shall be
responsible for the Tabernacle of the Testimony."
{1:54} Thus the children of Israel did. According to all that the
LORD commanded Moses, so they did.
{2:1} The LORD spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying, {2:2} "The
children of Israel shall encamp every man by his own standard, with
the banners of their fathers' houses: at a distance from the Tent of
Meeting shall they encamp around it."
{2:3} Those who encamp on the east side toward the sunrise shall be
of the standard of the camp of Judah, according to their divisions:
and the prince of the children of Judah shall be Nahshon the son of
Amminadab. {2:4} His division, and those who were numbered of them,
were seventy-four thousand six hundred.
{2:5} Those who encamp next to him shall be the tribe of Issachar:
and the prince of the children of Issachar shall be Nethanel the son
of Zuar. {2:6} His division, and those who were numbered of it, were
fifty-four thousand four hundred.
{2:7} The tribe of Zebulun: and the prince of the children of
Zebulun shall be Eliab the son of Helon. {2:8} His division, and those
who were numbered of it, were fifty-seven thousand four hundred.
{2:9} All who were numbered of the camp of Judah were one hundred
eighty-six thousand four hundred, according to their divisions. They
shall set out first.
{2:10} "On the south side shall be the standard of the camp of
Reuben according to their divisions. The prince of the children of
Reuben shall be Elizur the son of Shedeur. {2:11} His division, and
those who were numbered of it, were forty-six thousand five hundred.
{2:12} "Those who encamp next to him shall be the tribe of Simeon.
The prince of the children of Simeon shall be Shelumiel the son of
Zurishaddai. {2:13} His division, and those who were numbered of them,
were fifty-nine thousand three hundred.
{2:14} "The tribe of Gad: and the prince of the children of Gad
shall be Eliasaph the son of Reuel. {2:15} His division, and those who
were numbered of them, were forty-five thousand six hundred fifty.
{2:16} "All who were numbered of the camp of Reuben were one hundred
fifty-one thousand four hundred fifty, according to their armies. They
shall set out second.
{2:17} "Then the Tent of Meeting shall set out, with the camp of the
Levites in the midst of the camps. As they encamp, so shall they set
out, every man in his place, by their standards.
{2:18} "On the west side shall be the standard of the camp of
Ephraim according to their divisions: and the prince of the children
of Ephraim shall be Elishama the son of Ammihud. {2:19} His division,
and those who were numbered of them, were forty thousand five hundred.
{2:20} "Next to him shall be the tribe of Manasseh: and the prince
of the children of Manasseh shall be Gamaliel the son of Pedahzur.
{2:21} His division, and those who were numbered of them, were
thirty-two thousand two hundred.
{2:22} "The tribe of Benjamin: and the prince of the children of
Benjamin shall be Abidan the son of Gideoni. {2:23} His army, and
those who were numbered of them, were thirty-five thousand four
hundred.
{2:24} "All who were numbered of the camp of Ephraim were one
hundred eight thousand one hundred, according to their divisions. They
shall set out third.
{2:25} "On the north side shall be the standard of the camp of Dan
according to their divisions: and the prince of the children of Dan
shall be Ahiezer the son of Ammishaddai. {2:26} His division, and
those who were numbered of them, were sixty-two thousand seven hundred.
{2:27} "Those who encamp next to him shall be the tribe of Asher:
and the prince of the children of Asher shall be Pagiel the son of

forty-one thousand and five hundred.
{2:29} "The tribe of Naphtali: and the prince of the children of

those who were numbered of them, were fifty-three thousand four
hundred.
{2:31} "All who were numbered of the camp of Dan were one hundred
fifty-seven thousand six hundred. They shall set out last by their
standards."
{2:32} These are those who were numbered of the children of Israel
by their fathers' houses. All who were numbered of the camps according
to their armies were six hundred three thousand five hundred fifty.
{2:33} But the Levites were not numbered among the children of Israel;
as the LORD commanded Moses.
{2:34} Thus the children of Israel did. According to all that the
LORD commanded Moses, so they encamped by their standards, and so they
set out, everyone by their families, according to their fathers'
houses.
{3:1} Now this is the history of the generations of Aaron and Moses
in the day that the LORD spoke with Moses in Mount Sinai. {3:2} These
are the names of the sons of Aaron: Nadab the firstborn, and Abihu,
Eleazar, and Ithamar.
{3:3} These are the names of the sons of Aaron, the priests who were
anointed, whom he consecrated to minister in the priest's office.
{3:4} Nadab and Abihu died before the LORD, when they offered strange
fire before the LORD, in the wilderness of Sinai, and they had no
children. Eleazar and Ithamar ministered in the priest's office in the
presence of Aaron their father.
{3:5} The LORD spoke to Moses, saying, {3:6} "Bring the tribe of
Levi near, and set them before Aaron the priest, that they may
minister to him. {3:7} They shall keep his requirements, and the
requirements of the whole congregation before the Tent of Meeting, to
do the service of the tabernacle. {3:8} They shall keep all the
furnishings of the Tent of Meeting, and the obligations of the
children of Israel, to do the service of the tabernacle. {3:9} You
shall give the Levites to Aaron and to his sons. They are wholly given
to him on the behalf of the children of Israel. {3:10} You shall
appoint Aaron and his sons, and they shall keep their priesthood. The
stranger who comes near shall be put to death."
{3:11} The LORD spoke to Moses, saying, {3:12} "Behold, I have taken
the Levites from among the children of Israel instead of all the
firstborn who open the womb among the children of Israel; and the
Levites shall be mine: {3:13} for all the firstborn are mine. On the
day that I struck down all the firstborn in the land of Egypt I made
holy to me all the firstborn in Israel, both man and animal. They
shall be mine. I am the LORD."
{3:14} The LORD spoke to Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, saying,
{3:15} "Count the children of Levi by their fathers' houses, by their
families. You shall count every male from a month old and upward."
{3:16} Moses numbered them according to the word of the LORD, as he
was commanded.
{3:17} These were the sons of Levi by their names: Gershon, and
Kohath, and Merari.
{3:18} These are the names of the sons of Gershon by their families:
Libni and Shimei.
{3:19} The sons of Kohath by their families: Amram, and Izhar,
Hebron, and Uzziel.
{3:20} The sons of Merari by their families: Mahli and Mushi.
These are the families of the Levites according to their fathers'
houses.
{3:21} Of Gershon was the family of the Libnites, and the family of
the Shimeites: these are the families of the Gershonites.
{3:22} Those who were numbered of them, according to the number of
all the males, from a month old and upward, even those who were
numbered of them were seven thousand five hundred.
{3:23} The families of the Gershonites shall encamp behind the
tabernacle westward.
{3:24} The prince of the fathers' house of the Gershonites shall be
Eliasaph the son of Lael. {3:25} The duty of the sons of Gershon in
the Tent of Meeting shall be the tabernacle, and the tent, its
covering, and the screen for the door of the Tent of Meeting, {3:26}
and the hangings of the court, and the screen for the door of the
court, which is by the tabernacle, and around the altar, and its cords
for all of its service.
{3:27} Of Kohath was the family of the Amramites, and the family of
the Izharites, and the family of the Hebronites, and the family of the
Uzzielites: these are the families of the Kohathites. {3:28} According
to the number of all the males, from a month old and upward, there
were eight thousand six hundred, keeping the requirements of the
sanctuary.
{3:29} The families of the sons of Kohath shall encamp on the south
side of the tabernacle. {3:30} The prince of the fathers' house of the
families of the Kohathites shall be Elizaphan the son of Uzziel.
{3:31} Their duty shall be the ark, the table, the lamp stand, the
altars, the vessels of the sanctuary with which they minister, and the
screen, and all its service. {3:32} Eleazar the son of Aaron the
priest shall be prince of the princes of the Levites, with the
oversight of those who keep the requirements of the sanctuary.
{3:33} Of Merari was the family of the Mahlites, and the family of
the Mushites. These are the families of Merari. {3:34} Those who were
numbered of them, according to the number of all the males, from a
month old and upward, were six thousand two hundred.
{3:35} The prince of the fathers' house of the families of Merari
was Zuriel the son of Abihail. They shall encamp on the north side of
the tabernacle. {3:36} The appointed duty of the sons of Merari shall
be the tabernacle's boards, its bars, its pillars, its sockets, all
its instruments, all its service, {3:37} the pillars of the court
around it, their sockets, their pins, and their cords. {3:38} Those
who encamp before the tabernacle eastward, in front of the Tent of
Meeting toward the sunrise, shall be Moses, and Aaron and his sons,
keeping the requirements of the sanctuary for the duty of the children
of Israel. The stranger who comes near shall be put to death. {3:39}
All who were numbered of the Levites, whom Moses and Aaron numbered at
the commandment of the LORD, by their families, all the males from a
month old and upward, were twenty-two thousand.
{3:40} The LORD said to Moses, "Number all the firstborn males of
the children of Israel from a month old and upward, and take the
number of their names. {3:41} You shall take the Levites for me (I am
the LORD) instead of all the firstborn among the children of Israel;
and the livestock of the Levites instead of all the firstborn among
the livestock of the children of Israel."
{3:42} Moses numbered, as the LORD commanded him, all the firstborn
among the children of Israel. {3:43} All the firstborn males according
to the number of names, from a month old and upward, of those who were
numbered of them, were twenty-two thousand two hundred seventy-three.
{3:44} The LORD spoke to Moses, saying, {3:45} "Take the Levites
instead of all the firstborn among the children of Israel, and the
livestock of the Levites instead of their livestock; and the Levites
shall be mine. I am the LORD. {3:46} For the redemption of the two
hundred seventy-three of the firstborn of the children of Israel, who
exceed the number of the Levites, {3:47} you shall take five shekels
apiece for each one; after the shekel of the sanctuary you shall take
them (the shekel is twenty gerahs): {3:48} and you shall give the
money, with which their remainder is redeemed, to Aaron and to his
sons."
{3:49} Moses took the redemption money from those who exceeded the
number of those who were redeemed by the Levites; {3:50} from the
firstborn of the children of Israel he took the money, one thousand
three hundred sixty-five shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary:
{3:51} and Moses gave the redemption money to Aaron and to his sons,
according to the word of the LORD, as the LORD commanded Moses.
