And they were numbered in the desert of Sinai20Of Ruben, the firstborn of Israel, by their generations and families and houses, and the names of each head, of all who were of the male sex, from twenty years and above, capable of going to war21there were forty-six thousand five hundred22Of the sons of Simeon, by their generations and families, and the houses of their kinships, having been counted by the names and heads of each one, of all who were of the male sex, from twenty years and above, capable of going to war23there were fifty-nine thousand three hundred24Of the sons of Gad, by their generations and families, and the houses of their kinships, having been counted by the names of each one, from twenty years and above, of all who could go forth to war25there were forty-five thousand six hundred fifty26Of the sons of Judah, by their generations and families, and the houses of their kinships, by the names of each one, from twenty years and above, of all who were able to go forth to war27there were counted seventy-four thousand six hundred28Of the sons of Issachar, by their generations and families, and the houses of their kinships, by the names of each one, from twenty years and above, of all who could go forth to war29there were counted fifty-four thousand four hundred30Of the sons of Zebulon, by their generations and families, and the houses of their kinships, having been counted by the names of each one, from twenty years and above, of all who were able to go forth to war31there were fifty-seven thousand four hundred32From the sons of Joseph, of the sons of Ephraim, by their generations and families, and the houses of their kinships, having been counted by the names of each one, from twenty years and above, of all who were able to go forth to war33there were forty thousand five hundred34Furthermore, of the sons of Manasseh, by their generations and families, and the houses of their kinships, having been counted by the names of each one, from twenty years and above, of all who were able to go forth to war35there were thirty-two thousand two hundred36Of the sons of Benjamin, by their generations and families, and the houses of their kinships, having been counted by the names of each one, from twenty years and above, of all who were able to go forth to war37there were thirty-five thousand four hundred38Of the sons of Dan, by their generations and families, and the houses of their kinships, having been counted by the names of each one, from twenty years and above, of all who were able to go forth to war39there were sixty-two thousand seven hundred40Of the sons of Asher, by their generations and families, and the houses of their kinships, having been counted by the names of each one, from twenty years and above, of all who were able to go forth to war41there were forty thousand and one thousand five hundred42Of the sons of Naphtali, by their generations and families, and the houses of their kinships, having been counted by the names of each one, from twenty years and above, of all who were able to go forth to war43there were fifty-three thousand four hundred44These are the ones who were numbered by Moses and Aaron and the twelve leaders of Israel, each one by the houses of their kinships45And the entire number of the sons of Israel by their houses and families, from twenty years and above, who were able to go forth to war, wer46six hundred three thousand five hundred fifty men47But the Levites in the tribes of their families were not numbered with them48And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying49"Do not number the tribe of Levi, neither shall you take a total of them with the sons of Israel50But appoint them over the tabernacle of the testimony, and all its vessels, and whatever pertains to the ceremonies. They shall carry the tabernacle and all its articles. And they shall be for the ministry, and they shall encamp all around the tabernacle51When you would depart, the Levites shall take down the tabernacle. When you are to make camp, they shall set it up. Any outsider who will approach it shall be killed52Now the sons of Israel shall make camp, each one by his companies and bands, as well as his army53Moreover, the Levites shall fix their tents all around the tabernacle, lest there be an indignation over the multitude of the sons of Israel. And they shall stand watch as guardians over the tabernacle of the testimony.54Therefore, the sons of Israel acted according to everything that the Lord had instructed Moses
1And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying2"Each one shall make camp, by their troops, as well as by their insignia and standards, and by the houses of their kinships, all around the tabernacle of the covenant.3To the east, Judah shall fix his tents, by the companies of his army. And the leader of his sons shall be Nahshon the son of Amminadab4And the entire total of the fighting men from his stock was seventy-four thousand six hundred5Beside him, those of the tribe of Issachar were encamped, whose leader was Nathanael the son of Zuar6And the entire number of his fighting men was fifty-four thousand four hundred7In the tribe of Zebulon, the leader was Eliab the son of Helon8All the army of fighting men from his stock were fifty-seven thousand four hundred9All who were numbered in the camp of Judah were one hundred eighty-six thousand four hundred. And these, by their companies, shall go forth first10In the camp of the sons of Ruben, toward the south side, the leader shall be Elizur the son of Shedeur11And the entire army of his fighting men, who were numbered, were forty-six thousand five hundred12Beside him, those of the tribe of Simeon were encamped, whose leader was Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai13And the entire army of his fighting men, who were numbered, were fifty-nine thousand three hundred14In the tribe of Gad, the leader was Eliasaph the son of Reuel15And the entire army of his fighting men, who were numbered, were forty-five thousand six hundred fifty16All who were counted in the camp of Ruben were one hundred fifty thousand and one thousand four hundred fifty, by their companies. These shall advance in the second place17But the tabernacle of the testimony shall be lifted up by the officers of the Levites and their companies. In the manner in which it is set up, so also shall it be taken down. Each one shall advance according to their places and ranks18On the west side, there shall be the camp of the sons of Ephraim, whose leader was Elishama the son of Ammihud19The entire army of his fighting men, who were numbered, were forty thousand five hundred20And with them was the tribe of the sons of Manasseh, whose leader was Gamaliel the son of Pedahzur21And the entire army of his fighting men, who were numbered, were thirty-two thousand two hundred22In the tribe of the sons of Benjamin, the leader was Abidan the son of Gideoni23And the entire army of his fighting men, who were counted, were thirty-five thousand four hundred24All who were numbered in the camp of Ephraim were one hundred eight thousand one hundred, by their companies.

For so the Lord had instructed Moses34And the sons of Israel acted according to all the things that the Lord had commanded. They were encamped by their companies, and they advanced by the families and houses of their fathers
1These are the generations of Aaron and Moses, in the day when the Lord spoke to Moses on mount Sinai2And these are the names of the sons of Aaron: his firstborn Nadab, then Abihu, and Eleazar, and Ithamar3These are the names of the sons of Aaron, the priests who were anointed and whose hands were filled and consecrated in order to exercise the priesthood4For Nadab and Abihu died without children, when they offered, in the sight of the Lord, a strange fire, in the desert of Sinai. And so, Eleazar and Ithamar exercised the priesthood in the sight of Aaron, their father5And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying6"Bring forward the tribe of Levi, and cause them to stand in the sight of Aaron the priest, in order to minister to him. And let them keep watch outside7and let them observe whatever pertains to the ritual for the multitude, in front of the tabernacle of the testimony8and let them take care of the vessels of the tabernacle, serving in its ministry9And you shall give the Levites as a gift to Aaron and his sons; for they have been delivered to them by the sons of Israel10But you shall appoint Aaron and his sons over the service of the priesthood. The outsider who approaches to minister shall be put to death.11And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying12"I have taken the Levites from the sons of Israel. For the Levites, and all the firstborn who open the womb among the sons of Israel, shall be mine13For every firstborn is mine. From the time that I struck the firstborn in the land of Egypt, I have sanctified for myself whatever is born first in Israel. From man, even to beast, they are mine. I am the Lord.14And the Lord spoke to Moses in the desert of Sinai, saying15"Number the sons of Levi by the houses of their fathers and their families, every male from one month and above.16Moses numbered them, just as the Lord had instructed17and there were found the sons of Levi by their names: Gershon and Kohath and Merari18The sons of Gershon: Libni and Shimei19The sons of Kohath: Amram, and Izhar, Hebron and Uzziel20The sons of Merari: Mahli and Mushi21From Gershon were two families: the Libnites, and the Shimeites22The people of these were numbered, of the male sex, from one month and above: seven thousand five hundred23These shall encamp behind the tabernacle, toward the west24under the leader Eliasaph the son of Lael25And they shall keep watch over the tabernacle of the covenant26the tabernacle itself, and its covering; the tent that is drawn before the doors of the covering of the covenant; and the curtains of the atrium; likewise, the tent that is suspended at the entrance of the atrium of the tabernacle; and whatever pertains to the ritual of the altar; the cords of the tabernacle and all its implements27The kinship of Kohath includes the peoples of the Amramites and Izharites and Hebronites and Uzzielites. These are the families of the Kohathites, having been counted by their names28all those of the male gender, from one month and above: eight thousand six hundred. They shall keep watch over the Sanctuary29and they shall encamp toward the south side30And their leader shall be Elisaphan the son of Uzziel31And they shall take care of the ark, and the table and the lampstand, the altars and the vessels of the Sanctuary, by which they minister, and the veil, and all the articles of this kind32But the leader of the leaders of the Levites, Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest, shall be over those who watch over the care of the Sanctuary33And truly, from Merari are the peoples of the Mahlites and Mushites, having been counted by their names34all those of the male gender, from one month and above: six thousand two hundred35Their leader is Suriel the son of Abihaiel. They shall make camp on the north side36Under their care shall be the panels of the tabernacle, and the bars, and the columns with their bases, and all the things which pertain to service of this kind37and the columns of the surrounding atrium with their bases, and the tent pegs with their cords38Moses and Aaron, with their sons, shall make camp before the tabernacle of the covenant, that is, on the east side, holding the custody of the Sanctuary in the midst of the sons of Israel. Whatever foreigner approaches it shall die39All the Levites, whom Moses and Aaron numbered by their families according to the precept of the Lord, of the male gender, from one month and above, were twenty-two thousand40And the Lord said to Moses: "Number the firstborn of the male sex from the sons of Israel, from one month and above, and you shall take their total41And you shall bring the Levites to me, in place of all the firstborn of the sons of Israel, and you shall bring their cattle to me, in place of all the firstborn of the cattle of the sons of Israel. I am the Lord.42Moses took a census, just as the Lord had instructed, of the firstborn of the sons of Israel43And the males by their names, from one month and above, were twenty-two thousand two hundred seventy-three44And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying45"Take the Levites, in place of the firstborn of the sons of Israel, and the cattle of the Levites, in place of their cattle, and so the Levites shall be mine. I am the Lord46But for the price of the two hundred and seventy-three, which exceed the number of the Levites compared to the number of firstborn of the sons of Israel47you shall take five shekels for each head, by the measure of the Sanctuary. A shekel has twenty obols48And you shall give the money to Aaron and his sons as the price of those that are in excess.49Therefore, Moses took the money for those that were in excess, and whom they had redeemed from the Levite50in place of the firstborn of the sons of Israel: one thousand three hundred sixty-five shekels, according to the weight of the Sanctuary51And he gave it to Aaron and his sons, according to the word by which the Lord had instructed him
