Numbers Chapter 1 (Index)

001  And the LORD spake unto Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, in the tabernacle of the congregation, on the first day of the second month, in the second year after they were come out of the land of Egypt, saying,

002  Take ye the sum of all the congregation of the children of Israel, after their families, by the house of their fathers, with the number of their names, every male by their polls;

003  From twenty years old and upward, all that are able to go forth to war in Israel: thou and Aaron shall number them by their armies.

004  And with you there shall be a man of every tribe; every one head of the house of his fathers.

005  And these are the names of the men that shall stand with you: of the tribe of Reuben; Elizur the son of Shedeur.

018  And they assembled all the congregation together on the first day of the second month, and they declared their pedigrees after their families, by the house of their fathers, according to the number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, by their polls.

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

023  Those that were numbered of them, even of the tribe of Simeon, were fifty and nine thousand and three hundred.

024  Of the children of Gad, by their generations, after their families, by the house of their fathers, according to the number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, all that were able to go forth to war;

026  Of the children of Judah, by their generations, after their families, by the house of their fathers, according to the number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, all that were able to go forth to war;

028  Of the children of Issachar, by their generations, after their families, by the house of their fathers, according to the number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, all that were able to go forth to war;

029  Those that were numbered of them, even of the tribe of Issachar, were fifty and four thousand and four hundred.

030  Of the children of Zebulun, by their generations, after their families, by the house of their fathers, according to the number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, all that were able to go forth to war;

031  Those that were numbered of them, even of the tribe of Zebulun, were fifty and seven thousand and four hundred.

032  Of the children of Joseph, namely, of the children of Ephraim, by their generations, after their families, by the house of their fathers, according to the number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, all that were able to go forth to war;

033  Those that were numbered of them, even of the tribe of Ephraim, were forty thousand and five hundred.

034  Of the children of Manasseh, by their generations, after their families, by the house of their fathers, according to the number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, all that were able to go forth to war;

035  Those that were numbered of them, even of the tribe of Manasseh, were thirty and two thousand and two hundred.

036  Of the children of Benjamin, by their generations, after their families, by the house of their fathers, according to the number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, all that were able to go forth to war;

037  Those that were numbered of them, even of the tribe of Benjamin, were thirty and five thousand and four hundred.

038  Of the children of Dan, by their generations, after their families, by the house of their fathers, according to the number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, all that were able to go forth to war;

039  Those that were numbered of them, even of the tribe of Dan, were threescore and two thousand and seven hundred.

040  Of the children of Asher, by their generations, after their families, by the house of their fathers, according to the number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, all that were able to go forth to war;

041  Those that were numbered of them, even of the tribe of Asher, were forty and one thousand and five hundred.

042  Of the children of Naphtali, throughout their generations, after their families, by the house of their fathers, according to the number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, all that were able to go forth to war;

043  Those that were numbered of them, even of the tribe of Naphtali, were fifty and three thousand and four hundred.

044  These are those that were numbered, which Moses and Aaron numbered, and the princes of Israel, being twelve men: each one was for the house of his fathers.

045  So were all those that were numbered of the children of Israel, by the house of their fathers, from twenty years old and upward, all that were able to go forth to war in Israel;

046  Even all they that were numbered were six hundred thousand and three thousand and five hundred and fifty.

047  But the Levites after the tribe of their fathers were not numbered among them.

048  For the LORD had spoken unto Moses, saying,

049  Only thou shalt not number the tribe of Levi, neither take the sum of them among the children of Israel:

050  But thou shalt appoint the Levites over the tabernacle of testimony, and over all the vessels thereof, and over all things that belong to it: they shall bear the tabernacle, and all the vessels thereof; and they shall minister unto it, and shall encamp round about the tabernacle.

051  And when the tabernacle setteth forward, the Levites shall take it down: and when the tabernacle is to be pitched, the Levites shall set it up: and the stranger that cometh nigh shall be put to death.

052  And the children of Israel shall pitch their tents, every man by his own camp, and every man by his own standard, throughout their hosts.

053  But the Levites shall pitch round about the tabernacle of testimony, that there be no wrath upon the congregation of the children of Israel: and the Levites shall keep the charge of the tabernacle of testimony.

054  And the children of Israel did according to all that the LORD commanded Moses, so did they.
