Numbers Chapter 1

1 : 1 And Jehovah spoke to Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, in the tent of meeting, on the first day of the second month, in the second year after they came out of the land of Egypt, saying,

1 : 2 Take ye the sum of all the congregation of the sons of Israel, by their families, by their fathers' houses, according to the number of the names, every male, by their polls,

1 : 3 from twenty years old and upward, all who are able to go forth to war in Israel. Thou and Aaron shall number them by their armies.

1 : 38 Of the sons of Dan, their generations, by their families, by their fathers' houses, according to the number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, all that were able to go forth to war,

1 : 39 those who were numbered of them, of the tribe of Dan, were sixty-two thousand and seven hundred.

1 : 40 Of the sons of Asher, their generations, by their families, by their fathers' houses, according to the number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, all that were able to go forth to war,

1 : 44 These are those who were numbered, whom Moses and Aaron numbered, and the rulers of Israel, being twelve men. They were each one for his fathers' house.

1 : 45 So all those who were numbered of the sons of Israel by their fathers' houses, from twenty years old and upward, all who were able to go forth to war in Israel,

1 : 46 even all those who were numbered were six hundred three thousand and five hundred and fifty.

1 : 47 But the Levites according to the tribe of their fathers were not numbered among them.

1 : 48 For Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,

1 : 49 Only the tribe of Levi thou shall not number, neither shall thou take the sum of them among the sons of Israel,

1 : 50 but appoint thou the Levites over the tabernacle of the testimony, and over all the furniture of it, and over all that belongs to it. They shall bear the tabernacle, and all the furniture of it, and they shall minister to it, and shall encamp round about the tabernacle.

1 : 51 And when the tabernacle sets forward, the Levites shall take it down, and when the tabernacle is to be pitched, the Levites shall set it up. And the stranger who comes near shall be put to death.

1 : 52 And the sons of Israel shall pitch their tents, every man by his own camp, and every man by his own standard, according to their armies.

1 : 53 But the Levites shall encamp round about the tabernacle of the testimony, that there be no wrath upon the congregation of the sons of Israel. And the Levites shall keep the charge of the tabernacle of the testimony.

1 : 54 Thus did the sons of Israel. According to all that Jehovah commanded Moses, so they did.
