The Census of Israels Warriors 1Then the LORD spoke to Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, in the tent of meeting, on the first of the second month, in the second year after they had come out of the land of Egypt, saying, 2Take a census of all the congregation of the sons of Israel, by their families, by their fathers households, according to the number of names, every male, head by head 3from twenty years old and upward, whoever is able to go out to war in Israel, you and Aaron shall number them by their armies. 4With you, moreover, there shall be a man of each tribe, each one head of his fathers household. 5These then are the names of the men who shall stand with you: of Reuben, Elizur the son of Shedeur; 6of Simeon, Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai; 7of Judah, Nahshon the son of Amminadab; 8of Issachar, Nethanel the son of Zuar; 9of Zebulun, Eliab the son of Helon; 10of the sons of Joseph: of Ephraim, Elishama the son of Ammihud; of Manasseh, Gamaliel the son of Pedahzur; 11of Benjamin, Abidan the son of Gideoni; 12of Dan, Ahiezer the son of Ammishaddai; 13of Asher, Pagiel the son of Ochran; 14of Gad, Eliasaph the son of Deuel; 15of Naphtali, Ahira the son of Enan. 16These are they who were called of the congregation, the leaders of their fathers tribes; they were the heads of divisions of Israel. 17So Moses and Aaron took these men who had been designated by name, 18and they assembled all the congregation together on the first of the second month. Then they registered by ancestry in their families, by their fathers households, according to the number of names, from twenty years old and upward, head by head, 19just as the LORD had commanded Moses. So he numbered them in the wilderness of Sinai. 20Now the sons of Reuben, Israels firstborn, their genealogical registration by their families, by their fathers households, according to the number of names, head by head, every male from twenty years old and upward, whoever was able to go out to war, 21their numbered men of the tribe of Reuben were 46,500. 22Of the sons of Simeon, their genealogical registration by their families, by their fathers households, their numbered men, according to the number of names, head by head, every male from twenty years old and upward, whoever was able to go out to war, 23their numbered men of the tribe of Simeon were 59,300. 24Of the sons of Gad, their genealogical registration by their families, by their fathers households, according to the number of names, from twenty years old and upward, whoever was able to go out to war, 25their numbered men of the tribe of Gad were 45,650. 26Of the sons of Judah, their genealogical registration by their families, by their fathers households, according to the number of names, from twenty years old and upward, whoever was able to go out to war, 27their numbered men of the tribe of Judah were 74,600. 28Of the sons of Issachar, their genealogical registration by their families, by their fathers households, according to the number of names, from twenty years old and upward, whoever was able to go out to war, 29their numbered men of the tribe of Issachar were 54,400. 30Of the sons of Zebulun, their genealogical registration by their families, by their fathers households, according to the number of names, from twenty years old and upward, whoever was able to go out to war, 31their numbered men of the tribe of Zebulun were 57,400. 32Of the sons of Joseph, namely, of the sons of Ephraim, their genealogical registration by their families, by their fathers households, according to the number of names, from twenty years old and upward, whoever was able to go out to war, 33their numbered men of the tribe of Ephraim were 40,500. 34Of the sons of Manasseh, their genealogical registration by their families, by their fathers households, according to the number of names, from twenty years old and upward, whoever was able to go out to war, 35their numbered men of the tribe of Manasseh were 32,200. 36Of the sons of Benjamin, their genealogical registration by their families, by their fathers households, according to the number of names, from twenty years old and upward, whoever was able to go out to war, 37their numbered men of the tribe of Benjamin were 35,400. 38Of the sons of Dan, their genealogical registration by their families, by their fathers households, according to the number of names, from twenty years old and upward, whoever was able to go out to war, 39their numbered men of the tribe of Dan were 62,700. 40Of the sons of Asher, their genealogical registration by their families, by their fathers households, according to the number of names, from twenty years old and upward, whoever was able to go out to war, 41their numbered men of the tribe of Asher were 41,500. 42Of the sons of Naphtali, their genealogical registration by their families, by their fathers households, according to the number of names, from twenty years old and upward, whoever was able to go out to war, 43their numbered men of the tribe of Naphtali were 53,400. 44These are the ones who were numbered, whom Moses and Aaron numbered, with the leaders of Israel, twelve men, each of whom was of his fathers household. 45So all the numbered men of the sons of Israel by their fathers households, from twenty years old and upward, whoever was able to go out to war in Israel, 46even all the numbered men were 603,550.
