1A year after Israel’s departure from Egypt, the LORD spoke to Moses in the Tabernacle in the wilderness of Sinai. On the first day of the second month of that year he said,

3From twenty years old and upward, all in Israel who are able to go to war, you and Aaron shall list them, company by company.

4and you will be assisted by one family leader from each tribe.

4And there shall be with you a man from each tribe, each man being the head of the house of his fathers.

5“These are the tribes and the names of the leaders who will assist you: Tribe Leader Reuben Elizur son of Shedeur

16These are the chosen leaders of the community, the leaders of their ancestral tribes, the heads of the clans of Israel.”

16These were the ones chosen from the congregation, the chiefs of their ancestral tribes, the heads of the clans of Israel.

17So Moses and Aaron called together these chosen leaders,

17Moses and Aaron took these men who had been named,

18and they assembled the whole community of Israel on that very day. All the people were registered according to their ancestry by their clans and families. The men of Israel who were twenty years old or older were listed one by one,

18and on the first day of the second month, they assembled the whole congregation together, who registered themselves by clans, by fathers’ houses, according to the number of names from twenty years old and upward, head by head,

44These were the men registered by Moses and Aaron and the twelve leaders of Israel, all listed according to their ancestral descent.

44These are those who were listed, whom Moses and Aaron listed with the help of the chiefs of Israel, twelve men, each representing his fathers’ house.

45They were registered by families—all the men of Israel who were twenty years old or older and able to go to war.

45So all those listed of the people of Israel, by their fathers’ houses, from twenty years old and upward, every man able to go to war in Israel—

46The total number was 603,550.

46all those listed were 603,550.

47But this total did not include the Levites.

47But the Levites were not listed along with them by their ancestral tribe.

48For the LORD had said to Moses,

48For the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

49“Do not include the tribe of Levi in the registration; do not count them with the rest of the Israelites.

49“Only the tribe of Levi you shall not list, and you shall not take a census of them among the people of Israel.

50Put the Levites in charge of the Tabernacle of the Covenant, along with all its furnishings and equipment. They must carry the Tabernacle and all its furnishings as you travel, and they must take care of it and camp around it.

50But appoint the Levites over the tabernacle of the testimony, and over all its furnishings, and over all that belongs to it. They are to carry the tabernacle and all its furnishings, and they shall take care of it and shall camp around the tabernacle.

51Whenever it is time for the Tabernacle to move, the Levites will take it down. And when it is time to stop, they will set it up again. But any unauthorized person who goes too near the Tabernacle must be put to death.

51When the tabernacle is to set out, the Levites shall take it down, and when the tabernacle is to be pitched, the Levites shall set it up. And if any outsider comes near, he shall be put to death.

52Each tribe of Israel will camp in a designated area with its own family banner.

52The people of Israel shall pitch their tents by their companies, each man in his own camp and each man by his own standard.

53But the Levites will camp around the Tabernacle of the Covenant to protect the community of Israel from the LORD’s anger. The Levites are responsible to stand guard around the Tabernacle.”

53But the Levites shall camp around the tabernacle of the testimony, so that there may be no wrath on the congregation of the people of Israel. And the Levites shall keep guard over the tabernacle of the testimony.”

54So the Israelites did everything just as the LORD had commanded Moses.

54Thus did the people of Israel; they did according to all that the LORD commanded Moses.
