The Census of Israel
1The LORD spoke to Moses in the tent of meeting in the Wilderness of Sinai, on the first [day] of the second month of the second year after Israel's departure from the land of Egypt:H30682"Take a census of the entire Israelite community by their clans and their ancestral houses, counting the names of every male one by one.H5375H7218H5712H1121H3478H4940H1004H1H4557H8034H2145H1538
3You and Aaron are to register those who are 20 years old or more by their military divisions— everyone who can serve in Israel's army.H6242H8141H1121H4605H3318H6635H3478H175H6485H6635
4A man from each tribe is to be with you, each one the head of his ancestral house.H376H376H4294H376H7218H1004H1
5These are the names of the men who are to assist you: Elizur son of Shedeur from Reuben;H8034H582H5975H7205H468H1121H7707
6Shelumiel son of Zurishaddai from Simeon;H8095H8017H1121H6701
7Nahshon son of Amminadab from Judah;H3063H5177H1121H5992
8Nethanel son of Zuar from Issachar;H3485H5417H1121H6686
9Eliab son of Helon from Zebulun;H2074H446H1121H2497
10from the sons of Joseph: Elishama son of Ammihud from Ephraim, Gamaliel son of Pedahzur from Manasseh;H1121H3130H669H476H1121H5989H4519H1583H1121H6301
11Abidan son of Gideoni from Benjamin;H1144H27H1121H1441
12Ahiezer son of Ammishaddai from Dan;H1835H295H1121H5996
13Pagiel son of Ochran from Asher;H836H6295H1121H5918
14Eliasaph son of Deuel from Gad;H1410H460H1121H1845
15Ahira son of Enan from Naphtali.H5321H299H1121H5881
16These are the men called from the community; they are leaders of their ancestral tribes, the heads of Israel's clans."H7148H7121H5712H5387H4294H1H7218H505H1992H3478
17So Moses and Aaron took these men who had been designated by name,H4872H175H3947H582H5344H8034
18and they assembled the whole community on the first day of the second month. They recorded their ancestry by their clans and their ancestral houses, counting one by one the names of those 20 years old or more,H6950H5712H6950H259H8145H2320H3205H4940H1004H1H4557H8034H6242H8141H1121H4605H1538

Duties of the Levites
47But the Levites were not registered with them by their ancestral tribe.H388148For the LORD had told Moses:H3068H1696H4872H559
49"Do not register or take a census of the tribe of Levi with the [other] Israelites.H6485H4294H3878H5375H7218H8432H1121H3478 
50Appoint the Levites over the tabernacle of the testimony, all its furnishings, and everything in it. They are to transport the tabernacle and all its articles, take care of it, and camp around it.H6485H3881H4908H5715H3627H5375H4908H3627H8334H2583H5439H4908
51Whenever the tabernacle is to move, the Levites are to take it down, and whenever it is to stop at a campsite, the Levites are to set it up. Any unauthorized person who comes near [it] must be put to death.H4908H5265H3881H3381H4908H2583H3881H6965H2114H7131H4191
52"The Israelites are to camp by their military divisions, each man with his encampment and under his banner.H1121H3478H2583H376H4264H376H1714H6635 
New Testament
53The Levites are to camp around the tabernacle of the testimony and watch over it, so that no wrath will fall on the Israelite community."H3881H2583H5439H4908H5715H7110H5712H1121H3478H3881H8104H4931H4908H5715
54The Israelites did everything just as the LORD had commanded Moses.H1121H3478H6213H3068H6680H4872H6213
