Numbers 1
1 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,
2 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; 3 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. 4 And with you there shall be a
man of
every tribe; every
one head of the
house of his
fathers. 5 And these are the
names of the
men that shall
stand with you: of the tribe of
Reuben; Elizur the
son of
Shedeur. 6 Of
Simeon; Shelumiel the
son of
Zurishaddai. 7 Of

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

two thousand and two
hundred. 36 Of the

three thousand and
four hundred. 44 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. 45 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; 46 Even all they that were
numbered were
six hundred thousand and
three thousand and
five hundred and
fifty. 47 But the
Levites after the
tribe of their
fathers were not
numbered among them.
48 For the
LORD had
spoken unto
Moses, saying,
49 Only thou shalt not
number the
tribe of
Levi, neither
take the
sum of them
among the
children of
Israel: 50 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. 51 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.
52 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. 53 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. 54 And the
children of
Israel did according to all that the
LORD commanded Moses, so
did they.
