But they said,“ Your servants are twelve brothers in all, the sons of one man in the land of Canaan; and behold, the youngest is with our father today, and one is no longer alive.”

他们说：“仆人们本是弟兄十二人，是迦南地一个人的儿子，顶小的现今在我们的父亲那里，有一个没有了。”

他们说：“仆人们本是兄弟十二人，我们都是迦南地同一个人的儿子。看哪，最小的今日在我们父亲那里，有一个不在了。”

他们说：“仆人们本是兄弟十二人，我们都是迦南地同一个人的儿子。看哪，最小的今日在我们父亲那里，有一个不在了。”

他们说：“仆人们本是兄弟十二人，我们都是迦南地一个人的儿子。最小的现在与我们的父亲在一起，还有一个不在了。”

他們說：「僕人們本是兄弟十二人，我們都是迦南地同一個人的兒子。看哪，最小的今日在我們父親那裏，有一個不在了。」

他們說：“僕人們本是兄弟十二人，我們都是迦南地一個人的兒子。最小的現在與我們的父親在一起，還有一個不在了。”

他們說：『僕人們弟兄十二個；是迦南地一個人的兒子；頂小的現今和我們的父親在一起，還有一個不在了。』

他們說：「你的僕人們本是兄弟十二人，都是迦南地同一個人的兒子。看哪，最小的那個現在與我們的父親在一起，還有一個已經不在了。」

But they replied,“ Your servants were twelve brothers, the sons of one man, who lives in the land of Canaan. The youngest is now with our father, and one is no more.”

But they replied,“ We were 12 brothers. All of us were the sons of one man. He lives in the land of Canaan. Our youngest brother is now with our father. And one brother is gone.”

And they said,“ We, your servants, are twelve brothers, the sons of one man in the land of Canaan, and behold, the youngest is this day with our father, and one is no more.”

“ Sir,” they said,“ there are actually twelve of us. We, your servants, are all brothers, sons of a man living in the land of Canaan. Our youngest brother is back there with our father right now, and one of our brothers is no longer with us.”

But they replied,“ We, your servants, were twelve brothers, the sons of one man in the land of Canaan. The youngest is now with our father, and one is no longer living.”

And they said,“ Your servants are twelve brothers, the sons of one man in the land of Canaan; and in fact, the youngest is with our father today, and one is no more.”

And they said, We thy servants are twelve brethren, the sons of one man in the land of Canaan; and, behold, the youngest is this day with our father, and one is not.

But they replied,“ We, your servants, were 12 brothers, the sons of one man in the land of Canaan. The youngest is now with our father, and one is no longer living.”

And they said, Thy servants[ are] twelve brethren, the sons of one man in the land of Canaan; and, behold, the youngest[ is] this day with our father, and one[ is] not.

They replied,“ Your servants are from a family of twelve brothers. We are the sons of one man in the land of Canaan. The youngest is with our father at this time, and one is no longer alive.”

They said,“ We, your servants, are twelve brothers, the sons of one man in the land of Canaan; and behold, the youngest is today with our father, and one is no more.”

He returned to his brothers and said,“ The boy is not there; as for me, where am I to go?”

And we said to my lord,‘ We have an old father and a little boy born in our father’s old age. Now his brother is dead, so he alone is left of his mother, and his father loves him.’

We are twelve brothers, sons of our father; one is no longer alive, and the youngest is with our father today in the land of Canaan.’

But they said,“ The man specifically asked about us and our relatives, saying,‘ Is your father still alive? Have you another brother?’ So we answered his questions. Could we possibly know that he would say,‘ Bring your brother down’?”

This is what the Lord says:“ A voice is heard in Ramah, Lamenting and bitter weeping. Rachel is weeping for her children; She refuses to be comforted for her children, Because they are no more.”

Reuben, Simeon, Levi, and Judah;Issachar, Zebulun, and Benjamin;Dan and Naphtali, Gad and Asher.All the people who descended from Jacob were seventy people, but Joseph was already in Egypt.

We are all sons of one man; we are honest men, your servants are not spies.”

And they told him, saying,“ Joseph is still alive, and indeed he is ruler over all the land of Egypt.” But he was stunned, for he did not believe them.

Now these are the names of the sons of Israel who went to Egypt, Jacob and his sons: Reuben, Jacob’s firstborn.And the sons of Reuben: Hanoch, Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi.And the sons of Simeon: Jemuel, Jamin, Ohad, Jachin, Zohar, and Shaul the son of a Canaanite woman.And the sons of Levi: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.And the sons of Judah: Er, Onan, Shelah, Perez, and Zerah( but Er and Onan died in the land of Canaan). And the sons of Perez were Hezron and Hamul.And the sons of Issachar: Tola, Puvvah, Iob, and Shimron.And the sons of Zebulun: Sered, Elon, and Jahleel.These are the sons of Leah, whom she bore to Jacob in Paddan aram, with his daughter Dinah; all his sons and his daughters numbered thirty three.And the sons of Gad: Ziphion, Haggi, Shuni, Ezbon, Eri, Arodi, and Areli.And the sons of Asher: Imnah, Ishvah, Ishvi, Beriah, and their sister Serah. And the sons of Beriah: Heber and Malchiel.These are the sons of Zilpah, whom Laban gave to his daughter Leah; and she bore to Jacob these sixteen persons.The sons of Jacob’s wife Rachel: Joseph and Benjamin.Now to Joseph in the land of Egypt were born Manasseh and Ephraim, whom Asenath, the daughter of Potiphera, priest of On, bore to him.And the sons of Benjamin: Bela, Becher, Ashbel, Gera, Naaman, Ehi, Rosh, Muppim, Huppim, and Ard.These are the sons of Rachel, who were born to Jacob; there were fourteen persons in all.And the sons of Dan: Hushim.And the sons of Naphtali: Jahzeel, Guni, Jezer, and Shillem.These are the sons of Bilhah, whom Laban gave to his daughter Rachel, and she bore these to Jacob; there were seven persons in all.All the people belonging to Jacob, who came to Egypt, his direct descendants, not including the wives of Jacob’s sons, were sixty six persons in all,and the sons of Joseph, who were born to him in Egypt, were two; all the people of the house of Jacob, who came to Egypt, were seventy.

And their father Jacob said to them,“ You have deprived me of my sons: Joseph is gone, and Simeon is gone, and now you would take Benjamin; all these things are against me.”

The Lord spoke further to Moses, saying,“ Make yourself two trumpets of silver, you shall make them of hammered work; and you shall use them for summoning the congregation and breaking camp.Now when both are blown, all the congregation shall meet you at the entrance of the tent of meeting.But if only one is blown, then the leaders, the heads of the divisions of Israel, shall meet you.And when you blow an alarm, the camps that are pitched on the east side shall set out.Then when you sound an alarm the second time, the camps that are pitched on the south side shall set out; an alarm is to be sounded for them to break camp.When convening the assembly, however, you shall blow the trumpets without sounding an alarm.The sons of Aaron, moreover, the priests, shall blow the trumpets; and this shall be a permanent statute for you throughout your generations.And when you go to war in your land against the enemy who attacks you, then you shall sound an alarm with the trumpets, so that you will be thought of by the Lord your God, and be saved from your enemies.Also on the day of your joy and at your appointed feasts, and on the first days of your months, you shall blow the trumpets over your burnt offerings, and over the sacrifices of your peace offerings; and they shall be as a reminder of you before your God. I am the Lord your God.”Now in the second year, in the second month, on the twentieth of the month, the cloud was lifted from above the tabernacle of the testimony;and the sons of Israel set out on their journeys from the wilderness of Sinai. Then the cloud settled in the wilderness of Paran.So they moved on for the first time in accordance with the command of the Lord through Moses.The flag of the camp of the sons of Judah, by their armies, set out first, with Nahshon the son of Amminadab, over its army,and Nethanel the son of Zuar, over the tribal army of the sons of Issachar;and Eliab the son of Helon over the tribal army of the sons of Zebulun.Then the tabernacle was taken down; and the sons of Gershon and the sons of Merari, who were carrying the tabernacle, set out.Next the flag of the camp of Reuben, by their armies, set out with Elizur the son of Shedeur, over its army,and Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai over the tribal army of the sons of Simeon,and Eliasaph the son of Deuel was over the tribal army of the sons of Gad.Then the Kohathites set out, carrying the holy objects; and the tabernacle was set up before their arrival.Next the flag of the camp of the sons of Ephraim, by their armies, set out, with Elishama the son of Ammihud over its army,and Gamaliel the son of Pedahzur over the tribal army of the sons of Manasseh;and Abidan the son of Gideoni over the tribal army of the sons of Benjamin.Then the flag of the camp of the sons of Dan, by their armies, which formed the rear guard for all the camps, set out, with Ahiezer the son of Ammishaddai over its army,and Pagiel the son of Ochran over the tribal army of the sons of Asher;and Ahira the son of Enan over the tribal army of the sons of Naphtali.This was the order of marching for the sons of Israel by their armies as they set out.Then Moses said to Hobab the son of Reuel the Midianite, Moses’ father in law,“ We are setting out to the place of which the Lord said,‘ I will give it to you.’ Come with us and we will do you good, for the Lord has promised good concerning Israel.”But he said to him,“ I will not come, but rather will go to my own land and relatives.”Then he said,“ Please do not leave us, since you know where we should camp in the wilderness, and you will be as eyes for us.So it will be, if you go with us, that whatever good the Lord does for us, we will do for you.”So they moved on from the mountain of the Lord three days’ journey, with the ark of the covenant of the Lord going on in front of them for the three days, to seek out a resting place for them.And the cloud of the Lord was over them by day when they set out from the camp.Then it came about when the ark set out that Moses said,“ Rise up, Lord! And may Your enemies be scattered, And those who hate You flee from Your presence.”And when it came to rest, he said,“ Return, Lord, To the myriad thousands of Israel.”

Then Rachel said,“ God has vindicated me, and has indeed heard my voice and has given me a son.” Therefore she named him Dan.And Rachel’s slave Bilhah conceived again and bore Jacob a second son.So Rachel said,“ With mighty wrestling I have wrestled with my sister, and I have indeed prevailed.” And she named him Naphtali.When Leah saw that she had stopped having children, she took her slave Zilpah and gave her to Jacob as a wife.And Leah’s slave Zilpah bore Jacob a son.Then Leah said,“ How fortunate!” So she named him Gad.And Leah’s slave Zilpah bore Jacob a second son.Then Leah said,“ Happy am I! For women will call me happy.” So she named him Asher.Now in the days of wheat harvest Reuben went and found mandrake fruits in the field, and brought them to his mother Leah. Then Rachel said to Leah,“ Please give me some of your son’s mandrakes.”But she said to her,“ Is it a small matter for you to take my husband? And would you take my son’s mandrakes also?” So Rachel said,“ Therefore he may sleep with you tonight in return for your son’s mandrakes.”When Jacob came in from the field in the evening, Leah went out to meet him and said,“ You must have relations with me, for I have indeed hired you with my son’s mandrakes.” So he slept with her that night.God listened to Leah, and she conceived and bore Jacob a fifth son.Then Leah said,“ God has given me my reward, because I gave my slave to my husband.” So she named him Issachar.And Leah conceived again and bore a sixth son to Jacob.Then Leah said,“ God has endowed me with a good gift; finally my husband will acknowledge me as his wife, because I have borne him six sons.” So she named him Zebulun.Afterward she gave birth to a daughter, and named her Dinah.Then God remembered Rachel, and God listened to her and opened her womb.So she conceived and gave birth to a son, and said,“ God has taken away my disgrace.”And she named him Joseph, saying,“ May the Lord give me another son.”

But Jacob said,“ My son shall not go down with you; for his brother is dead, and he alone is left. If harm should happen to him on the journey you are taking, then you will bring my gray hair down to Sheol in sorrow.”

Leah conceived and gave birth to a son, and named him Reuben, for she said,“ Because the Lord has seen my affliction; surely now my husband will love me.”Then she conceived again and gave birth to a son, and said,“ Because the Lord has heard that I am unloved, He has therefore given me this son also.” So she named him Simeon.And she conceived again and gave birth to a son, and said,“ Now this time my husband will become attached to me, because I have borne him three sons.” Therefore he was named Levi.And she conceived again and gave birth to a son, and said,“ This time I will praise the Lord.” Therefore she named him Judah. Then she stopped having children.

Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,“ Command the sons of Israel and say to them,‘ When you enter the land of Canaan, this is the land that shall fall to you as an inheritance, that is, the land of Canaan according to its borders.Your southern region shall extend from the wilderness of Zin along the side of Edom, and your southern border shall extend from the end of the Salt Sea eastward.Then your border shall change direction from the south to the ascent of Akrabbim and continue to Zin, and its termination shall be to the south of Kadesh barnea; and it shall reach Hazaraddar and continue to Azmon.Then the border shall change direction from Azmon to the brook of Egypt, and its termination shall be at the sea.‘ As for the western border, you shall have the Great Sea, that is, its coastline; this shall be your western border.‘ And this shall be your northern border: you shall draw your boundary from the Great Sea to Mount Hor.You shall draw a boundary from Mount Hor to the Lebo hamath, and the termination of the border shall be at Zedad;and the border shall proceed to Ziphron, and its termination shall be at Hazar enan. This shall be your northern border.‘ For your eastern border you shall also draw a boundary from Hazar enan to Shepham,and the border shall go down from Shepham to Riblah on the east side of Ain; and the border shall go down and reach to the slope on the east side of the Sea of Chinnereth.And the border shall go down to the Jordan, and its termination shall be at the Salt Sea. This shall be your land according to its borders on all sides.’ ”So Moses commanded the sons of Israel, saying,“ This is the land that you are to possess by lot, which the Lord has commanded to give to the nine and a half tribes.For the tribe of the sons of Reuben have received theirs according to their fathers’ households, and the tribe of the sons of Gad according to their fathers’ households, and the half tribe of Manasseh have received their possession.The two and a half tribes have received their possession across the Jordan opposite Jericho, eastward toward the sunrise.”Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,“ These are the names of the men who shall assign the land to you as an inheritance: Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun.And you shall take one leader of each tribe to assign the land as an inheritance.These are the names of the men: of the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh.Of the tribe of the sons of Simeon, Samuel the son of Ammihud.Of the tribe of Benjamin, Elidad the son of Chislon.And of the tribe of the sons of Dan, a leader, Bukki the son of Jogli.Of the sons of Joseph: of the tribe of the sons of Manasseh, a leader, Hanniel the son of Ephod.Of the tribe of the sons of Ephraim, a leader, Kemuel the son of Shiphtan.Of the tribe of the sons of Zebulun, a leader, Elizaphan the son of Parnach.Of the tribe of the sons of Issachar, a leader, Paltiel the son of Azzan.Of the tribe of the sons of Asher, a leader, Ahihud the son of Shelomi.Of the tribe of the sons of Naphtali, a leader, Pedahel the son of Ammihud.”These are the ones whom the Lord commanded to apportion the inheritance to the sons of Israel in the land of Canaan.

Our fathers sinned, and are gone; It is we who have been burdened with the punishment for their wrongdoings.

Then it came about after the plague, that the Lord spoke to Moses and to Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest, saying,“ Take a census of all the congregation of the sons of Israel from twenty years old and upward, by their fathers’ households, whoever is able to go to war in Israel.”So Moses and Eleazar the priest spoke with them in the plains of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho, saying,“ Take a census of the people from twenty years old and upward, as the Lord has commanded Moses.” Now the sons of Israel who came out of the land of Egypt were as follows:Reuben, Israel’s firstborn, the sons of Reuben: of Hanoch, the family of the Hanochites; of Pallu, the family of the Palluites;of Hezron, the family of the Hezronites; of Carmi, the family of the Carmites.These are the families of the Reubenites, and those who were counted of them were 43,730.The son of Pallu: Eliab.The sons of Eliab: Nemuel, Dathan, and Abiram. These are the Dathan and Abiram who were called by the congregation, who fought against Moses and against Aaron in the group of Korah, when they fought against the Lord,and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed them up along with Korah, when that group died, when the fire devoured 250 men, so that they became a warning sign.The sons of Korah, however, did not die.The sons of Simeon by their families: of Nemuel, the family of the Nemuelites; of Jamin, the family of the Jaminites; of Jachin, the family of the Jachinites;of Zerah, the family of the Zerahites; of Shaul, the family of the Shaulites.These are the families of the Simeonites, 22,200 in number.The sons of Gad by their families: of Zephon, the family of the Zephonites; of Haggi, the family of the Haggites; of Shuni, the family of the Shunites;of Ozni, the family of the Oznites; of Eri, the family of the Erites;of Arod, the family of the Arodites; of Areli, the family of the Arelites.These are the families of the sons of Gad according to those who were numbered of them, 40,500.The sons of Judah were Er and Onan, but Er and Onan died in the land of Canaan.The sons of Judah by their families were: of Shelah, the family of the Shelanites; of Perez, the family of the Perezites; of Zerah, the family of the Zerahites.The sons of Perez were: of Hezron, the family of the Hezronites; of Hamul, the family of the Hamulites.These are the families of Judah by those who were numbered of them, 76,500.The sons of Issachar by their families: of Tola, the family of the Tolaites; of Puvah, the family of the Punites;of Jashub, the family of the Jashubites; of Shimron, the family of the Shimronites.These are the families of Issachar by those who were numbered of them, 64,300.The sons of Zebulun by their families: of Sered, the family of the Seredites; of Elon, the family of the Elonites; of Jahleel, the family of the Jahleelites.These are the families of the Zebulunites by those who were numbered of them, 60,500.The sons of Joseph by their families: Manasseh and Ephraim.The sons of Manasseh: of Machir, the family of the Machirites; and Machir fathered Gilead: of Gilead, the family of the Gileadites.These are the sons of Gilead: of Iezer, the family of the Iezerites; of Helek, the family of the Helekites;and of Asriel, the family of the Asrielites; and of Shechem, the family of the Shechemites;and of Shemida, the family of the Shemidaites; and of Hepher, the family of the Hepherites.Now Zelophehad the son of Hepher had no sons, only daughters; and the names of the daughters of Zelophehad were Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah.These are the families of Manasseh; and those who were numbered of them were 52,700.These are the sons of Ephraim by their families: of Shuthelah, the family of the Shuthelahites; of Becher, the family of the Becherites; of Tahan, the family of the Tahanites.These are the sons of Shuthelah: of Eran, the family of the Eranites.These are the families of the sons of Ephraim by those who were numbered of them, 32,500. These are the sons of Joseph by their families.The sons of Benjamin by their families: of Bela, the family of the Belaites; of Ashbel, the family of the Ashbelites; of Ahiram, the family of the Ahiramites;of Shephupham, the family of the Shuphamites; of Hupham, the family of the Huphamites.The sons of Bela were Ard and Naaman: of Ard, the family of the Ardites; of Naaman, the family of the Naamites.These are the sons of Benjamin by their families; and those who were numbered of them were 45,600.These are the sons of Dan by their families: of Shuham, the family of the Shuhamites. These are the families of Dan by their families.All the families of the Shuhamites, by those who were numbered of them, were 64,400.The sons of Asher by their families: of Imnah, the family of the Imnites; of Ishvi, the family of the Ishvites; of Beriah, the family of the Beriites.Of the sons of Beriah: of Heber, the family of the Heberites; of Malchiel, the family of the Malchielites.And the name of the daughter of Asher was Serah.These are the families of the sons of Asher by those who were numbered of them, 53,400.The sons of Naphtali by their families: of Jahzeel, the family of the Jahzeelites; of Guni, the family of the Gunites;of Jezer, the family of the Jezerites; of Shillem, the family of the Shillemites.These are the families of Naphtali by their families; and those who were numbered of them were 45,400.These are the ones who were numbered of the sons of Israel, 601,730.Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,“ Among these the land shall be divided as an inheritance according to the number of names.To a larger group you shall increase their inheritance, and to a smaller group you shall decrease their inheritance; each shall be given their inheritance corresponding to the total of those who were numbered of them.But the land shall be divided by lot. They shall receive their inheritance according to the names of the tribes of their fathers.Corresponding to the selection by lot, their inheritance shall be divided between the larger and the smaller groups.”These are those who were numbered of the Levites according to their families: of Gershon, the family of the Gershonites; of Kohath, the family of the Kohathites; of Merari, the family of the Merarites.These are the families of Levi: the family of the Libnites, the family of the Hebronites, the family of the Mahlites, the family of the Mushites, and the family of the Korahites. Kohath fathered Amram.And the name of Amram’s wife was Jochebed, the daughter of Levi, who was born to Levi in Egypt; and she bore to Amram Aaron and Moses, and their sister Miriam.And to Aaron were born Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar.But Nadab and Abihu died when they offered strange fire before the Lord.Those who were numbered of them were twenty three thousand, every male from a month old and upward, for they were not numbered among the sons of Israel since no inheritance was given to them among the sons of Israel.These are the ones who were numbered by Moses and Eleazar the priest, who numbered the sons of Israel in the plains of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho.But among these there was not a man of those who were numbered by Moses and Aaron the priest, who numbered the sons of Israel in the wilderness of Sinai.For the Lord had said of them,“ They shall certainly die in the wilderness.” And not a man was left of them, except Caleb the son of Jephunneh and Joshua the son of Nun.

These were the sons of Israel: Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, Zebulun,Dan, Joseph, Benjamin, Naphtali, Gad, and Asher.The sons of Judah were Er, Onan, and Shelah; these three were born to him by Bath shua the Canaanitess. But Er, Judah’s firstborn, was evil in the sight of the Lord, so He put him to death.His daughter in law Tamar bore him Perez and Zerah. Judah had five sons in all.The sons of Perez were Hezron and Hamul.The sons of Zerah were Zimri, Ethan, Heman, Calcol, and Dara; five of them in all.The son of Carmi was Achar, the one who brought disaster on Israel by violating the ban.The son of Ethan was Azariah.

Then they journeyed on from Bethel; but when there was still some distance to go to Ephrath, Rachel began to give birth and she suffered severe difficulties in her labor.And when she was suffering severe difficulties in her labor, the midwife said to her,“ Do not fear, for you have another son!”And it came about, as her soul was departing( for she died), that she named him Ben oni; but his father called him Benjamin.So Rachel died and was buried on the way to Ephrath( that is, Bethlehem).And Jacob set up a memorial stone over her grave; that is the memorial stone of Rachel’s grave to this day.Then Israel journeyed on and pitched his tent beyond the tower of Eder.And it came about, while Israel was living in that land, that Reuben went and slept with his father’s concubine Bilhah, and Israel heard about it. Now there were twelve sons of Jacob—the sons of Leah were Reuben, Jacob’s firstborn, then Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, and Zebulun;the sons of Rachel were Joseph and Benjamin;and the sons of Bilhah, Rachel’s female slave, were Dan and Naphtali;and the sons of Zilpah, Leah’s female slave, were Gad and Asher. These were the sons of Jacob who were born to him in Paddan aram.

Now the Lord 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 had come out of the land of Egypt, saying,“ Take 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 headfrom twenty years old and upward, whoever is able to go to war in Israel. You and Aaron shall count them by their armies.With you, moreover, there shall be a man of each tribe, each one head of his father’s household.These then are the names of the men who shall stand with you: of the tribe of Reuben, Elizur the son of Shedeur;of the tribe of Simeon, Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai;of the tribe of Judah, Nahshon the son of Amminadab;of Issachar, Nethanel the son of Zuar;of Zebulun, Eliab the son of Helon;of the sons of Joseph: of Ephraim, Elishama the son of Ammihud; of Manasseh, Gamaliel the son of Pedahzur;of Benjamin, Abidan the son of Gideoni;of Dan, Ahiezer the son of Ammishaddai;of Asher, Pagiel the son of Ochran;of Gad, Eliasaph the son of Deuel;of Naphtali, Ahira the son of Enan.These are the men who were called from the congregation, the leaders of their fathers’ tribes; they were the heads of divisions of Israel.”So Moses and Aaron took these men who had been designated by name,and they assembled all the congregation on the first day 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,just as the Lord had commanded Moses. So he counted them in the wilderness of Sinai.Now the sons of Reuben, Israel’s firstborn, their descendants 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 to war,their numbered men of the tribe of Reuben were 46,500.Of the sons of Simeon, their descendants 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 to war,their numbered men of the tribe of Simeon were 59,300.Of the sons of Gad, their descendants by their families, by their fathers’ households, according to the number of names, from twenty years old and upward, whoever was able to go to war,their numbered men of the tribe of Gad were 45,650.Of the sons of Judah, their descendants by their families, by their fathers’ households, according to the number of names, from twenty years old and upward, whoever was able to go to war,their numbered men of the tribe of Judah were 74,600.Of the sons of Issachar, their descendants by their families, by their fathers’ households, according to the number of names, from twenty years old and upward, whoever was able to go to war,their numbered men of the tribe of Issachar were 54,400.Of the sons of Zebulun, their descendants by their families, by their fathers’ households, according to the number of names, from twenty years old and upward, whoever was able to go to war,their numbered men of the tribe of Zebulun were 57,400.Of the sons of Joseph, namely, of the sons of Ephraim, their descendants by their families, by their fathers’ households, according to the number of names, from twenty years old and upward, whoever was able to go to war,their numbered men of the tribe of Ephraim were 40,500.Of the sons of Manasseh, their descendants by their families, by their fathers’ households, according to the number of names, from twenty years old and upward, whoever was able to go to war,their numbered men of the tribe of Manasseh were 32,200.Of the sons of Benjamin, their descendants by their families, by their fathers’ households, according to the number of names, from twenty years old and upward, whoever was able to go to war,their numbered men of the tribe of Benjamin were 35,400.Of the sons of Dan, their descendants by their families, by their fathers’ households, according to the number of names, from twenty years old and upward, whoever was able to go to war,their numbered men of the tribe of Dan were 62,700.Of the sons of Asher, their descendants by their families, by their fathers’ households, according to the number of names, from twenty years old and upward, whoever was able to go to war,their numbered men of the tribe of Asher were 41,500.Of the sons of Naphtali, their descendants by their families, by their fathers’ households, according to the number of names, from twenty years old and upward, whoever was able to go to war,their numbered men of the tribe of Naphtali were 53,400.These are the ones who were numbered, whom Moses and Aaron counted, with the leaders of Israel, twelve men, each of whom was of his father’s household.So all the numbered men of the sons of Israel by their fathers’ households, from twenty years old and upward, whoever was able to go to war in Israel,all the numbered men were 603,550.The Levites, however, were not counted among them by their fathers’ tribe.For the Lord had spoken to Moses, saying,“ Only the tribe of Levi you shall not count, nor shall you take their census among the sons of Israel.And you shall appoint the Levites over the tabernacle of the testimony, and over all its furnishings and over everything that belongs to it. They shall carry the tabernacle and all its furnishings, and they shall take care of it; they shall also camp around the tabernacle.So when the tabernacle is to move on, the Levites shall take it down; and when the tabernacle encamps, the Levites shall set it up. But the layman who comes near it shall be put to death.So the sons of Israel shall camp, each man by his own camp, and each man by his own flag, according to their armies.But the Levites shall camp around the tabernacle of the testimony, so that there will be no divine wrath against the congregation of the sons of Israel. So the Levites shall be responsible for service to the tabernacle of the testimony.”And the sons of Israel did so; in accordance with all that the Lord had commanded Moses, so they did.

“ A voice was heard in Ramah, Weeping and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children; And she refused to be comforted, Because they were no more.”
