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.”

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.”

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.”

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.”

And he returned to his brothers and said,“ The lad is no more; and I, where shall I go?”

And we said to my Lord,‘ We have a father, an old man, and a child of his old age, who is young; his brother is dead, and he alone is left of his mother’s children, and his father loves him.’

We are twelve brothers, sons of our father; one is no more, and the youngest is with our father this day in the land of Canaan.’

But they said,“ The man asked us pointedly about ourselves and our family, saying,‘ Is your father still alive? Have you another brother?’ And we told him according to these words. Could we possibly have known that he would say,‘ Bring your brother down’?”

Thus says the Lord:“ A voice was heard in Ramah, Lamentation and bitter weeping, Rachel weeping for her children, Refusing to be comforted for her children, Because they are no more.”

Reuben, Simeon, Levi, and Judah;Issachar, Zebulun, and Benjamin;Dan, Naphtali, Gad, and Asher.All those who were descendants of Jacob were seventy persons( for Joseph was in Egypt already).

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

And they told him, saying,“ Joseph is still alive, and he is governor over all the land of Egypt.” And Jacob’s heart stood still, because he did not believe them.

Now these were the names of the children of Israel, Jacob and his sons, who went to Egypt: Reuben was Jacob’s firstborn.The sons of Reuben were Hanoch, Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi.The sons of Simeon were Jemuel, Jamin, Ohad, Jachin, Zohar, and Shaul, the son of a Canaanite woman.The sons of Levi were Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.The sons of Judah were Er, Onan, Shelah, Perez, and Zerah( but Er and Onan died in the land of Canaan). The sons of Perez were Hezron and Hamul.The sons of Issachar were Tola, Puvah, Job, and Shimron.The sons of Zebulun were Sered, Elon, and Jahleel.These were the sons of Leah, whom she bore to Jacob in Padan Aram, with his daughter Dinah. All the persons, his sons and his daughters, were thirty-three.The sons of Gad were Ziphion, Haggi, Shuni, Ezbon, Eri, Arodi, and Areli.The sons of Asher were Jimnah, Ishuah, Isui, Beriah, and Serah, their sister. And the sons of Beriah were Heber and Malchiel.These were the sons of Zilpah, whom Laban gave to Leah his daughter; and these she bore to Jacob: sixteen persons.The sons of Rachel, Jacob’s wife, were Joseph and Benjamin.And to Joseph in the land of Egypt were born Manasseh and Ephraim, whom Asenath, the daughter of Poti-Pherah priest of On, bore to him.The sons of Benjamin were Belah, Becher, Ashbel, Gera, Naaman, Ehi, Rosh, Muppim, Huppim, and Ard.These were the sons of Rachel, who were born to Jacob: fourteen persons in all.The son of Dan was Hushim.The sons of Naphtali were Jahzeel, Guni, Jezer, and Shillem.These were the sons of Bilhah, whom Laban gave to Rachel his daughter, and she bore these to Jacob: seven persons in all.All the persons who went with Jacob to Egypt, who came from his body, besides Jacob’s sons’ wives, were sixty-six persons in all.And the sons of Joseph who were born to him in Egypt were two persons. All the persons of the house of Jacob who went to Egypt were seventy.

And Jacob their father said to them,“ You have bereaved me: Joseph is no more, Simeon is no more, and you want to take Benjamin. All these things are against me.”

And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:“ Make two silver trumpets for yourself; you shall make them of hammered work; you shall use them for calling the congregation and for directing the movement of the camps.When they blow both of them, all the congregation shall gather before you at the door of the tabernacle of meeting.But if they blow only one, then the leaders, the heads of the divisions of Israel, shall gather to you.When you sound the advance, the camps that lie on the east side shall then begin their journey.When you sound the advance the second time, then the camps that lie on the south side shall begin their journey; they shall sound the call for them to begin their journeys.And when the assembly is to be gathered together, you shall blow, but not sound the advance.The sons of Aaron, the priests, shall blow the trumpets; and these shall be to you as an ordinance forever throughout your generations.“ When you go to war in your land against the enemy who oppresses you, then you shall sound an alarm with the trumpets, and you will be remembered before the Lord your God, and you will be saved from your enemies.Also in the day of your gladness, in your appointed feasts, and at the beginning of your months, you shall blow the trumpets over your burnt offerings and over the sacrifices of your peace offerings; and they shall be a memorial for you before your God: I am the Lord your God.”Now it came to pass on the twentieth day of the second month, in the second year, that the cloud was taken up from above the tabernacle of the Testimony.And the children of Israel set out from the Wilderness of Sinai on their journeys; then the cloud settled down in the Wilderness of Paran.So they started out for the first time according to the command of the Lord by the hand of Moses.The standard of the camp of the children of Judah set out first according to their armies; over their army was Nahshon the son of Amminadab.Over the army of the tribe of the children of Issachar was Nethanel the son of Zuar.And over the army of the tribe of the children of Zebulun was Eliab the son of Helon.Then the tabernacle was taken down; and the sons of Gershon and the sons of Merari set out, carrying the tabernacle.And the standard of the camp of Reuben set out according to their armies; over their army was Elizur the son of Shedeur.Over the army of the tribe of the children of Simeon was Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai.And over the army of the tribe of the children of Gad was Eliasaph the son of Deuel.Then the Kohathites set out, carrying the holy things.( The tabernacle would be prepared for their arrival.)And the standard of the camp of the children of Ephraim set out according to their armies; over their army was Elishama the son of Ammihud.Over the army of the tribe of the children of Manasseh was Gamaliel the son of Pedahzur.And over the army of the tribe of the children of Benjamin was Abidan the son of Gideoni.Then the standard of the camp of the children of Dan( the rear guard of all the camps) set out according to their armies; over their army was Ahiezer the son of Ammishaddai.Over the army of the tribe of the children of Asher was Pagiel the son of Ocran.And over the army of the tribe of the children of Naphtali was Ahira the son of Enan.Thus was the order of march of the children of Israel, according to their armies, when they began their journey.Now Moses said to Hobab the son of Reuel the Midianite, Moses’ father-in-law,“ We are setting out for the place of which the Lord said,‘ I will give it to you.’ Come with us, and we will treat you well; for the Lord has promised good things to Israel.”And he said to him,“ I will not go, but I will depart to my own land and to my relatives.”So Moses said,“ Please do not leave, inasmuch as you know how we are to camp in the wilderness, and you can be our eyes.And it shall be, if you go with us— indeed it shall be— that whatever good the Lord will do to us, the same we will do to you.”So they departed from the mountain of the Lord on a journey of three days; and the ark of the covenant of the Lord went before them for the three days’ journey, to search out a resting place for them.And the cloud of the Lord was above them by day when they went out from the camp.So it was, whenever the ark set out, that Moses said:“ Rise up, O Lord! Let Your enemies be scattered, And let those who hate You flee before You.”And when it rested, he said:“ Return, O Lord, To the many thousands of Israel.”

Then Rachel said,“ God has judged my case; and He has also heard my voice and given me a son.” Therefore she called his name Dan.And Rachel’s maid Bilhah conceived again and bore Jacob a second son.Then Rachel said,“ With great wrestlings I have wrestled with my sister, and indeed I have prevailed.” So she called his name Naphtali.When Leah saw that she had stopped bearing, she took Zilpah her maid and gave her to Jacob as wife.And Leah’s maid Zilpah bore Jacob a son.Then Leah said,“ A troop comes!” So she called his name Gad.And Leah’s maid Zilpah bore Jacob a second son.Then Leah said,“ I am happy, for the daughters will call me blessed.” So she called his name Asher.Now Reuben went in the days of wheat harvest and found mandrakes 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 that you have taken away my husband? Would you take away my son’s mandrakes also?” And Rachel said,“ Therefore he will lie with you tonight for your son’s mandrakes.”When Jacob came out of the field in the evening, Leah went out to meet him and said,“ You must come in to me, for I have surely hired you with my son’s mandrakes.” And he lay with her that night.And God listened to Leah, and she conceived and bore Jacob a fifth son.Leah said,“ God has given me my wages, because I have given my maid to my husband.” So she called his name Issachar.Then Leah conceived again and bore Jacob a sixth son.And Leah said,“ God has endowed me with a good endowment; now my husband will dwell with me, because I have borne him six sons.” So she called his name Zebulun.Afterward she bore a daughter, and called her name Dinah.Then God remembered Rachel, and God listened to her and opened her womb.And she conceived and bore a son, and said,“ God has taken away my reproach.”So she called his name Joseph, and said,“ The Lord shall add to me another son.”

But he said,“ My son shall not go down with you, for his brother is dead, and he is left alone. If any calamity should befall him along the way in which you go, then you would bring down my gray hair with sorrow to the grave.”

So Leah conceived and bore a son, and she called his name Reuben; for she said,“ The Lord has surely looked on my affliction. Now therefore, my husband will love me.”Then she conceived again and bore a son, and said,“ Because the Lord has heard that I am unloved, He has therefore given me this son also.” And she called his name Simeon.She conceived again and bore a son, and said,“ Now this time my husband will become attached to me, because I have borne him three sons.” Therefore his name was called Levi.And she conceived again and bore a son, and said,“ Now I will praise the Lord.” Therefore she called his name Judah. Then she stopped bearing.

Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,“ Command the children of Israel, and say to them:‘ When you come into the land of Canaan, this is the land that shall fall to you as an inheritance— the land of Canaan to its boundaries.Your southern border shall be from the Wilderness of Zin along the border of Edom; then your southern border shall extend eastward to the end of the Salt Sea;your border shall turn from the southern side of the Ascent of Akrabbim, continue to Zin, and be on the south of Kadesh Barnea; then it shall go on to Hazar Addar, and continue to Azmon;the border shall turn from Azmon to the Brook of Egypt, and it shall end at the Sea.‘ As for the western border, you shall have the Great Sea for a border; this shall be your western border.‘ And this shall be your northern border: From the Great Sea you shall mark out your border line to Mount Hor;from Mount Hor you shall mark out your border to the entrance of Hamath; then the direction of the border shall be toward Zedad;the border shall proceed to Ziphron, and it shall end at Hazar Enan. This shall be your northern border.‘ You shall mark out your eastern border from Hazar Enan to Shepham;the border shall go down from Shepham to Riblah on the east side of Ain; the border shall go down and reach to the eastern side of the Sea of Chinnereth;the border shall go down along the Jordan, and it shall end at the Salt Sea. This shall be your land with its surrounding boundaries.’”Then Moses commanded the children of Israel, saying:“ This is the land which you shall inherit by lot, which the Lord has commanded to give to the nine tribes and to the half-tribe.For the tribe of the children of Reuben according to the house of their fathers, and the tribe of the children of Gad according to the house of their fathers, have received their inheritance; and the half-tribe of Manasseh has received its inheritance.The two tribes and the half-tribe have received their inheritance on this side of the Jordan, across from Jericho eastward, toward the sunrise.”And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,“ These are the names of the men who shall divide the land among you as an inheritance: Eleazar the priest and Joshua the son of Nun.And you shall take one leader of every tribe to divide the land for the inheritance.These are the names of the men: from the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh;from the tribe of the children of Simeon, Shemuel the son of Ammihud;from the tribe of Benjamin, Elidad the son of Chislon;a leader from the tribe of the children of Dan, Bukki the son of Jogli;from the sons of Joseph: a leader from the tribe of the children of Manasseh, Hanniel the son of Ephod,and a leader from the tribe of the children of Ephraim, Kemuel the son of Shiphtan;a leader from the tribe of the children of Zebulun, Elizaphan the son of Parnach;a leader from the tribe of the children of Issachar, Paltiel the son of Azzan;a leader from the tribe of the children of Asher, Ahihud the son of Shelomi;and a leader from the tribe of the children of Naphtali, Pedahel the son of Ammihud.”These are the ones the Lord commanded to divide the inheritance among the children of Israel in the land of Canaan.

Our fathers sinned and are no more, But we bear their iniquities.

And it came to pass, after the plague, that the Lord spoke to Moses and Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest, saying:“ Take a census of all the congregation of the children of Israel from twenty years old and above, by their fathers’ houses, all who are able to go to war in Israel.”So Moses and Eleazar the priest spoke with them in the plains of Moab by the Jordan, across from Jericho, saying:“ Take a census of the people from twenty years old and above, just as the Lord commanded Moses and the children of Israel who came out of the land of Egypt.”Reuben was the firstborn of Israel. The children of Reuben were: 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: those who were numbered of them were forty-three thousand seven hundred and thirty.And the son of Pallu was Eliab.The sons of Eliab were Nemuel, Dathan, and Abiram. These are the Dathan and Abiram, representatives of the congregation, who contended against Moses and Aaron in the company of Korah, when they contended against the Lord;and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed them up together with Korah when that company died, when the fire devoured two hundred and fifty men; and they became a sign.Nevertheless the children of Korah did not die.The sons of Simeon according to their families were: 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 Zarhites; of Shaul, the family of the Shaulites.These are the families of the Simeonites: twenty-two thousand two hundred.The sons of Gad according to their families were: 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: forty thousand five hundred.The sons of Judah were Er and Onan; and Er and Onan died in the land of Canaan.And the sons of Judah according to their families were: of Shelah, the family of the Shelanites; of Perez, the family of the Parzites; of Zerah, the family of the Zarhites.And 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 according to those who were numbered of them: seventy-six thousand five hundred.The sons of Issachar according to their families were: of Tola, the family of the Tolaites; of Puah, 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 according to those who were numbered of them: sixty-four thousand three hundred.The sons of Zebulun according to their families were: of Sered, the family of the Sardites; of Elon, the family of the Elonites; of Jahleel, the family of the Jahleelites.These are the families of the Zebulunites according to those who were numbered of them: sixty thousand five hundred.The sons of Joseph according to their families, by Manasseh and Ephraim, were:The sons of Manasseh: of Machir, the family of the Machirites; and Machir begot Gilead; of Gilead, the family of the Gileadites.These are the sons of Gilead: of Jeezer, the family of the Jeezerites; of Helek, the family of the Helekites;of Asriel, the family of the Asrielites; of Shechem, the family of the Shechemites;of Shemida, the family of the Shemidaites; of Hepher, the family of the Hepherites.Now Zelophehad the son of Hepher had no sons, but 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 fifty-two thousand seven hundred.These are the sons of Ephraim according to their families: of Shuthelah, the family of the Shuthalhites; of Becher, the family of the Bachrites; of Tahan, the family of the Tahanites.And these are the sons of Shuthelah: of Eran, the family of the Eranites.These are the families of the sons of Ephraim according to those who were numbered of them: thirty-two thousand five hundred. These are the sons of Joseph according to their families.The sons of Benjamin according to their families were: of Bela, the family of the Belaites; of Ashbel, the family of the Ashbelites; of Ahiram, the family of the Ahiramites;of Shupham, the family of the Shuphamites; of Hupham, the family of the Huphamites.And 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 according to their families; and those who were numbered of them were forty-five thousand six hundred.These are the sons of Dan according to their families: of Shuham, the family of the Shuhamites. These are the families of Dan according to their families.All the families of the Shuhamites, according to those who were numbered of them, were sixty-four thousand four hundred.The sons of Asher according to their families were: of Jimna, the family of the Jimnites; of Jesui, the family of the Jesuites; 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 according to those who were numbered of them: fifty-three thousand four hundred.The sons of Naphtali according to their families were: 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 according to their families; and those who were numbered of them were forty-five thousand four hundred.These are those who were numbered of the children of Israel: six hundred and one thousand seven hundred and thirty.Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:“ To these the land shall be divided as an inheritance, according to the number of names.To a large tribe you shall give a larger inheritance, and to a small tribe you shall give a smaller inheritance. Each shall be given its inheritance according to those who were numbered of them.But the land shall be divided by lot; they shall inherit according to the names of the tribes of their fathers.According to the lot their inheritance shall be divided between the larger and the smaller.”And 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 the Levites: 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 Korathites. And Kohath begot Amram.The name of Amram’s wife was Jochebed the daughter of Levi, who was born to Levi in Egypt; and to Amram she bore Aaron and Moses and their sister Miriam.To Aaron were born Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar.And Nadab and Abihu died when they offered profane fire before the Lord.Now those who were numbered of them were twenty-three thousand, every male from a month old and above; for they were not numbered among the other children of Israel, because there was no inheritance given to them among the children of Israel.These are those who were numbered by Moses and Eleazar the priest, who numbered the children of Israel in the plains of Moab by the Jordan, across from Jericho.But among these there was not a man of those who were numbered by Moses and Aaron the priest when they numbered the children of Israel in the Wilderness of Sinai.For the Lord had said of them,“ They shall surely die in the wilderness.” So there was not left a man 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 the daughter of Shua, the Canaanitess. Er, the firstborn of Judah, was wicked in the sight of the Lord; so He killed him.And Tamar, his daughter-in-law, bore him Perez and Zerah. All the sons of Judah were five.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 troubler of Israel, who transgressed in the accursed thing.The son of Ethan was Azariah.

Then they journeyed from Bethel. And when there was but a little distance to go to Ephrath, Rachel labored in childbirth, and she had hard labor.Now it came to pass, when she was in hard labor, that the midwife said to her,“ Do not fear; you will have this son also.”And so it was, as her soul was departing( for she died), that she called his name 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 a pillar on her grave, which is the pillar of Rachel’s grave to this day.Then Israel journeyed and pitched his tent beyond the tower of Eder.And it happened, when Israel dwelt in that land, that Reuben went and lay with Bilhah his father’s concubine; and Israel heard about it. Now the sons of Jacob were twelve:the sons of Leah were Reuben, Jacob’s firstborn, and Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, and Zebulun;the sons of Rachel were Joseph and Benjamin;the sons of Bilhah, Rachel’s maidservant, were Dan and Naphtali;and the sons of Zilpah, Leah’s maidservant, were Gad and Asher. These were the sons of Jacob who were born to him in Padan Aram.

Now the Lord spoke to Moses in the Wilderness of Sinai, in the tabernacle 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 children of Israel, by their families, by their fathers’ houses, according to the number of names, every male individually,from twenty years old and above— all who are able to go to war in Israel. You and Aaron shall number them by their armies.And with you there shall be a man from every tribe, each one the head of his father’s house.“ These are the names of the men who shall stand with you: from Reuben, Elizur the son of Shedeur;from Simeon, Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai;from Judah, Nahshon the son of Amminadab;from Issachar, Nethanel the son of Zuar;from Zebulun, Eliab the son of Helon;from the sons of Joseph: from Ephraim, Elishama the son of Ammihud;

and they recited their ancestry by families, by their fathers’ houses, according to the number of names, from twenty years old and above, each one individually.As the Lord commanded Moses, so he numbered them in the Wilderness of Sinai.Now the children of Reuben, Israel’s oldest son, their genealogies by their families, by their fathers’ house, according to the number of names, every male individually, from twenty years old and above, all who were able to go to war:those who were numbered of the tribe of Reuben were forty-six thousand five hundred.From the children of Simeon, their genealogies by their families, by their fathers’ house, of those who were numbered, according to the number of names, every male individually, from twenty years old and above, all who were able to go to war:those who were numbered of the tribe of Simeon were fifty-nine thousand three hundred.From the children of Gad, their genealogies by their families, by their fathers’ house, according to the number of names, from twenty years old and above, all who were able to go to war:those who were numbered of the tribe of Gad were forty-five thousand six hundred and fifty.From the children of Judah, their genealogies by their families, by their fathers’ house, according to the number of names, from twenty years old and above, all who were able to go to war:those who were numbered of the tribe of Judah were seventy-four thousand six hundred.From the children of Issachar, their genealogies by their families, by their fathers’ house, according to the number of names, from twenty years old and above, all who were able to go to war:those who were numbered of the tribe of Issachar were fifty-four thousand four hundred.From the children of Zebulun, their genealogies by their families, by their fathers’ house, according to the number of names, from twenty years old and above, all who were able to go to war:those who were numbered of the tribe of Zebulun were fifty-seven thousand four hundred.From the sons of Joseph, the children of Ephraim, their genealogies by their families, by their fathers’ house, according to the number of names, from twenty years old and above, all who were able to go to war:those who were numbered of the tribe of Ephraim were forty thousand five hundred.From the children of Manasseh, their genealogies by their families, by their fathers’ house, according to the number of names, from twenty years old and above, all who were able to go to war:those who were numbered of the tribe of Manasseh were thirty-two thousand two hundred.From the children of Benjamin, their genealogies by their families, by their fathers’ house, according to the number of names, from twenty years old and above, all who were able to go to war:those who were numbered of the tribe of Benjamin were thirty-five thousand four hundred.From the children of Dan, their genealogies by their families, by their fathers’ house, according to the number of names, from twenty years old and above, all who were able to go to war:those who were numbered of the tribe of Dan were sixty-two thousand seven hundred.From the children of Asher, their genealogies by their families, by their fathers’ house, according to the number of names, from twenty years old and above, all who were able to go to war:those who were numbered of the tribe of Asher were forty-one thousand five hundred.From the children of Naphtali, their genealogies by their families, by their fathers’ house, according to the number of names, from twenty years old and above, all who were able to go to war:those who were numbered of the tribe of Naphtali were fifty-three thousand four hundred.These are the ones who were numbered, whom Moses and Aaron numbered, with the leaders of Israel, twelve men, each one representing his father’s house.So all who were numbered of the children of Israel, by their fathers’ houses, from twenty years old and above, all who were able to go to war in Israel—all who were numbered were six hundred and three thousand five hundred and fifty.But the Levites were not numbered among them by their fathers’ tribe;for the Lord had spoken to Moses, saying:“ Only the tribe of Levi you shall not number, nor take a census of them among the children of Israel;but you shall appoint the Levites over the tabernacle of the Testimony, over all its furnishings, and over all things that belong to it; they shall carry the tabernacle and all its furnishings; they shall attend to it and camp around the tabernacle.And when the tabernacle is to go forward, the Levites shall take it down; and when the tabernacle is to be set up, the Levites shall set it up. The outsider who comes near shall be put to death.The children of Israel shall pitch their tents, everyone by his own camp, everyone by his own standard, according to their armies;but the Levites shall camp around the tabernacle of the Testimony, that there may be no wrath on the congregation of the children of Israel; and the Levites shall keep charge of the tabernacle of the Testimony.”Thus the children of Israel did; according to all that the Lord commanded Moses, so they did.
