Numbers 1

The Message Bible MSG

1 God spoke to Moses in the Wilderness of Sinai at the Tent of Meeting on the first day of the second month in the second year after they had left Egypt. He said,

2 "Number the congregation of the People of Israel by clans and families, writing down the names of every male.

3 You and Aaron are to register, company by company, every man who is twenty years and older who is able to fight in the army.

4 Pick one man from each tribe who is head of his family to help you.

5 These are the names of the men who will help you: from Reuben: Elizur son of Shedeur

6 from Simeon: Shelumiel son of Zurishaddai

7 from Judah: Nahshon son of Amminadab

8 from Issachar: Nethanel son of Zuar

9 from Zebulun: Eliab son of Helon

10 from the sons of Joseph, from Ephraim: Elishama son of Ammihud from Manasseh: Gamaliel son of Pedahzur

11 from Benjamin: Abidan son of Gideoni

12 from Dan: Ahiezer son of Ammishaddai

13 from Asher: Pagiel son of Ocran

14 from Gad: Eliasaph son of Deuel

15 from Naphtali: Ahira son of Enan."

16 These were the men chosen from the congregation, leaders of their ancestral tribes, heads of Israel's military divisions.

17 Moses and Aaron took these men who had been named to help

18 and gathered the whole congregation together on the first day of the second month. The people registered themselves in their tribes according to their ancestral families, putting down the names of those who were twenty years old and older,

19 just as God commanded Moses. He numbered them in the Wilderness of Sinai.

20 The line of Reuben, Israel's firstborn: The men were counted off head by head, every male twenty years and older who was able to fight in the army, registered by tribes according to their ancestral families.

21 The tribe of Reuben numbered 46,500.

22 The line of Simeon: The men were counted off head by head, every male twenty years and older who was able to fight in the army, registered by clans and families.

23 The tribe of Simeon numbered 59,300.

24 The line of Gad: The men were counted off head by head, every male twenty years and older who was able to fight in the army, registered by clans and families.

25 The tribe of Gad numbered 45,650.

26 The line of Judah: The men were counted off head by head, every male twenty years and older who was able to fight in the army, registered by clans and families.

27 The tribe of Judah numbered 74,600.

28 The line of Issachar: The men were counted off head by head, every male twenty years and older who was able to fight in the army, registered by clans and families.

29 The tribe of Issachar numbered 54,400.

30 The line of Zebulun: The men were counted off head by head, every male twenty years and older who was able to fight in the army, registered by clans and families.

31 The tribe of Zebulun numbered 57,400.

32 The line of Joseph: From son Ephraim the men were counted off head by head, every male twenty years and older who was able to fight in the army, registered by clans and families.

33 The tribe of Ephraim numbered 40,500.

34 And from son Manasseh the men were counted off head by head, every male twenty years and older who was able to fight in the army, registered by clans and families.

35 The tribe of Manasseh numbered 32,200.

36 The line of Benjamin: The men were counted off head by head, every male twenty years and older who was able to fight in the army, registered by clans and families.

37 The tribe of Benjamin numbered 35,400.

38 The line of Dan: The men were counted off head by head, every male twenty years and older who was able to fight in the army, registered by clans and families.

39 The tribe of Dan numbered 62,700.

40 The line of Asher: The men were counted off head by head, every male twenty years and older who was able to fight in the army, registered by clans and families.

41 The tribe of Asher numbered 41,500.

42 The line of Naphtali: The men were counted off head by head, every male twenty years and older who was able to fight in the army, registered by clans and families.

43 The tribe of Naphtali numbered 53,400.

44 These are the numbers of those registered by Moses and Aaron, registered with the help of the leaders of Israel, twelve men, each representing his ancestral family.

45 The sum total of the People of Israel twenty years old and over who were able to fight in the army, counted by ancestral family, was 603,550.

46

47 The Levites, however, were not counted by their ancestral family along with the others.

48 God had told Moses,

49 "The tribe of Levi is an exception: Don't register them. Don't count the tribe of Levi; don't include them in the general census of the People of Israel.

50 Instead, appoint the Levites to be in charge of The Dwelling of The Testimony - over all its furnishings and everything connected with it. Their job is to carry The Dwelling and all its furnishings, maintain it, and camp around it.

51 When it's time to move The Dwelling, the Levites will take it down, and when it's time to set it up, the Levites will do it. Anyone else who even goes near it will be put to death.

52 "The rest of the People of Israel will set up their tents in companies, every man in his own camp under its own flag.

53 But the Levites will set up camp around The Dwelling of The Testimony so that wrath will not fall on the community of Israel. The Levites are responsible for the security of The Dwelling of The Testimony."

54 The People of Israel did everything that God commanded Moses. They did it all.

New Living Translation NLT

1 A 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,

2 “From the whole community of Israel, record the names of all the warriors by their clans and families. List all the men

3 twenty years old or older who are able to go to war. You and Aaron must register the troops,

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

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

6 Simeon Shelumiel son of Zurishaddai

7 Judah Nahshon son of Amminadab

8 Issachar Nethanel son of Zuar

9 Zebulun Eliab son of Helon

10 Ephraim son of Joseph Elishama son of Ammihud Manasseh son of Joseph Gamaliel son of Pedahzur

11 Benjamin Abidan son of Gideoni

12 Dan Ahiezer son of Ammishaddai

13 Asher Pagiel son of Ocran

14 Gad Eliasaph son of Deuel

15 Naphtali Ahira son of Enan

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

17 So Moses and Aaron called together these chosen leaders,

18 and 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,

19 just as the LORD had commanded Moses. So Moses recorded their names in the wilderness of Sinai.

20 This is the number of men twenty years old or older who were able to go to war, as their names were listed in the records of their clans and families :

21

22 Simeon 59,300

23

24 Gad 45,650

25

26 Judah 74,600

27

28 Issachar 54,400

29

30 Zebulun 57,400

31

32 Ephraim son of Joseph 40,500

33

34 Manasseh son of Joseph 32,200

35

36 Benjamin 35,400

37

38 Dan 62,700

39

40 Asher 41,500

41

42 Naphtali 53,400

43

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

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

46 The total number was 603,550.

47 But this total did not include the Levites.

48 For the LORD had said to Moses,

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

50 Put 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.

51 Whenever 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.

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

53 But 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.”

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