1 And Jehovah spoke to Moses in the wilderness of Sinai in the tent of meeting, on the first of the second month, in the second year after their departure from the land of Egypt, saying,2 Take the sum of the whole assembly of the children of Israel, after their families, according to their fathers' houses, by the number of the names, every male, according to their polls;3 from twenty years and upward, all that go forth to military service in Israel: ye shall number them according to their hosts, thou and Aaron.4 And with you there shall be a man for every tribe, a man who is the head of his father's house.5 And these are the names of the men that shall stand with you: for Reuben, Elizur the son of Shedeur;6 for Simeon, Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai;7 for Judah, Nahshon the son of Amminadab;8 for Issachar, Nethaneel the son of Zuar;9 for Zebulun, Eliab the son of Helon;10 for the children of Joseph: for Ephraim, Elishama the son of Ammihud; for Manasseh, Gamaliel the son of Pedahzur;11 for Benjamin, Abidan the son of Gideoni;12 for Dan, Ahiezer the son of Ammishaddai;13 for Asher, Pagiel the son of Ocran;14 for Gad, Eliasaph the son of Deuel;15 for Naphtali, Ahira the son of Enan.16 These were those summoned of the assembly, princes of the tribes of their fathers, the heads of the thousands of Israel.17 And Moses and Aaron took these men who are expressed by their names,18 and gathered the whole assembly together on the first of the second month. And they declared their pedigrees after their families, according to their fathers' houses, by the number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, according to their polls.19 As Jehovah had commanded Moses, so he numbered them in the wilderness of Sinai.20 And the sons of Reuben, Israel's eldest son, their generations, after their families, according to their fathers' houses, by the number of the names, according to their polls, every male from twenty years old and upward, all that went forth to military service:21 those that were numbered of them, of the tribe of Reuben, were forty-six thousand five hundred.22 Of the sons of Simeon: their generations, after their families, according to their fathers' houses, those that were numbered of them, by the number of the names, according to their polls, every male from twenty years old and upward, all that went forth to military service:23 those that were numbered of them, of the tribe of Simeon, were fifty-nine thousand three hundred.24 Of the sons of Gad: their generations, after their families, according to their fathers' houses, by the number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, all that went forth to military service:25 those that were numbered of them, of the tribe of Gad, were forty-five thousand six hundred and fifty.26 Of the sons of Judah: their generations, after their families, according to their fathers' houses, by the number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, all that went forth to military service:27 those that were numbered of them, of the tribe of Judah, were seventy-four thousand six hundred.28 Of the sons of Issachar: their generations, after their families, according to their fathers' houses, by the number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, all that went forth to military service:29 those that were numbered of them, of the tribe of Issachar, were fifty-four thousand four hundred.30 Of the sons of Zebulun: their generations, after their families, according to their fathers' houses, by the number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, all that went forth to military service:31 those that were numbered of them, of the tribe of Zebulun, were fifty-seven thousand four hundred.32 Of the sons of Joseph: of the children of Ephraim: their generations, after their families, according to their fathers' houses, by the number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, all that went forth to military service:33 those that were numbered of them, of the tribe of Ephraim, were forty thousand five hundred.34 Of the children of Manasseh: their generations, after their families, according to their fathers' houses, by the number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, all that went forth to military service:35 those that were numbered of them, of the tribe of Manasseh, were thirty-two thousand two hundred.36 Of the sons of Benjamin: their generations, after their families, according to their fathers' houses, by the number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, all that went forth to military service:37 those that were numbered of them, of the tribe of Benjamin, were thirty-five thousand four hundred.38 Of the sons of Dan: their generations, after their families, according to their fathers' houses, by the number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, all that went forth to military service:39 those that were numbered of them, of the tribe of Dan, were sixty-two thousand seven hundred.40 Of the sons of Asher: their generations, after their families, according to their fathers' houses, by the number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, all that went forth to military service:41 those that were numbered of them, of the tribe of Asher, were forty-one thousand five hundred.42 Of the sons of Naphtali: their generations, after their families, according to their fathers' houses, by the number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, all that went forth to military service:43 those that were numbered of them, of the tribe of Naphtali, were fifty-three thousand four hundred.44 These are those that were numbered, whom Moses and Aaron numbered, and the princes of Israel, the twelve men: each one was for the house of his fathers.45 And all those that were numbered of the children of Israel, according to their fathers' houses, from twenty years old and upward, all that went forth to military service in Israel,46 all they that were numbered were six hundred and three thousand five hundred and fifty.47 But the Levites after the tribe of their fathers were not numbered among them.48 For Jehovah had spoken to 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, 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 its vessels; and they shall serve it, and round about the tabernacle shall they encamp;51 and when the tabernacle setteth forward, the Levites shall take it down; and when the tabernacle encampeth, the Levites shall set it up; and the stranger that cometh near shall be put to death.52 And the children of Israel shall encamp every man in his camp, and every man by his own standard, according to their hosts;53 but the Levites shall encamp round about the tabernacle of testimony, that there come not wrath upon the assembly of the children of Israel; and the Levites shall keep the charge of the tabernacle of testimony.54 And the children of Israel did so; according to all that Jehovah had commanded Moses, so did they.

1 Verder het die HERE met Moses gespreek in die woestyn Sinai, in die tent van samekoms, op die eerste van die tweede maand, in die tweede jaar nadat hulle uit Egipteland uitgetrek het, en gesê:2 Neem julle die volle getal van die hele vergadering van die kinders van Israel op volgens hulle geslagte, volgens hulle families, na die getal name, almal wat manlik is, hoof vir hoof;3 van twintig jaar oud en daarbo, almal wat op kommando moet uittrek in Israel, die moet julle tel volgens hulle leërafdelings, jy en A„ron.4 En met julle saam moet daar van elke stam 'n man wees, 'n man wat hoof is van sy families.5 En dit is die name van die manne wat julle moet bystaan: Vir Ruben: El¡sur, die seun van Sed,r;6 vir S¡meon: Selumiël, die seun van Sur¡saddai;7 vir Juda: Nagson, die seun van Amm¡nadab;8 vir Issaskar: Net neël, die seun van Suar;9 vir S,bulon: El¡ab, die seun van Helon;10 vir die kinders van Josef: vir Efraim: Elis ma, die seun van Amm¡hud; vir Manasse: G mliël, die seun van Ped sur;11 vir Benjamin: Ab¡dan, die seun van Gideoni;12 vir Dan, Ahiëser, die seun van Amm¡saddai;13 vir Aser: P giël, die seun van Ogran;14 vir Gad: ljasaf, die seun van R,huel;15 vir N ftali: Ah¡ra, die seun van Enan.16 Dit was hulle wat uit die vergadering opgeroep was, die owerstes van hulle voorvaderlike stamme, die stamhoofde van Israel.17 Toe het Moses en A„ron die manne geneem wat met hulle name aangewys was,18 en hulle het die hele vergadering op die eerste dag van die tweede maand bymekaar laat kom; en die het hulle afkoms opgegee volgens hulle geslagte, volgens hulle families, na die getal name, van twintig jaar oud en daarbo, hoof vir hoof,19 soos die HERE Moses beveel het. En hy het hulle getel in die woestyn Sinai.20 En die seuns van Ruben, die eersgeborene van Israel -- hulle nakomelinge volgens hulle geslagte, volgens hulle families, na die getal name, hoof vir hoof, almal wat manlik was, van twintig jaar oud en daarbo, almal wat op kommando moet uittrek --21 hulle geteldes van die stam van Ruben was ses en veertig duisend vyf honderd.22 Van die seuns van S¡meon, hulle nakomelinge volgens hulle geslagte, volgens hulle families, na die getal name, hoof vir hoof, almal wat manlik was, van twintig jaar oud en daarbo, almal wat op kommando moet uittrek --23 hulle geteldes van die stam van S¡meon was nege en vyftig duisend drie honderd.24 Van die seuns van Gad, hulle nakomelinge volgens hulle geslagte, volgens hulle families, na die getal name, van twintig jaar oud en daarbo, almal wat op kommando moet uittrek --25 hulle geteldes van die stam van Gad was vyf en veertig duisend ses honderd en vyftig.26 Van die seuns van Juda, hulle nakomelinge volgens hulle geslagte, volgens hulle families, na die getal name, van twintig jaar oud en daarbo, almal wat op kommando moet uittrek --27 hulle geteldes van die stam van Juda was vier en sewentig duisend ses honderd.28 Van die seuns van Issaskar, hulle nakomelinge volgens hulle geslagte, volgens hulle families, na die getal name, van twintig jaar oud en daarbo, almal wat op kommando moet uittrek --29 hulle geteldes van die stam van Issaskar was vier en vyftig duisend vier honderd.30 Van die seuns van S,bulon, hulle nakomelinge volgens hulle geslagte, volgens hulle families, na die getal name, van twintig jaar oud en daarbo, almal wat op kommando moet uittrek --31 hulle geteldes van die stam van S,bulon was sewe en vyftig duisend vier honderd.32 Van die seuns van Josef, van die seuns van Efraim, hulle nakomelinge volgens hulle geslagte, volgens hulle families, na die getal name, van twintig jaar oud en daarbo, almal wat op kommando moet uittrek --33 hulle geteldes van die stam van Efraim was veertig duisend vyf honderd;34 van die seuns van Manasse, hulle nakomelinge volgens hulle geslagte, volgens hulle families, na die getal name, van twintig jaar oud en daarbo, almal wat op kommando moet uittrek --35 hulle geteldes van die stam van Manasse was twee en dertig duisend twee honderd.36 Van die seuns van Benjamin, hulle nakomelinge volgens hulle geslagte, volgens hulle families, na die getal name, van twintig jaar oud en daarbo, almal wat op kommando moet uittrek --37 hulle geteldes van die stam van Benjamin was vyf en dertig duisend vier honderd.38 Van die seuns van Dan, hulle nakomelinge volgens hulle geslagte, volgens hulle families, na die getal name, van twintig jaar oud en daarbo, almal wat op kommando moet uittrek --39 hulle geteldes van die stam van Dan was twee en sestig duisend sewe honderd.40 Van die seuns van Aser, hulle nakomelinge volgens hulle geslagte, volgens hulle families, na die getal name, van twintig jaar oud en daarbo, almal wat op kommando moet uittrek --41 hulle geteldes van die stam van Aser was een en veertig duisend vyf honderd.42 Van die seuns van N ftali, hulle nakomelinge volgens hulle geslagte, volgens hulle families, na die getal name, van twintig jaar oud en daarbo, almal wat op kommando moet uittrek --43 hulle geteldes van die stam van N ftali was drie en vyftig duisend vier honderd.44 Dit is die geteldes wat Moses en A„ron en die owerstes van Israel getel het; twaalf man was dit, elkeen vir sy families.45 So was dan al die geteldes van die kinders van Israel volgens hulle families, van twintig jaar oud en daarbo, almal wat in Israel op kommando moet uittrek --46 al die geteldes dan was ses honderd en drie duisend vyf honderd en vyftig.47 Maar die Leviete, volgens hulle voorvaderlike stam, is onder hulle nie getel nie.48 Die HERE het naamlik met Moses gespreek en gesê:49 Net die stam van Levi moet jy nie tel nie en hulle volle getal onder die kinders van Israel nie opneem nie;50 maar stel jy die Leviete aan oor die tabernakel van die Getuienis en oor al sy gereedskap en oor alles wat daarby behoort. Hulle moet die tabernakel dra en alles wat daarby behoort, en hulle moet dit bedien en rondom die tabernakel laer opslaan.51 En as die tabernakel wegtrek, moet die Leviete dit afbreek; en as die tabernakel rus, moet die Leviete dit oprig; en die onbevoegde wat nader kom, moet gedood word.52 En die kinders van Israel moet laer opslaan elkeen op sy laerplek en elkeen by sy vaandel, volgens hulle leërafdelings.53 Maar die Leviete moet laer opslaan rondom die tabernakel van die Getuienis, dat daar geen toorn oor die vergadering van die kinders van Israel kom nie. So moet dan die Leviete die diens van die tabernakel van die Getuienis waarneem.54 En die kinders van Israel het dit gedoen; net soos die HERE Moses beveel het, so het hulle gedoen.
