1 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, 2 "Take a census of all the congregation of the children of Israel, by their families, by their fathers’ houses, according to the number of the names, every male, one by one, 3 from twenty years old and upward, all who are able to go out to war in Israel. You and Aaron shall count them by their divisions. 4 With you there shall be a man of every tribe, each one head of his fathers’ house. 5 These are the names of the men who shall stand with you:

Of Reuben: Elizur the son of Shedeur.

6 Of Simeon: Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai.

7 Of Judah: Nahshon the son of Amminadab.

8 Of Issachar: Nethanel the son of Zuar.

9 Of Zebulun: Eliab the son of Helon.

10 Of the children of Joseph: of Ephraim: Elishama the son of Ammihud; of Manasseh: Gamaliel the son of Pedahzur.

11 Of Benjamin: Abidan the son of Gideoni.

12 Of Dan: Ahiezer the son of Ammishaddai.

13 Of Asher: Pagiel the son of Ochran.

14 Of Gad: Eliasaph the son of Deuel.

15 Of Naphtali: Ahira the son of Enan."

16 These are those who were called of the congregation, the princes of the tribes of their fathers; they were the heads of the thousands of Israel. 17 Moses and Aaron took these men who are mentioned by name. 18 They assembled all the congregation together on the first day of the second month; and they declared their ancestry by their families, by their fathers’ houses, according to the number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, one by one. 19 As the LORD commanded Moses, so he counted them in the wilderness of Sinai.

20 The children of Reuben, Israel’s firstborn, their generations, by their families, by their fathers’ houses, according to the number of the names, one by one, every male from twenty years old and upward, all who were able to go out to war: 21 those who were counted of them, of the tribe of Reuben, were forty-six thousand and five hundred.

22 Of the children of Simeon, their generations, by their families, by their fathers’ houses, those who were counted of it, according to the number of the names, one by one, every male from twenty years old and upward, all who were able to go out to war: 23 those who were counted of them, of the tribe of Simeon, were fifty-nine thousand and three hundred.

24 Of the children of Gad, their generations, by their families, by their fathers’ houses, according to the number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, all who were able to go out to war: 25 those who were counted of them, of the tribe of Gad, were forty-five thousand and six hundred and fifty.

26 Of the children of Judah, their generations, by their families, by their fathers’ houses, according to the number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, all who were able to go out to war: 27 those who were counted of them, of the tribe of Judah, were seventy-four thousand and six hundred.

28 Of the children of Issachar, their generations, by their families, by their fathers’ houses, according to the number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, all who were able to go out to war: 29 those who were counted of them, of the tribe of Issachar, were fifty-four thousand and four hundred.

30 Of the children of Zebulun, their generations, by their families, by their fathers’ houses, according to the number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, all who were able to go out to war: 31 those who were counted of them, of the tribe of Zebulun, were fifty-seven thousand and four hundred.

32 Of the children of Joseph: of the children of Ephraim, their generations, by their families, by their fathers’ houses, according to the number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, all who were able to go out to war: 33 those who were counted of them, of the tribe of Ephraim, were forty thousand and five hundred.

34 Of the children of Manasseh, their generations, by their families, by their fathers’ houses, according to the number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, all who were able to go out to war: 35 those who were counted of them, of the tribe of Manasseh, were thirty-two thousand and two hundred.

36 Of the children of Benjamin, their generations, by their families, by their fathers’ houses, according to the number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, all who were able to go out to war: 37 those who were counted of them, of the tribe of Benjamin, were thirty-five thousand and four hundred.

38 Of the children of Dan, their generations, by their families, by their fathers’ houses, according to the number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, all who were able to go out to war: 39 those who were counted of them, of the tribe of Dan, were sixty-two thousand and seven hundred.

40 Of the children of Asher, their generations, by their families, by their fathers’ houses, according to the number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, all who were able to go out to war: 41 those who were counted of them, of the tribe of Asher, were forty-one thousand and five hundred.

42 Of the children of Naphtali, their generations, by their families, by their fathers’ houses, according to the number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, all who were able to go out to war: 43 those who were counted of them, of the tribe of Naphtali, were fifty-three thousand and four hundred.

44 These are those who were counted, whom Moses and Aaron counted, and the twelve men who were princes of Israel, each one for his fathers’ house. 45 So all those who were counted of the children of Israel by their fathers’ houses, from twenty years old and upward, all who were able to go out to war in Israel— 46 all those who were counted were six hundred and three thousand and five hundred and fifty. 47 But the Levites after the tribe of their fathers were not counted amongst them. 48 For the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 49 "Only the tribe of Levi you shall not count, neither shall you take a census of them amongst the children of Israel; 50 but appoint the Levites over the Tabernacle of the Testimony, and over all its furnishings, and over all that belongs to it. They shall carry the tabernacle and all its furnishings; and they shall take care of it, and shall encamp around it. 51 When the tabernacle is to move, the Levites shall take it down; and when the tabernacle is to be set up, the Levites shall set it up. The stranger who comes near shall be put to death. 52 The children of Israel shall pitch their tents, every man by his own camp, and every man by his own standard, according to their divisions. 53 But the Levites shall encamp around the Tabernacle of the Testimony, that there may be no wrath on the congregation of the children of Israel. The Levites shall be responsible for the Tabernacle of the Testimony."

54 Thus the children of Israel did. According to all that the LORD commanded Moses, so they did.

1 Falou mais o Senhor a Moisés, no deserto do Sinai, na tenda da congregação, no primeiro dia do segundo mês, no segundo ano da sua saída da terra do Egito, dizendo: 2 Tomai a soma de toda a congregação dos filhos de Israel, segundo as suas gerações, segundo a casa de seus pais, conforme o número dos nomes de todo varão, cabeça por cabeça; 3 da idade de vinte anos para cima, todos os que saem à guerra em Israel, a estes contareis segundo os seus exércitos, tu e Arão. 4 Estará convosco de cada tribo um homem que seja cabeça da casa de seus pais. 5 Estes, pois, são os nomes dos homens que estarão convosco: De Rúben, Elizur, filho de Sedeur; 6 de Simeão, Selumiel, filho de Zurisadai; 7 de Judá, Naassom, filho de Aminadabe; 8 de Issacar, Natanael, filho de Zuar; 9 de Zebulom, Eliabe, filho de Helom; 10 dos filhos de José: de Efraim, Elisama, filho de Amiúde, e de Manassés, Gamaliel, filho de Pedazur; 11 de Benjamim, Abidã, filho de Gideoni; 12 de Dã, Aiezer, filho de Amisadai; 13 de Aser, Pagiel, filho de Ocrã; 14 de Gade, Eliasafe, filho de Deuel; 15 de Naftali, Aira, filho de Enã. 16 Estes foram os chamados da congregação, os príncipes das tribos de seus pais, os cabeças dos milhares de Israel.

17 Então, tomaram Moisés e Arão a estes homens, que foram declarados pelos seus nomes, 18 e ajuntaram toda a congregação no primeiro dia do segundo mês, e declararam a sua descendência segundo as suas famílias, segundo a casa de seus pais, pelo número dos nomes dos de vinte anos para cima, cabeça por cabeça; 19 como o Senhor ordenara a Moisés, assim os contou no deserto do Sinai.

20 Foram, pois, os filhos de Rúben, o primogênito de Israel, as suas gerações, pelas suas famílias, segundo a casa de seus pais, pelo número dos nomes, cabeça por cabeça, todo varão de vinte anos para cima, todos os que podiam sair à guerra, 21 foram contados deles, da tribo de Rúben, quarenta e seis mil e quinhentos.

22 Dos filhos de Simeão, as suas gerações, pelas suas famílias, segundo a casa de seus pais, os seus contados, pelo número dos nomes, cabeça por cabeça, todo varão de vinte anos para cima, todos os que podiam sair à guerra, 23 foram contados deles, da tribo de Simeão, cinquenta e nove mil e trezentos.

24 Dos filhos de Gade, as suas gerações, pelas suas famílias, segundo a casa de seus pais, pelo número dos nomes dos de vinte anos para cima, todos os que podiam sair à guerra, 25 foram contados deles, da tribo de Gade, quarenta e cinco mil e seiscentos e cinquenta.

26 Dos filhos de Judá, as suas gerações, pelas suas famílias, segundo a casa de seus pais, pelo número dos nomes dos de vinte anos para cima, todos os que podiam sair à guerra, 27 foram contados deles, da tribo de Judá, setenta e quatro mil e seiscentos.

28 Dos filhos de Issacar, as suas gerações, pelas suas famílias, segundo a casa de seus pais, pelo número dos nomes dos de vinte anos para cima, todos os que podiam sair à guerra, 29 foram contados deles, da tribo de Issacar, cinquenta e quatro mil e quatrocentos.

30 Dos filhos de Zebulom, as suas gerações, pelas suas famílias, segundo a casa de seus pais, pelo número dos nomes dos de vinte anos para cima, todos os que podiam sair à guerra, 31 foram contados deles, da tribo de Zebulom, cinquenta e sete mil e quatrocentos.

32 Dos filhos de José, dos filhos de Efraim, as suas gerações, pelas suas famílias, segundo a casa de seus pais, pelo número dos nomes dos de vinte anos para cima, todos os que podiam sair à guerra, 33 foram contados deles, da tribo de Efraim, quarenta mil e quinhentos.

34 Dos filhos de Manassés, as suas gerações, pelas suas famílias, segundo a casa de seus pais, pelo número dos nomes dos de vinte anos para cima, todos os que podiam sair à guerra, 35 foram contados deles, da tribo de Manassés, trinta e dois mil e duzentos.

36 Dos filhos de Benjamim, as suas gerações, pelas suas famílias, segundo a casa de seus pais, pelo número dos nomes dos de vinte anos para cima, todos os que podiam sair à guerra, 37 foram contados deles, da tribo de Benjamim, trinta e cinco mil e quatrocentos.

38 Dos filhos de Dã, as suas gerações, pelas suas famílias, segundo a casa de seus pais, pelo número dos nomes dos de vinte anos para cima, todos os que podiam sair à guerra, 39 foram contados deles, da tribo de Dã, sessenta e dois mil e setecentos.

40 Dos filhos de Aser, as suas gerações, pelas suas famílias, segundo a casa de seus pais, pelo número dos nomes dos de vinte anos para cima, todos os que podiam sair à guerra, 41 foram contados deles, da tribo de Aser, quarenta e um mil e quinhentos.

42 Dos filhos de Naftali, as suas gerações, pelas suas famílias, segundo a casa de seus pais, pelo número dos nomes dos de vinte anos para cima, todos os que podiam sair à guerra, 43 foram contados deles, da tribo de Naftali, cinquenta e três mil e quatrocentos.

44 Estes foram os contados, que contaram Moisés e Arão e os príncipes de Israel, doze homens; cada um era pela casa de seus pais. 45 Assim foram todos os contados dos filhos de Israel, segundo a casa de seus pais, de vinte anos para cima, todos os que podiam sair à guerra em Israel; 46 todos os contados, pois, foram seiscentos e três mil e quinhentos e cinquenta.

47 Mas os levitas, segundo a tribo de seus pais, não foram contados entre eles, 48 porquanto o Senhor tinha falado a Moisés, dizendo: 49 Somente não contarás a tribo de Levi, nem tomarás a soma deles entre os filhos de Israel; 50 mas, tu, põe os levitas sobre o tabernáculo do Testemunho, e sobre todos os seus utensílios, e sobre tudo o que lhe pertence; eles levarão o tabernáculo e todos os seus utensílios; e eles o administrarão e assentarão o seu arraial ao redor do tabernáculo. 51 E, quando o tabernáculo partir, os levitas o desarmarão; e, quando o tabernáculo assentar no arraial, os levitas o armarão; e o estranho que se chegar morrerá. 52 E os filhos de Israel assentarão as suas tendas, cada um no seu esquadrão e cada um junto à sua bandeira, segundo os seus exércitos. 53 Mas os levitas assentarão as suas tendas ao redor do tabernáculo do Testemunho, para que não haja indignação sobre a congregação dos filhos de Israel; pelo que os levitas terão o cuidado da guarda do tabernáculo do Testemunho. 54 Assim fizeram os filhos de Israel; conforme tudo o que o Senhor ordenara a Moisés, assim o fizeram.
