2“Take a census of all the congregation of the sons of Israel, by their families (clans), by their fathers’ households, according to the number of names, every male, head by head

3from twenty years old and upward, all in Israel who are able to go out to war. You and Aaron shall number them, army by army.

4And with you there shall be a man [to assist you] from each tribe, each being the head of his father’s household.

5These then are the names of the men who shall stand with you: from [the tribe of] Reuben, Elizur the son of Shedeur;

6from [the tribe of] Simeon, Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai;

7from [the tribe of] Judah, Nahshon the son of Amminadab;

8from [the tribe of] Issachar, Nethanel the son of Zuar;

9from [the tribe of] Zebulun, Eliab the son of Helon;
