Numbers 1:2-18

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;

10from the sons (descendants) of Joseph: from [the tribe of] Ephraim, Elishama the son of Ammihud; from [the tribe of] Manasseh, Gamaliel the son of Pedahzur;

11from [the tribe of] Benjamin, Abidan the son of Gideoni;

12from [the tribe of] Dan, Ahiezer the son of Ammishaddai;

13from [the tribe of] Asher, Pagiel the son of Ochran;

14from [the tribe of] Gad, Eliasaph the son of Deuel;

15from [the tribe of] Naphtali, Ahira the son of Enan.

16These men were the ones called from the congregation, the leaders of their fathers’ (ancestors’) tribes; they were the heads of thousands [the highest ranking officers] in Israel.”

17So Moses and Aaron took these men who were designated by name,

18and assembled all the congregation on the first day of the second month, and they registered by ancestry in their families (clans), by their fathers’ households, according to the number of names from twenty years old and upward, head by head,
