Numbers 1:1-10

1The Lord spoke to Moses in the tent of meeting in the Wilderness of Sinai, on the first day of the second month of the second year after Israel’s departure from the land of Egypt:

2“Take a census of the entire Israelite community by their clans and their ancestral families, counting the names of every male one by one.

3You and Aaron are to register those who are twenty years old or more by their military divisions — everyone who can serve in Israel’s army.

4A man from each tribe is to be with you, each one the head of his ancestral family.

5These are the names of the men who are to assist you: Elizur son of Shedeur from Reuben;

6Shelumiel son of Zurishaddai from Simeon;

7Nahshon son of Amminadab from Judah;

8Nethanel son of Zuar from Issachar;

9Eliab son of Helon from Zebulun;

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