Numbers 1:2-18

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;

11Abidan son of Gideoni from Benjamin;

12Ahiezer son of Ammishaddai from Dan;

13Pagiel son of Ochran from Asher;

14Eliasaph son of Deuel from Gad;

15Ahira son of Enan from Naphtali.

16These are the men called from the community; they are leaders of their ancestral tribes, the heads of Israel’s clans.”

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

18and they assembled the whole community on the first day of the second month. They recorded their ancestry by their clans and their ancestral families, counting one by one the names of those twenty years old or more,
