Numbers 1:2-18

2‘Put the people into clans and families and count them. Make a list. Write the name of each man on the list.

3You and Aaron must record the names of all the men in each group who can fight in the army. Record the names of men who are 20 years old or older.

4A man from each tribe must help you. Each of them will be the leader of his family.

5These are the men from each tribe who must help you: Reuben: Elizur, the son of Shedeur.

6Simeon: Shelumiel, the son of Zurishaddai.

7Judah: Nahshon, the son of Amminadab.

8Issachar: Nethanel, the son of Zuar.

9Zebulun: Eliab, the son of Helon.

10Ephraim (Joseph's son): Elishama, the son of Ammihud. Manasseh (Joseph's son): Gamaliel, the son of Pedahzur.

11Benjamin: Abidan, the son of Gideoni.

12Dan: Ahiezer, the son of Ammishaddai.

13Asher: Pagiel, the son of Ocran.

14Gad: Eliasaph, the son of Deuel.

15Naphtali: Ahira, the son of Enan.’

16These were the men that they chose from among the people. They were leaders of their clans. Each of them worked on behalf of the tribe of their ancestor.

17Moses and Aaron told these leaders to come.

18On the first day of the second month, they said that all the Israelite people must come together. The people were in clans and in families. They made a list of all the men who were 20 years old or older.
