Numbers 1:2-18

2“Take a census of the whole community of Israel by families and households. List every man by name

3who is at least 20 years old. You and Aaron must register everyone in Israel who is eligible for military duty. List them by divisions.

4One man from each tribe will help you. Each of these men must be the head of a household.

5“Here are the names of the men who will help you: Elizur, son of Shedeur, from the tribe of Reuben;

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

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

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

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

10Elishama, son of Ammihud, from the tribe of Ephraim; Gamaliel, son of Pedahzur, from the tribe of Manasseh; (Ephraim and Manasseh are Joseph’s descendants.)

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

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

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

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

15Ahira, son of Enan, from the tribe of Naphtali.”

16These were the men chosen from the community, the leaders of their ancestors’ tribes, and heads of the divisions of Israel.

17Moses and Aaron took the men who had been named

18and assembled the whole community on the first day of the second month. Each man at least 20 years old provided his genealogy by family and household. Then his name was listed.
