2“1Take a 2census of all the congregation of the sons of Israel, by their families, by their fathers’ households, according to the number of names, every male, head by head 3from 3twenty years old and upward, whoever is able to go to war in Israel. You and Aaron shall 4count them by their armies. 4With you, moreover, there shall be a man of each tribe, 5each one head of his father’s household. 5These then are the names of the men who shall stand with you: 6of the tribe of Reuben, Elizur the son of Shedeur; 6of the tribe of Simeon, Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai; 7of the tribe of Judah, 7Nahshon the son of Amminadab; 8of Issachar, Nethanel the son of Zuar; 9of Zebulun, Eliab the son of Helon; 10of the sons of Joseph: of Ephraim, Elishama the son of Ammihud; of Manasseh, Gamaliel the son of Pedahzur; 11of Benjamin, Abidan the son of Gideoni; 12of Dan, Ahiezer the son of Ammishaddai; 13of Asher, Pagiel the son of Ochran; 14of Gad, Eliasaph the son of 8Deuel; 15of Naphtali, Ahira the son of Enan. 16These are the men who were 9called from the congregation, the leaders of their fathers’ tribes; they were the 10heads of 11divisions of Israel.”

17So Moses and Aaron took these men who had been designated by name, 18and they assembled all the congregation on the 12first day of the second month. Then they registered by 13ancestry in their families, by their fathers’ households, according to the number of names, from twenty years old and upward, head by head,
