Revelation 7:1-8

1After this I saw 1four angels standing at the 2four corners of the earth, holding back 3the four winds of the earth 4so that no wind would blow on the earth, or on the sea, or on any tree. 2And I saw another angel ascending 5from the rising of the sun, holding the 6seal of 7the living God; and he called out with a loud voice to the 8four angels to whom it was granted to harm the earth and the sea, 3saying, “9Do not harm the earth, or the sea, or the trees until we have 10sealed the bond-servants of our God on their 11foreheads.”

4And I heard the 12number of those who were sealed: 13144,000, sealed from every tribe of the sons of Israel: 5from the tribe of Judah, twelve thousand were sealed, from the tribe of Reuben twelve thousand, from the tribe of Gad twelve thousand, 6from the tribe of Asher twelve thousand, from the tribe of Naphtali twelve thousand, from the tribe of Manasseh twelve thousand, 7from the tribe of Simeon twelve thousand, from the tribe of Levi twelve thousand, from the tribe of Issachar twelve thousand, 8from the tribe of Zebulun twelve thousand, from the tribe of Joseph twelve thousand, and from the tribe of Benjamin, twelve thousand were sealed.
