Numbers 1:2-18

2“Take a census of the entire Israelite community by their clans and families, counting the name of every individual male.

3You and Aaron are to number all in Israel who can serve in the army, those who are twenty years old or older, by their divisions.

4And to help you there is to be a man from each tribe, each man the head of his family.

5Now these are the names of the men who are to help you: from Reuben, Elizur son of Shedeur;

6from Simeon, Shelumiel son of Zurishaddai;

7from Judah, Nahshon son of Amminadab;

8from Issachar, Nethanel son of Zuar;

9from Zebulun, Eliab son of Helon;

10from the sons of Joseph: from Ephraim, Elishama son of Ammihud; from Manasseh, Gamaliel son of Pedahzur;

11from Benjamin, Abidan son of Gideoni;

12from Dan, Ahiezer son of Ammishaddai;

13from Asher, Pagiel son of Ocran;

14from Gad, Eliasaph son of Deuel;

15from Naphtali, Ahira son of Enan.”

16These were the ones chosen from the community, leaders of their ancestral tribes. They were the heads of the thousands of Israel.

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

18and they assembled the entire community together on the first day of the second month. Then the people recorded their ancestry by their clans and families, and the men who were twenty years old or older were listed by name individually,
